Pile-on convention
MicroVision FX uses a pile-on convention rather than last-action conven-
tion to determine levels for channels. Pile-on means that MicroVision FX
reads all output levels it receives for a specific channel and sets that
channel to the highest of these levels. For example, a channel included
in a submaster and a cue will output at the higher of the two levels.
The only exceptions to MicroVision FX ’s pile-on convention are channels
captured by the keyboard or fader wheel. Captured channel settings
override submaster and fader pair outputs. When you release captured
channels, they return to the level they were set at using pile-on
convention.
