Using XE-6 Faders
Introduction
The Xe6 Fader Extender has 6 faders for individual feeds, buses, or groups. You can use up to four of
these units together on one Xynergi system, to control up to 24 signal paths at the same time.
Installation of Xe6 faders is described in detail in the Xynergi Installation manual: Xynergi Media
Production Centre Quickstart.pdf, which is supplied with your system, and found in the folder
C:\Program Files\Fairlight\Dream II\Docs.
This chapter assumes you have successfully installed and tested your XE-6 unit(s).
Basic Operation
Fader
Each fader controls the channel volume level in a range from -90 dB to +10 dB. The current fader level
can be read in the OLED display above (more info about this below). To set the fader to exactly 0 dB,
hold down the
BLUE
button and touch the fader.
The motors work during automation playback to track the level data recorded for the channel being
controlled. During automation recording the motors switch off, allowing new movements to be recorded.
The touch sensor tells Dream II that you have touched the fader. The most common use is to put the
fader into automation write when you move it. It is also possible to call the controlled channel to the
Xynergi Pad by touching the fader. To switch this fuction on, use the
Call
menu in the
Setup
Megamode
.
Mute
The Mute button is used to turn the channel on and off. When the channel is muted, it is equivalent to
having the fader pulled right down, and no signal passes from the channel to its send destination.
