There is no function.

The input of a fader can be changed using the Main Rotary Encoder in a Control Module of the same Access Group.

This operation is only possible with Pool Faders. (see Input Pools – Properties)

This operation is locked while the fader is open.

The Fader is assigned to the Central Control Panel in “Access-Mode”, Digital Gain is activated as first parameter.

Digital Gain can be changed with the Main Rotary Encoder of the same Access Group without pressing any further keys; the System Function “Gain” is selected automatically.

Useful for the modules RM420-010 and RM420-013.

Not useful for the modules RM420-012 and RM420-014, since dedicated Rotary Encoders for Gain are available here.

The fader is assigned to the Central Control Panel in “Access-Mode”, the selection of the Fader Inputs is activated as first parameter.

The Input can be changed with the Main Rotary Encoder of the same Access Group without pressing any further keys; the System Function “Input Selection” is selected automatically.

When the fader is open, this operation is always locked! (Display “Input locked”)

Useful for the modules RM420-012, RM420-010, RM420-014 and RM420-013.

The fader is assigned to the Central Control Panel in “Access-Mode”, Panorama/Balance is activated as first parameter.

Panorama and/or Balance can be changed with the Main Rotary Encoder of the same Access Group without pressing any further keys; the System Function “Pan/Bal” is selected automatically.

The audio channel is switched on.

By default, audio signal and faderstart are activated. In the dialog Audio System/Faderstart further options can be set (On Start, Auto Off and Level). (see Faderstart)

The channel is switched off.

By default, audio signal and faderstart are deactivated. In the dialog Audio System/Faderstart further options can be set (On Start, Auto Off and Level). (see Faderstart)

The channel is toggled on and off with the same key.

By default, audio signal and faderstart are toggled. In the dialog Audio System/Faderstart further options can be set (On Start, Auto Off and Level). (see Faderstart)

One fader is switched on to the Program Bus.

Using the Program Bus, Groups can be created.

In Access Mode, there are further operation options available for switching on a bus.

Operation locked while the fader is open.

Automatic toggling of one channel between Program Bus 1 and Program Bus 2, e.g. for Off Air Recording. After using this function, the signal is switched on to Program Bus 1 or Program Bus 2 only.

This function can also be used at open fader.

The Clean-Feed signal is created from Pgm 1 or Pgm 2 depending on the current state.

Pre-listening of the signals before the fader, either summing or alternating.

The pre-listening signal is always generated using a separate summing bus and is available as audio source Audio Source/Monitor Functions/PFL L,R.

Option summing.

Option resets all PFL keys when any other fader is opened.

Option resets the PFL key when the corresponding fader is opened.

Key engages. If this checkbox is switched off, the function remains active only as long as the key is pressed. (Non-locking key, default mode) If it is on, the key toggles with each press.

Key engages (press short) or non-locking (press long).

Monitoring of the signals after fader, either summing or alternating.

The monitor signal is always generated using a separate summing bus and is available as audio source in the Audio Sources Window under Mixing/Busname L, R .

The bus must be defined under Audio System/Mixing Functions; the bus number to be set under the Program Bus must correspond to the created bus. (see also Mixing Functions – Configuring Internal Buses )

One internal logic function is created with which the monitor signals can be toggled using Output Functions. You find this Logic Source in the Logic Sources Window under System Functions/Solo.

Only one Solo function per Device should be configured!

Option summing.

The function is active as long as the key is pressed and held.

Channel related alternating monitor keys; can work independently or in conjunction with a Control Module. The set of monitor keys can be extended with this function e.g. over the faders, and is independent from the PFL function.

You can define the sources for the monitor buses under Audio System/Fader Channels/Monitor Bus Source. (see also Fader Channels – Configuring Signal Sources for Faders) There you can assign any signal, e.g. the corresponding input signal or the Clean Feed signal belonging to the channel path.

The lamp in the key indicates the state “ON”, if the fader is open. The key function itself is unused.

The function is activated on pressing a key and reset by opening the corresponding fader. A reasonable application is the “Next Fader” memory key.

The generated logic source can also be used at any other location in the system.

Key engages. If this checkbox is switched off, the function remains active only as long as the key is pressed. (Non-locking key, default mode) If it is on, the key toggles with each press.

This function is only available if an Output Selector Source List was assigned under Audio System/Mixing Functions to the corresponding Clean Feed Bus. (see Output Selector Source List)

In the assigned Output Selector Source List, at least one signal must be defined; if more signals are to be selected, one further operating function for selecting must be configured. Therefore, in a Control Module, create a function Encoder Function/Output Select or System Function/Output Selection.

Activates the logic source Logic Source/Clean Feed/CF Output Select <name of input>, if a Fader Channel with activated Clean Feed function is routed on the fader.

The generated logic source can also be used at any other location in the system.
