Rate Override
Note: [Rate] is used below. Consoles without this hardkey use the following syntax:
- [Fader Control] {Rate} - Ion Classic
- {Fader Control} {Rate} - Element 2 / Element Classic
Rate can also be accessed via a connected keyboard with CONTROL+ALT+R.
To collect a playback fader for rate control, press [Rate] & [Load] for the required fader. When [Rate] is pressed without [Load], it always collects the master fader for rate control. A subset of faders can be collected by pressing and holding [Rate] while pressing the [Load] button for the associated faders you would like to add.
On Element 2 and Element Classic, rate control only applies to the master fader pair.
If a cue is complete, any rate adjustment applied affects the cue in the pending file. When that cue is subsequently activated, the adjusted rate is used to direct timing. Pressing [Rate] again will turn rate control off and reset to 100%.
Any fader can be assigned as a Rate Master via Fader Config [Tab 36]. In this configuration, the fader button acts as a [Rate] button and the fader itself acts as a rate wheel.
