The two signals that are controlled by the cross-fader 
are known as 
A
 and 
B
.
You can set these to be any of the following using the 
ASSIGN A
 and 
ASSIGN B
 controls below and to the 
right and left of the program faders:
Programs 1 through 4, a sam-
pler (
SAMP 1
 for A, and 
SAMP 2
 for B) or 
THRU
.
The 
THRU
 setting is equivalent 
to OFF. In other words, if either 
the 
ASSIGN A
 or the 
ASSIGN B
 control is set to 
THRU
, no signal is assigned to go through the cross-
fader on that side, and moving the cross-fader to the 
side with the 
THRU
 setting has no effect on that side. 
When 
THRU
 is selected, use the appropriate program 
fader(s) and the master fader.
Move the fader from the left (fully A signal only) to 
the right (fully B signal only) to perform the cross-
fade between the two signals.
Signal flow
The signal flow is therefore:
Note that this is SAMP1 
for the ASSIGN A control
Incoming signals are 
assigned to programs
Programs (and samplers) 
are assigned to the 
cross-fader A and B 
signals
Programs (and 
samplers not 
assigned to the 
cross-fader) go 
straight to the 
master, together 
with the mic
The cross-fader 
determines the A and B 
levels sent to the master
The master outputs 
(what your audience 
hears)
