About Fan
Fan provides the ability to spread parameter and timing values in a range across a channel
selection set and have those values be evenly spaced. Fan is applied by channel selection or
group order. By default, fan operation is from the start channel.
When {Fan} is pressed after a channel selection, the softkeys will repaint to the following fan
styles:
•
{Center} - The middle channel in the order is set as the start and will remain unchanged,
and the first and last channels will change in different directions. The level wheel will
decrease the lower number channels and increase the higher number channels.
•
{Reverse} - The selected channel order is reversed before applying the fan.
•
{Mirror Out} - The middle channel in the selected order is used as the starting channel and
the first and last channels in the order are the end channels.
•
[1] [Thru] [5] [At] [1][0] [Thru] [3][0] {Fan} {Mirror Out} [Enter] - sets channel 1 to 30%, 2
to 20%, 3 to 10%, 4 to 20%, and 5 to 30%.
•
{Repeat} - The number of channels that are fanned before the pattern is repeated.
•
[1] [Thru] [1][2] [At] [5][0] [Thru] [7][0] {Fan} {Repeat} [3] [Enter] - sets channels 1,4,7, and
10 at 50%, 2,5,8, and 11 at 60%, and 3,6,9, and 12 at 70%.
•
{Cluster} - The channels are put into collections, which contains channels with all of the
same value.
•
[1] [Thru] [1][2] [At] [5][0] [Thru] [8][0] {Fan} {Cluster} [4] [Enter] - sets channels 1 through
3 at 50%, 4 through 6 at 60%, 7 through 9 at 70%, 10 through 12 at 80%.
•
{Random} - The selected channels are put in a random order before fan is applied.
Fanning Parameter Data
Fan values can be adjusted with MLControls or via the keypad. To adjust the fan values with
MLControls, select the required channels and provide a baseline, if necessary, followed by
{Fan}.
If no value is entered, the current values will be used. When using ML Controls to adjust fan, it is
not necessary to specify the parameter to be fanned. This is determined by the virtual encoder
used.
•
[1] [Thru] [5] {Fan} [Enter] - selects the channels 1 through 5 and puts virtual encoders and
level wheel into fan mode.
•
[1] [Thru] [5] [At] [5] <0> {Fan} [Enter] - selects the channels 1 through 5, sets a start level
of 50% and puts virtual encoders and level wheel into fan mode.
•
[1] [Thru] [5] {Fan} {Mirror} [Enter] - selects the channels 1 through 5 and puts virtual
encoders and level wheel into fan mode with mirror style.
Fan From the Command Line
A level or time command that uses [Thru] or a list of references is a command line fan
command.
Note: The {Fan} key is not necessary unless a fan style other than the default is
needed.
To adjust the fan values from the command line:
•
[1] [Thru] [5] [At] [1] <0> [Thru] [5] <0> [Enter] - sets channel 1 to 10%, 2 to 20%, 3 to
30%, 4 to 40%, and 5 to 50%. This is the default fan adjustment and the {Fan} command
is not necessary.
