Fader Setting Options
From Figure 236 on page 127, these setting options are available.
Autostart
The Autostart option will only shown for cuelists. Enabling it will cause the cuelist to be started
when the Fader is pulled up from 0%.
Autostop
The Autostop option is only shown for cuelists. Enabling it will cause the cuelist to be stopped as
soon as the Fader reaches the 0% value.
Fetch Mode
Fetch Mode is especially useful if more than one Fader Page is used. When Fetch Mode is enabled
for a fader, the console will save the current faders value when changing the fader page. When
you change back to the page where this object resides on the fader, you will have to reach this value before any fader
movement is recognized.
Example with Fetch Mode
You are on Page 1 and Master 1 contains a Group Master that has the fader set to 48%. You change to Fader-Page 2,
where a different object is assigned to Master 1, and move the fader to 100%. You switch to Fader-Page 1 again and
move the Fader of Master 1 (which physically is now at 100%, while the Value of the Group master still resides at
48%), nothing will happen to the Group Masters value until the Fader physically reached the value of 49%. It will
apply new values only if it has been "Picked up" or "Fetched" at the previous value.
Example without Fetch Mode
You are on Page 1 and Master 1 contains a Group Master that has the fader set to 48%. You change to Fader Page 2,
where a different object is assigned to Master 1, and move the fader to 100%. You switch to Fader Page 1 again and
move the Fader of Master 1 (which physically is now at 100%, while the value of the Group Master still resides at
48%), the Group Masters value will jump to the new value instantly.
