20 Storing and Using Submasters 265
Using Bump Button Timing With Submasters
Each submaster bump can have three different timing values: Upfade, Dwell, and Downfade (see
below). The default timing is set so that the bump functions as an “on” flash key for additive
submasters and an “off” flash key for inhibitive submasters. Effects on submasters will follow
submaster timing, unless timing has been placed in the effect itself
The three timing values are:
• Upfade time - this is the time for the submaster to fade from its home position to its target
position (0 to Full if additive, Full to 0 if inhibitive). The default time is 0.
• Dwell time - this is the time the submaster look will hold before starting the downfade. This
can be set to a specified time, or to “Hold” or “Manual”. “H old” time maintains the submaster
values until the bump is pressed a second time. “Manual” time applies the submaster values
only as long as the bump is held. The default is “Manual”.
• Downfade time - this is the time for the submaster to fade from its target position to its home
position. The default time is 0.
At any time, the potentiometer can be used to manually override fade progression or a submaster
triggered with time.
To add bump button timing live:
• [Sub] [8] [Time] [3] [Time] [4] [Time] [3] [Enter] - adds a 3 second upfade, 4 second dwell
and 3 second downfade to submaster 8.
• [Sub] [2] [Time] [Time] {Manual} [Time] [3] [Enter] - adds a manual dwell time and a 3
second downfade time to submaster 2. When the bump is pressed and held, it will flash on and
stay on until the button is released, at which time it will begin the downfade.
• [Sub] [4] [Time] [3] [Time] {Hold} [Enter] - adds a 3 second upfade time, and a ‘hold’ dwell
time. When the bump is pressed, the upfade starts. Once at the target value it will remain there
until the button is pressed again. The downfade will “bump” to zero.
• [Sub] [3] [Time] [Enter] - resets all time for submaster 3 to default (Up = 0, Dwell = Manual,
Down = 0).
Controlling Subfades Manually
It is possible to take control of submasters even if they have recorded time. To capture the fade you
must push the potentiometer past the current fade level. Once this is done, control is transferred to
the potentiometer for full manual control.
You may then use the potentiometer to increase or decrease the submaster level as needed.
