13.11 Preset Faders
There are two rows of Presets faders on the Event. The top row of faders is Preset
1 and the bottom row is Preset 2. These faders can be used to smoothly fade a light
to the desired level. The output level produced by the preset faders is dependent on
the level of the Grand Master and the P1 (or P2) Master fader.
Example:
• Bring the Grand Master and P1 Master faders to 10 (100%).
• Move the Channel 1 Preset fader to 100% and you should see the lights
connected to that channel fade up to full level.
• Now fade up Channel 2 to 5 (50%) and check that the lights connected to
Channel 2 are at about 50% level.
• Finally fade the P1 Master down and up to see how it scales the Channel
Preset faders.
13.12 Assign Masters
The Assign Master faders provide a powerful array of features. Underneath each
fader is a Flash button with LED and above the fader is a two line, four character
LCD window. These faders can be used to:
* To control a single Memory
* To control a single Chase
* To control a Stack made up of Memories and / or Chases
13.13 Flash Buttons
The Flash buttons operate in three ways, depending on the setting of the Add / Solo
master switch:
