Manual Fades
Cues that are assigned a Manual fade time load to the lowest numbered
playback fader when you press the GO button, and wait to be executed by the
movement of the fader handle. The fade takes place as you move the handle
along to the completion of its travel. When the handle reaches the top of the
fader (at 10), the fade is complete and is cleared from the fader automatically
(when the console is in Automatic Fader Clear mode). You may reverse the
direction of the fade anytime before you reach the top of the fader travel, but
once you get to 10 the fade is complete and cleared from the fader.

Manual Fader Clear Mode topic later in this chapter.
Take Control Buttons
Underneath each playback fader is a Take Control button with a green LED in
it. Use the Take Control buttons to change fades from timed to manual, or to
clear manual fades from the playback faders. The LEDs indicate the current
status of each playback fader as follows:
?? LED is on: = A timed fade is currently running on the
playback fader.
?? LED is flashing: = A manual fade is currently loaded on the
playback fader, or manual
control has been taken over a timed fade.
?? LED is off: = No fade is currently running on the
playback fader (the fader
is "empty").
Taking Manual Control of Timed Cues
As a timed cue is running on a playback fader, you can take manual control of
the fade and complete it using the playback fader handle. To change the fade
to a manual fade, press the Take Control button that is located directly below
the playback fader. The remaining part of the fade is immediately assigned to
the playback fader. The fade actually ceases running until you continue it by
moving the playback fader . You can complete the remainder of the fade as
though it were a manual fade. When you stop a fade with the Take Control
button, the LED flashes and the Playback Fader Box shows the word
"MANUAL" in reverse video.
