Chapter 7: Basic Submaster Operation
Software Version 3.05
91
Each Bump button can be set individually to one of four different modes of
operation:
?? ON = Enables Bump button to read at its assigned level
while button is held down
(momentary switch action).
?? OFF = Disables Bump button.
?? SOLO = Inhibits all channel levels (drives them to zero)
except the channels in the
“Solo" sub. Only the channels assigned to the Solo sub read on stage when
Bump button is pressed.
?? TOGGLE = Toggles between Full and the current level of sub
fader, with each press of
the Bump button.
A Solo Bump button works like a normal Bump button set to "On", in that it
drives the sub to Full. The difference is that the Solo Bump button also
"inhibits" all other channel levels (from all sources) for as long as the Bump
button is held down. In other words, all active levels are forced to zero except
those that are from the submaster. Once the Solo Bump button is released, all
channels instantly return to their assigned levels.
? NOTE: A Solo Bump button does not affect Automated channels or
Parked dimmers.
The right side of the Status Bar in the Submaster display shows the Bump
button mode of the currently selected sub. (See Figure 7.2, earlier in this
chapter.)
? Example: To turn a Bump button On or Off, or to set to Solo or
Toggle mode for a selected submaster, in the Submaster display:
1. (SUB TYPE)
2. (BUMP ON) (Enables Bump button as a
momentary switch.)
- or -
(BUMP OFF) (Disables Bump button.)
- or -
(SOLO BUMP) (Sets Bump button to Solo mode.)
- or -
(BUMP TOGGL) (Sets Bump button to Toggle
mode.)
(It is not necessary to press the [ENTER] key.)
Use the (ALL BUMPS) soft key to turn all of the Bump buttons On or Off, or to
set all Bump buttons to Solo or Toggle mode, in one command.
