In other words, if eitherthe ASSIGN A or the ASSIGN B control is set toTHRU, no signal is assigned to go through the cross-fader on that side, and moving the cross-fader to theside with the THRU setting has no effect on that side.When THRU is selected, use the appropriate programfader(s) and the master fader.Move the fader from the left (fully A signal only) tothe right (fully B signal only) to perform the cross-fade between the two signals.Signal flowThe signal flow is therefore:Note that this is SAMP1for the ASSIGN A controlIncoming signals areassigned to programsPrograms (and samplers)are assigned to thecross-fader A and BsignalsPrograms (andsamplers notassigned to thecross-fader) gostraight to themaster, togetherwith the micThe cross-faderdetermines the A and Blevels sent to the masterThe master outputs(what your audiencehears)
