Releasing Content From a Fader

Note: [Off] and [Release] are used in the examples below. Element 2 and Element Classic users will need to use {Fader Control} {Off} and {Fader Control} {Release}. Ion Classic users will need to use [Fader Control] {Off} and [Fader Control] {Release}.

There are a few ways to release content from a playback fader:

  • [Off] & [Load] - returns control to the background fader, either a cue or a submaster, and stops any effects that are running on that fader. If there is no background value, the intensities will just fade out.

Note: Associated pending and current cues will remain when using [Off] & [Load].

Note: Pressing [Go] will run the cues in their current sequence.

  • [Release] & [Load] - behaves like [Off] & [Load] except that it sets the pending cue to the first cue in the list and removes the active cue. On Element 2, press {Fader Control} to see {Release}.
  • [Shift] & [Load] - behaves like Release & [Load] except that it additionally removes the content entirely from the fader. Pressing [Shift] & [Load] on an empty playback fader will unmap the fader.
  • [Escape] & [Load] - unmaps all instances of the target (cue list, submaster, palette, or preset) on a selected fader.

The [Go To Cue] [Out] [Enter]command can be used to fade out all intensities, reset all cue lists to the top, and to clear out all background LTP fader values.
