for individual faders will not be written to the device until clicking the “Assign” button associated

with that fader. All changes made to all faders can be written to the target device in their entirety by

clicking “Assign All”.

Mixer Mode - In Mixer Mode, faders are assigned to the host device’s output channel

mixer, with each fader corresponding to an input source for that mixer. While any fader can be arbi-

trarily set to control any mixer input source, mixer mode setup is enhanced by the automatic ﬁ ll-in of

increasing channel faders corresponding with increasing input sources. Once the initial fader is set,

incrementing fader numbers will be automatically assigned in order, up to the point where they run

into a fader which was previously assigned elsewhere. The host unit’s mixer will appear with red

arrows to the left of each fader, indicating current position of FR-8/16 faders assigned to that mixer.

I/O Level Control Mode - I/O Level Control mode offers individual assignment of

FR-8/16 faders to single input or output channel DSP gain controls on the host unit, whereby the FR-

8/16 fader works along with the gain tool (or other remote control gain tools). In the DSP gain tool

of the host unit, there will appear a green arrow to the left of the fader to indicate cumulative remote

control gain in addition to the host unit’s own DSP gain setting. The resulting numeric gain total

shown at the bottom of the fader window is the net sum of all contributing gain controls.

Options

Show Signal Level on Buttons - The switch buttons above

each fader normally glow green when active and red when muted. There

is an option in the control surface conﬁ guration window to have all fader

buttons show signal level (see color key) instead of mute status. The dBfs

(full scale) rating is used in the DSP domain, where 0dBfs is the maximum

audio level possible in the targeted device.

Disable Master Fader - In either fader mode, the Master Fader normally controls, as

a group, the overall level of each assigned fader. The master fader can be disabled by checking the

‘Disable Master Fader” check box in the control surface conﬁ guration window.

Clear All - This button clears the settings of all faders in the conﬁ guration window. It

does not clear the “Show Signal Level on Buttons” or “Disable Master Fader” check boxes.

Assign All - This button writes all of the fader conﬁ guration changes made in soft-

ware to the FR-8/16 remote device.

6.1b Fader Test Window

The Fader Test tab in the main control

panel window shows a real-time image of the

associated FR-8/16 device. Current position and

changes made to the actual device will be shown

here. There are no user controls in this window,

it is for status viewing only.
