6 – Faders
The X-9 faders are not all that they appear at first
sight! Their behavior can be changed so that their
“curve” can fit your way of working, so that they can be pulled or pushed to increase the level, and they
can also start and stop other devices connected to the
X-9. See below for details.
Program fader “curve”
The fader “curve” decides how much the signal is cut
then the fader is moved to the center position away
from the “full on” position. The program faders can be set individually (they do
not all have to share the same setting).
The titles in this illustration refer to the explanation
regarding setting as given in “Program fader curve”
on page 19 (
15Fc ).
Program fader direction
As shipped, the faders on the X-9 work so that when
you push them away from you, the level of the signal
increases. When the faders are pulled towards you,
the level decreases.
Some people prefer to work the other way round, so
that pulling the faders towards you increases the vol-
ume. Each program fader can be set individually to
work the way you prefer. See “Program fader
reverse” on page 19 (
16Fr ) for details.
Alternatively , you can set fader reverse in the fol-
lowing way:
1 Press and hold down a FUNCTION key and
the matching ENTER key together.
2 Press the CUE key of the program to toggle
the fader direction, while holding down the
two keys above. The
CUE key lights when the
fader is reversed.
NOTE
When the fader direction is reversed in this way, the
fader start operation (see “Program fader direction” on
page 21) is also reversed.
Fader start
The program faders can be used for automated start
or stop of remote devices, using the fader start/stop
jacks (see “Program faders” on page 8 for details of
connections, etc.).
Whether the faders control the start/stop of the
remote device is a menu setting, and you can enable
or disable the fader start for each fader individually.
Alternatively , you can use the following method
for setting fader start:
1 Press and hold down a FUNCTION key and
the matching ENTER key together.
2 Press the program selection key ( PHONO/
LINE /DIGITAL or INPUT/INPUT ) while hold-
ing down the two keys above to toggle fader
start on or off. The selection key lights when
fader start is enabled for the program.
