Fader Start function

Using the Fader Start function

Here’s how you can use the Fader Start function to remotely control an external device connected to the MIDI OUT con-

nector / RS422 connector / GPI connector.

1. Connect your external device to the MIDI IN con-

nector / RS422 connector / GPI connector of the

engine or console.

• If the PM1D system is being used in Mirror

mode, and the GPI connector is selected as the

output destination for fader start, the output will

always be linked for engine A and B. If the MIDI

connector or RS422 connector is selected as the

output destination, the command will be output

only to the currently-enabled engine.

• If the PM1D system is being used in Dual Con-

sole mode (→p.11), it will make no difference to

the Fader Start function whether you operate the

fader of one or the other console. Also, fader start

settings may be made from either console, and

the MIDI connector / RS422 connector / GPI

connector of either console may be speciﬁed as

the output destination.

It will also make no difference to the Fader Start

function whether you operate the fader from the PC

(PM1D Manager). However if you connect a PC to a

system that includes a console, it will not be possible

to make fader start settings from the PC. In this case,

you must make these settings from the console.

2. Access the MIDI/GPI/TC function FADER START

screen.

3. Use the buttons of the ASSIGN MODE area to select

how you will make fader start assignments.

• If you select the INPUT CH button

The INPUT CH/UNIT area will display the odd-

numbered input channels (in vertical pair mode,

channels 1–48) and the L channels of ST IN. The

name display ﬁeld will show the short name of the

channel or the unit name, according to the NAME

MODE you selected at the bottom of the screen.

• If you select UNIT 1-3 – UNIT 8-10

The INPUT CH/UNIT area will display only the

odd-numbered ports of the usable units/cards/ports.

In this case, the name display area will always show

the unit name.

Hint

If you select UNIT 1-3 – UNIT 8-10 as the ASSIGN

MODE, you will be able to make fader start assign-

ments that depend on patch settings.

For example if multiple audio sources are being

input separately to the ports of multiple units, you

can create patch library or scene settings that succes-

sively connect different audio sources to the same

fader, so that the same fader can be used for fader

start operation even after recall.

When you click the ASSIGN MODE button, the

FADER START INITIALIZE popup window will

appear, asking you whether it is OK to initialize the

fader start settings.

Hint

• If the INPUT CH button is on, only every other

fader will be usable for the Fader Start function. If

the corresponding input channel is paired, you can

use the other fader to control the Fader Start func-

tion.

• If you want to assign the Fader Start function to

the faders of consecutively-numbered input chan-

nels, turn on one of the UNIT 1-3 – UNIT 8-10

buttons, and assign consecutive input channels to

each port, or else use Vertical Pair mode.

4. If it is OK to initialize the fader start settings, click

the OK button to close the popup window.

When you click the OK button, all existing settings

will be lost.
