Fader Module
If you prefer to have faders available to you, the monitors can be populated with virtual faders,
called fader modules.
To open the fader module on a monitor:
Step 1: Go to Browser>Virtual Controls>Fader Module. A window will open in the CIA
displaying your monitor placement options for the module.
Step 2: Click the placement option in the CIA in which you want the module to appear.
To close the fader module on a monitor:
Step 1: Go to Browser>Virtual Controls>Close Module. The placement screen will appear
again in the CIA.
Step 2: Click the placement of the module you wish to close. The module will be removed.
Using Direct Selects
Direct selects allow access to a number of controls, including a channel select display. If there are
more items than can be viewed at once, you may view subsequent pages by using the page buttons
({Page
}, {Page }) by the direct selects.
Selecting Channels with Direct Selects
Channel direct selects are highlighted when selected. Channel selection is generally an additive
process, if channels 1-5 are selected, pressing {Channel 6} adds channel 6 to the selection,
leaving channels 1-5 also selected. Pressing {Channel 6} again will deselect the channel.
If you have labeled channels in patch, those labels will be displayed above the channel number
when viewing channels in the direct selects.
It is possible to double hit a channel button. This selects that channel and deselects any previously
selected channels.
{Channel 1} - adds channel 1 to currently selected channels, if not currently selected.
{Channel 1} {Channel 10} - adds channels 1 and 10 to currently selected channels.
{Channel 1} {Channel 1} - selects channel 1, deselects all other channels.
{Page
} - pages direct selects down by one page.
{Page
} - pages direct selects up by one page.
