Fader
The 60mm fader can be used as a normal channel fader where it
will affect the level of signal to the main L-R bus and the post-
fade auxes. There is 10dB of gain at the top of the travel.
The fader can also be used as a MIDI controller if the
FADER=MIDI switch is pressed on that channel. In this case, the
audio is bypassed at unity gain and a continuous controller mes-
sage is sent to the FireWire bus and the MIDI output DIN con-
nector.
These configuration switches determine the mode of operation
for ZED-R16 and are usually not required to be changed while
the desk is in use. For this reason they are placed near the fader,
and once set should not get in the way of normal operation.

DIG SND Post EQ switch
This switch determines the source for the digital output for each
channel. In the up position the source is just after the pre-amp
and Hi pass filter. If pressed in, then the source is from after the
EQ IN switch. One or the other signal will always be sent for
digital conversion.
DIG RET Pre INSert switch
This switches the digital input for that channel into the channel
path, replacing the signal from the pre-amp. The digital input is
switched in just before the insert point. The switch below over-
rides this switch and the indicating LED is turned off if the
switch below is pressed.
DIG RET Post EQ switch
The digital input for that channel can also be switched in after
the equaliser. This switch overrides the one above it as the digi-
tal input is switched in later in the signal path of the channel, and
hence the LED extinguishes the one above it.

FADER=MIDI switch
The 60mm fader can also be used as a MIDI controller if the
FADER=MIDI switch is pressed on that channel. When pressed
in, the audio is bypassed at unity gain and a continuous control-
ler message is sent to the FireWire bus and the MIDI output
DIN connector which can be assigned to control functions in
your software application, or to control external MIDI equip-
ment.
