20 Storing and Using Submasters 259
Submasters can also be recorded using selective storing, which allows you to specify only the
channels that you want stored.
• [6] [Thru] [1][0] [Record] [Sub] [3] [Enter] - records only channels 6 through 10 to
submaster 3.
If a submaster already has data stored to it, selective store will act as a merge function. Using the
above example of channels 6 through 10 stored to submaster 3, if you were to then store channel
5 to submaster 3, that would be added to the current content so that channels 5 through 10 are now
stored.
If you don't want the data to merge, you can either first delete the submaster to remove the original
content. See “Deleting a Submaster” on page 264. Or you can selective store while using [Rem
Dim].
• [5] Record] [Sub] [3] [Rem Dim] [Enter] - records channel 5 to submaster 3 and removes
any previous data from the submaster.
Submaster Displays
In the display window of any programmed submaster, you will see the following:
• Submaster number
• Submaster label (if any)
• Independent flag (if any)
• I-Master flag (I.M. - if any)
• Current submaster value
Additive, Inhibitive, or Effectsub
You may define your submaster as additive (contributes to the live output) or inhibitive (limits live
output). Ion defaults to submasters being additive.
To toggle a submaster between additive, inhibitive, or effectsub:
• [Sub] [7] {Mode} [Enter]
Additive submasters are indicated by a green LED or a green outlined fader icon in the fader
window.
Inhibitive submasters display these indicators in red. Channels mastered by an inhibitive submaster
are indicated with an “I” next to the intensity value in the channel display in live. Inhibitive
submasters do not provide levels to the stage picture, they limit them (similar to a grandmaster). It
is possible to put non-intensity parameters onto an inhibitive submaster, but it must be done from
blind.
For more information about effectsub, See “Effects on Submasters” on page 254.
Proportional vs. Intensity Master
A submaster can be set to be either a proportional fader or an intensity master. This is done using
the {Fader} softkey. Ion defaults to submasters as proportional.
Proportional submasters
When a submaster is proportional, the slider will control all contents of the submaster (intensity and
non-intensity parameters) when moved from zero. When a proportional sub is return toward zero,
channel will be returned to their previous level.
The bump button can be used to bump all values to their recorded levels in the submaster, or, by
assigning timing values, fade the contents of the submaster up or out.
