Multi-Function Faders (MFFs)
FLX consoles are equipped with 24 Multi-Function Faders. These can quickly and easily be switched between theirtwo
functions (“Channels” and “Playbacks”) by using the Fader Funct. button.
Channels
When set to “Channels”, the faders directly control each light (or “fixture”) in the rig. Each fixture, no matter what it is,
will have a single “Channel Number”, and so will take up a single channel fader. FLX consoles have no fixture
limitation. The Page buttons can be used to switch the faders between fixtures (see below).
Playbacks (or cues, stacks, submasters or chases)
Lighting “states” (or “scenes”) can be pre-recorded, ready to be recalled later. They are called “cues”, and are
recorded onto “playbacks”. Each playback can store a single cue, or multiple cues. FLX consoles support 240
playbacks, plus the “Master Playback”. Traditionally, playbacks with a single cue have often been referred to as
“submasters” whereas playbacks with multiple cues have often been referred to as “cue stacks”. We simply call them
all playbacks.
Page
On FLX, the page buttons allow you to Page Up or Page Down through all the available Channels or Playbacks
(dependent on the current selection of the Fader Function button). You have a maximum of 99 pages in Channels, and
10 pages in Playbacks. Switching between “Channels” and “Playbacks” will automatically change the page to the page
you had previously selected when in that function.
Master Playback
For many shows, especially theatrical, a single playback is often used with a long list of pre-recorded cues. For these
situations, an additional “Master Playback” is provided. A double-width Play / GO button and a dedicated pause button
is included.
User Definable Keys (UDKs)
Four UDKs are provided and can be assigned to a range of functionality including recalling lighting states, Groups,
Palettes, and Effects, or accessing advanced functionality such as RemDim or Highlight.
Function keys
Function keys either perform functions themselves (like Home and View ), or change the functionality of other
buttons when pressed at the same time (like Setup and Shift ).
Command Keys
Command keys are used during programming to access commands such as Record , Update and Delete .
