• If the fader lever is moved in the direction away from the lit LEDs, this 
carries out the next transition, over the remaining part of the fader lever 
travel.
• Even in a non-sync state, you can carry out an auto transition by pressing the 
[AUTO TRANS] button. During the auto transition, the indicators show the 
transition progress in the usual way, but when the transition completes, they 
once again indicate the non-sync state.
Fader Lever Operation in Bus Fixed Mode
In the bus fixed mode there is a fixed relationship between the position of the 
fader lever and the signal output on each bus. Depending on the direction of the 
transition, the fader lever must therefore always be moved in a particular 
direction, as shown in the following table. This does not affect an auto 
transition, which is executed regardless of the fader lever direction.
For an overview of the bus fixed mode, see “Flip-flop mode and bus fixed 
mode” (page 43).
Fader lever operating direction in bus fixed mode
Manual transition completed as auto 
transition when moving the fader 
lever upward: Top two LEDs light.
Manual transition completed as 
auto transition when moving the 
fader lever downward: Bottom two 
LEDs light.
Once the fader lever is moved 
to this position, the non-sync 
state ends, and the next 
transition (direction shown by 
the arrow) is possible.
