state is released, and it is then possible to execute a
transition.
Once the fader lever is
moved to this position,
the non-sync state
ends, and transition
execution is possible.
• If the fader lever is moved in the direction away from the
lit/flashing LEDs, the transition is executed over the
remaining part of the fader lever travel.
• Even in a non-sync state, you can execute an auto
transition. During auto transition execution by pressing
the [AUTO TRANS] button (or [TAKE] button), the
transition indicator shows the transition progress in the
usual way, but when the transition completes, they once
again indicate the non-sync state.
Note
The transition indicator display state (lit or flashing) is set
in the Setup menu (see page 432).
If an auto transition is executed
after moving the fader lever from
top to bottom and stopping mid
transition: Top two LEDs light/
flash.
If an auto transition is executed
after moving the fader lever from
bottom to top and stopping mid
transition: Bottom two LEDs
light/flash.
Fader Lever Operation in Bus Fixed
Mode
Flip-flop mode and bus fixed mode
This section describes flip-flop mode and bus fixed mode
on an M/E bank, as an example. The functionality is the
same on the PGM/PST bank.
Normally, when a background transition is executed on an
M/E bank, the signals selected on the background A bus
and background B bus are interchanged at the end of the
transition. That is to say, except during a transition, the
background output is always from the background A bus.
This is called "flip-flop mode."
The alternative is known as "bus fixed mode," in which
there is no bus interchange between the A bus and B bus
signals. In this mode, when the fader lever is at the top of
its travel the output from the A bus is always 100%, and
when the fader lever is at the bottom of its travel the output
from the B bus is 100%.
Lit buttons
In bus fixed mode, there is a fixed relationship between the
position of the fader lever and the signal output on the
background A bus and background B bus. When executing
a manual transition, the fader lever must therefore always
be moved in the directions shown in the following table
according to the transition direction. This does not affect
