7.0 FADE TIMES & CHANNELS
7.1 OVERVIEW
TIME FADERS
The time faders allow individual IN (up) and OUT (down) fade times to be set. The times may range
from 0 seconds up to 190 seconds (3 minutes 10 seconds).
• When either Time fader is moved, its current time setting is shown on the display.
• Pressing [function] during normal operations causes the display to momentarily show the current
time IN or OUT settings of the time faders whilst it is held down. Subsequent presses will toggle
between the two time settings
MEMORY TIMES
Individual IN (up) and OUT (down) fade times may be recorded for every scene and every step in a
stack. The times may range from 0 seconds up to 16 minutes 39 seconds.
TIMED FADES
When a Bank master or Playback is moved, the output level of that master will always progress
towards the current physical position of that master at a rate set by the relevant time setting.
• On upward movements of masters the IN time will be used
• On downward movements of masters the OUT time will be used.
For example, if an IN fade time of 3 seconds has been set, then to execute a fade in exactly 3
seconds, the master must be moved from bottom to top in less than 3 seconds. If you take longer
than 3 seconds to move the master, then the fade will keep pace with the fader movement. If the
master was only faded to the half way position, then the fade would take 1.5 seconds to reach that
point and then stop. If the master was then moved to the end of its travel, the fade would take
another 1.5 seconds to complete.
MANUAL FADES
A fully manual fade is achieved by setting the fade times to 0 seconds. The fade will then instantly
follow the position of the fader as you move it.

7.4 PLAYBACK FADE TIMES
• When a Playback contains a Scene, its in and out fade times may be controlled by the
Time faders (default) or its In and Out fade times may be recorded in memory as part of the
scene.
“Select” allows you to change the RUN TIME conditions (in time and out time) on the
selected Playback. When you have finished adjusting the time, and you exit “Select” (press
[select] again) the maXim asks “Save Changes To Memory?” If you answer “no”, the original
