Submaster types
Submasters can be pile-on, inhibitive or effect.
Pile-on submaster
A pile-on submaster consists of channels recorded at proportional levels.
If a pile-on submaster’s channel levels are higher than established channel
levels, the submaster’s levels take precedence (except as noted below).
If they are lower, the established levels take precedence. If a submaster
slider contains a recorded pile-on submaster, the LED glows.
Note: Channel levels set on the keypad and inhibitive submasters both
override pile-on submaster levels.
Inhibitive submaster
An inhibitive submaster holds the output of channels below a specified
level. An inhibitive submaster doesn’t actually set channel levels, it just
prevents them from exceeding a specified level. All Express submasters
may be inhibitive. If a submaster slider contains a recorded inhibitive
submaster, the LED glows.
Effect submaster
An effect submaster has an effect recorded in it. Press an effect
submaster’s bump button or move its slider to start the effect running.
See Chapter 16 Effects, page 197 for more information on effect
submasters. Any submaster may be programmed with an effect. If a
submaster slider contains a recorded effect submaster, the LED glows.
