Fader Section
The Fader section consists of eight channel
strips, each with identical controls.
Each fader has a motorized touch-sensitive
fader, solo and mute switches, a multi-state
Channel Select switch, a rotary encoder and its
LED ring, and meter LEDs. The LCD display ded-
icates two rows, each with up to six characters,
to each channel strip.
Channel Strip Controls
Channel Faders
Each channel has its own 100 mm, servo-driven,
touch-sensitive, motorized fader for controlling
levels of audio, Auxiliary Input, Master Fader,
MIDI, and Instrument tracks.
Flip Mode
In Flip mode (Flip switch lit), rotary encoder
controls are taken over by the faders, which
makes the rotary encoders available to control
another parameter. For example, in normal
Send View (Send switch lit), rotary encoders
control send level, while faders control output
gain. In Flip mode, faders (instead of rotary en-
coders) control the send level parameters and
rotary encoders control pan.
Muting Fader Movement
Because 003 faders are motorized, they move to
follow automation when playing back and re-
cording (when the track is set to an automation
read or write mode, and not Off). During critical
listening passes, the sound of the fader motors
and their automated movements may be dis-
tracting. You can temporarily shut off (or mute)
motorized fader movement using the Fader
Mute switch.
