Submaster types
Submasters can be pile-on, inhibitive or effect.
Pile-on submaster
A pile-on submaster consists of channels recorded at proportional levels.
If a pile-on submaster’s channel levels are higher than established channel
levels, the submaster’s levels take precedence (except as noted below).
If they are lower, the established levels take precedence. If a submaster
slider contains a recorded pile-on submaster, the green LED lights.
Note: Channel levels set on the keypad and inhibitive submasters both
override pile-on submaster levels.
Inhibitive submaster
An inhibitive submaster holds the output of channels below a specified
level. An inhibitive submaster doesn’t actually set channel levels, it just
prevents them from exceeding a specified level. Only submasters 73
through 108 may be inhibitive. If a submaster slider contains a recorded
inhibitive submaster, the red LED lights.
Effect submaster
An effect submaster has an effect recorded in it. Press an effect submas-
ter’s bump button or move its slider to start the effect running. See Chap-
ter 12, Working with effects , for more information on effect submasters.
Any submaster may be programmed with an effect. If a submaster slider
contains a recorded effect submaster, the green LED lights.
