Express Two Scene Preset User Manual, v.3.1 261
Manual crossfades
In a crossfade, you normally set the channel settings for one scene blind
(without affecting live settings) while the other is live. When you want to
change from one scene to another, you use the crossfaders to
simultaneously fade the live scene out and bring the next one up.
Follow these steps to create scenes and run a show using manual
crossfades:
Flash a scene
Press [A/B Clear] to flash scene A on stage. Press [A/B Back] to flash
scene B on stage.

1. Pull the A fader all the way
toward you. Push the B
fader fully away from you.

the top bank of channel
sliders at desired levels.
