Fader Start
When the Fader Start preference is checked (“Preferences” on page 198), a 
MIDI Note On message (velocity 127) is transmitted when a fader is raised 
from infinity (oo). When the fader is moved back to infinity, a 
corresponding MIDI Note Off message (velocity 0) is transmitted. This can 
be used in conjunction with a “MIDI to trigger” interface box to 
automatically start CD players, tape decks, etc. This function is intended 
for use with stereo sound sources. That’s why only the odd-numbered 
channels 9, 11, 13, and 15 cause a MIDI Note on message to be transmitted. 
Paired mono input channels 9 to 16 and the stereo channels 17 to 24 
provide up to eight stereo pairs for use with Fader Start. MIDI Note 
messages are transmitted on the Transmit Channel set on the MIDI 1/5 
page. MIDI Note On Messages are of the format 9n, kk, vv. Where kk is the 
note number and vv is the velocity.
