CHAPTER 6:
Setting Channel Levels
Two-Scene Preset Mode*
*(Encore models 24/48, and 48/96 only
Does not apply to models XL or XL/2.)
When you have the operating mode switch set to TWO-SCENE, the first thing
that you will notice is that the crossfader LEDs now indicate the position of the
crossfaders. Each crossfader controls the output of one scene, X or Y. The left
crossfader controls Scene X so that when the crossfader is at the top of its
travel, scene X is "at full." The right crossfader controls Scene Y so that when
the crossfader is at the bottom of its travel, Scene Y is at full (backwards to
crossfader X). When both crossfaders are moved together, the look on stage
fades from the contents of one scene to the other scene. By having separate
crossfaders, you can fade one scene in before the other fades out, or vice-versa.
This type of crossfader is called a "Split Crossfader".
When in Two-Scene mode, you cannot affect live channel levels on stage with
the keypad. The only levels that will appear on stage are those that originate
from the channel faders or from submasters. When you are working in any of
the "blind" displays (Submaster, Group, or Effect), you can edit channel levels
only with the keypad. (This is different from Multi-Scene mode.)
?
BASIC RULE: In Two-Scene Preset mode, the channel fader
positions always determine the stage output levels. If you move channel faders
while you are working in a blind display, it will affect live levels on stage.

Scene Mode*
*(Encore models
24/48, and 48/96 only.
Does not apply to models XL or XL/2.)
In Multi-Scene mode, you can use the keypad or the channel faders to enter,
record and edit the levels in console memory, and play the cue back later with
the GO button. This is one difference between the Two-Scene Preset mode and
the Multi-Scene (memory) mode of operation.
In Two-Scene Preset mode, the channel faders always control live stage levels.
You cannot use the channel faders to edit any blind displays. When you are
