The button or buttons located directly above the playbacks load content to the playbacks. The
two buttons below control the [Go] and [Stop/Back] functions.
Faders
In addition to the master playbacks, banks of configurable faders are provided. The faders may
be configured as playbacks, submasters, grandmasters, timing masters, effects masters,
targets, or target lists. One hundred virtual pages of 10 faders each are provided.
Fader Selection Wheel
The fader selection wheel switches the fader banks between direct control of channels and
submasters.
Load Buttons
Element 2 lacks dedicated load buttons for assigning a specified target to a specified fader,
other than for the main playbacks. For all other faders, load is performed with a simultaneous
press of the two bump buttons beneath the fader.
