above, except that in multi-select mode they synchronize the effect for all selected slots, e.g. all
selected slots are switched on or off, rather than toggled individually.
Cue slot state LED feedback
If the top row of buttons is configured with the Slot On/Off function, the LEDs reflects the state of the
cue-slot the in following way:
Off : slot is empty (or sequence being edited)
blinking : slot contains sequence but is off
On : slot contains sequence and is on
Slot state LED feedback may be disabled in the setup dialog

Configuring and using fader and bump functions
Using faders
Fader values - physical and logical values
As the faders may be configured, via page and shift buttons, to control different functions, the physical
location of the fader may not always correspond with the value of the function controlled - this is
typically the situation when using page or shift buttons to change the function of the faders or at
startup where faders may be located randomly while the function value is determined by startup
conditions. Also some functions controllable from Fingers may still be manipulated using the usual
LightJockey controls so even if the intensity sub groups are controlled by faders, sub group levels can
still be altered from the master intensity control.
To get around the problem with faders not positioned at the same value as the function value,
LightJockey implements a 'value crossing' method to activate a fader, which means that an inactive
fader must physically cross from one side of the value to the other before it is activated. The method
is best illustrated using the status panel where the fader and function values are both illustrated using
different colors for different states.
Each of the 12 faders is represented on the status panel, showing the value of each of the 4 functions
allocated to pages A to D. The value of the function assigned to the current selected page shown in
as highlighted bars, in the example above, as yellow and green bars, while the functions assigned to
the other pages are shown as cyan bars. The physical value of the fader is always represented as a
white horizontal bar as well as a white numerical value shown just below the value bars. The logical
value of the function controlled by the fader is shown as a color-coded bar with the numerical value
(also color coded) as the second value below the fader value bars.
In the example above faders 1 and 2 have a physical value that is different from the value of the
function they control (color code = yellow) while fader 3 is active (color code = green). Moving fader 3
will affect the function immediately while faders 1 and 2 must be moved to or across the function value
(fader logical value) in order to activate. In the example fader 1 must be moved down to 147 or below
to activate while fader 2 must be moved up to 111 or above.
Inactive faders activate as soon as their physical value reaches or crosses the logical value (which is
