20 Storing and Using Submasters 261
Additive vs. Inhibitive
You may define your submaster as additive (contributes to the live output) or inhibitive (limits live
output). Eos defaults to submasters being additive.
To toggle a submaster between additive, inhibitive, or effectsub:
• [Sub] [7] {Mode} [Enter]
Additive submasters are indicated by a green LED and a green fader icon in the fader window.
Inhibitive submasters display these indicators in red. Channels mastered by an inhibitive submaster
are indicated with an “I” next to the intensity value in the channel display in live. Inhibitive
submasters do not provide levels to the stage picture, they limit them (similar to a grandmaster). It
is possible to put non-intensity parameters onto an inhibitive submaster, but it must be done from
blind.
For more information about effectsub, See “Effects on Submasters” on page 251.
Proportional vs. Intensity Master
A submaster can be set to be either a proportional fader or an intensity master. This is done using
the {Fader} softkey. Eos defaults to submasters as proportional.
Proportional submasters
When a submaster is proportional, the slider will control all contents of the submaster (intensity and
non-intensity parameters) when moved from zero. When a proportional sub is return toward zero,
channel will be returned to their previous level.
The bump button can be used to bump all values to their recorded levels in the submaster, or, by
assigning timing values, fade the contents of the submaster up or out.
Intensity master
When set to this fader type, the slider will control intensity only. The bump button can be used to
preset (mark) non-intensity parameters stored to the submaster. If the bump is not pressed before
the slider is moved, the slider will also fade the non-intensity-parameters to their recorded values.
Once the non-intensity-parameters are at their end state, the slider only controls intensity. When
dropped toward zero, controlled intensities will be faded toward zero.
To toggle a submaster between a “Proportional” or “I-Master” fader:
• [Sub] [8] {Fader} [Enter]
