## 100mm Fader

There are twelve different functions there. 

**Important:**\
If the Master of the main executor is replaced by another function, for example Speed Master, the main executor is automatically set to 100 %. This means that all fixtures will automatically go on on stage.

**TempFader:** Crossfades the cue on when pulled up, and off when pulled down on the main executor.

**Master Rate:** Controls the rate of the trig time, fade and delay from all executors which use the master rate. 

**Master Speeds 1-4:** Control the speed of effects in cues and the playback speed of chasers from all executors which use a master speed. 

**Prog Time:** Controls the fade time of the programmer only if it is switched on. 

**Exec Time:** Overrides the cue fade and on /off times and it also sets the cue delay to zero from all executors if it is switched on.
