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 an auto transition is executed after moving the fader lever from top to bottom and stopping mid transition: Top 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%. Fader lever Lit buttons If an auto transition is executed after moving the fader lever from bottom to top and stopping mid transition: Bottom two LEDs light/flash. • 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. Flip-flop mode Note The transition indicator display state (lit or flashing) is set in the Setup menu (see page 430). Bus fixed mode 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 96
