Sequences Playback in SmartFade

Last updated

Sequences can have up to 24 steps, and are played back from the last four faders in MEMS mode. In each of the 12 fader pages the buttons with stored sequences will light up dimmed in yellow when a page is selected. When the fader is contributing to the output, the button will light up in full.

Select Fader Page

If a fader is above zero when a different page is selected, it will not be updated to the content of the new page until it reaches zero.

Select fader page	(Held)	As long as the button is held, the current fader page is indicated with a lit bump 1-12. Bumps for pages with recorded information will blink. To select a new page, press bump 1-12 and let go of the MEMS button.

Sequence Bump Modes

The content of sequence faders can be bumped to the level of the BUMPS fader in two ways. This is controlled with the SOLO button.

OFF = The level generated by pressing a bump button adds into the live output.
ON = The level generated by pressing a bump button replaces the current output.

Fade, Rate & BPM for Sequences

The RATE button can provide Rate, Fade and BPM override for any sequence. This will affect the playback of the whole Sequence temporarily. When a Rate, Fade or BPM override is cleared the original times are retained.

Rate

Activate RATE and then press the bump button of any fader (in MEMS mode) with a sequence.

Use the wheel to set a Rate % that will scale the total time of the whole Sequence. Original timing is not lost and may be recovered by clearing the Rate %.

If a BPM is set, it will replace the Rate %.

Fade

Activate RATE and then press the bump button of any fader (in MEMS mode) with a sequence.Then hold RATE.

Use the wheel to set a Fade % that will scale the fade times of the whole Sequence. Fade 0% means no fade. Original fade timing is not lost and may be recovered by clearing the Fade %.

BPM

Beats Per Minute (BPM) is a musical term that can be applied to the playback rate of a sequence in looped mode. The BPM rate will override all times. All steps will be set to toggle on/off with the same duration as the BPM.

Step 1: Activate RATE and then press the bump button of any fader (in MEMS mode) with a sequence. Then hold RATE.

Step 2: While holding RATE, tap the bump button of the fader with a sequence to set the BPM. When you let go of RATE you will return to the rate display, where the resulting BPM time is shown instead of Rate.

Step 3: Use the wheel to set a BPM that will scale the step times of the whole Sequence. Original timing is not lost and may be recovered by clearing rate.

Clearing Rate, Fade & BPM

Action	Console	Feedback
Activate Rate		The rate and fade settings for the last selected sequence will be selected and shown in the display.
Select sequence (in MEMS mode)	... or ...	The rate and fade settings for the selected sequence will be shown in the display.
Reset Rate, Fade & BPM	and	The rate and fade settings for the currently selected sequence will be reset and will default back to its original times.
