| Activate Fader Function | Enable fader function for this channel. Default value is off. Fader Function correlates with key function fader function (See Console - Key Elements for more information). Fader function keys can serve as a logical source, e.g. for Talk purposes. |
| Lamp Source 1 | • If you have assigned the Fader Function key function to a key of a fader module, here you can select a logic source which causes the LED of this key to light up.• The default logic source is the fader function of the selected fader channel itself (Fader Function/FF <Faderchname>). In this case, the key is lighting up when the fader function is active. • To change the logic source, click Select, the Logic Sources window opens. Select the desired logic source and click Assign. Alternatively, you can double-click on the logic source or drag the logic source to the Source box. • Examples: As talk key for clean feeds or as talk key for headphones, which are assigned to certain microphones (configuration via output functions), fader start on/off for play-out devices (configuration via logic function). |
| Lamp Source 2 | • If you have assigned the Fader Function key function to a key of a fader module, here you can select a logic source which causes the LED of this key to light up.• To change the logic source, click Select, the Logic Sources window opens. Select the desired logic source and click Assign. Alternatively, you can double-click on the logic source or drag the logic source to the Source box. • If lamp source 1 is active, lamp source 2 will be ignored.
