Universal Fader Wing help

Hello everyone. I run tech support for my church. We are lucky enough to use the auditoium of our local high school. They have the ION system with one Fader Wing. I'm very comfortable using the main ION board. I can create and edit individual cues just fine. Honestly the ION is such a robust sytem. I've learned how to connect the Fader wing and control individual channels with it. My question is, how can I create a cue and drop it in the fader wing so that I can control the entire cue from a fader slider? I know it can be done, earlier in the year the school had a large musical production and they hired an expert to come in and set it up for them. During that time he did exactly what I'm asking. Unfortuantely we were never able to get him to come in and give us some training. Thank you for your time.

    THere a lot of ways to do this.  If you have a cue on stage and wish to record it

    {select Active} [Record] [sub] [1]

    you can then map your sub to whichever fader you desire.

    Worked perfectly.  I created a SUB dedicated to just the lights I wanted to fade. The only issue I have now is when I change the SUB to inhibitive from additive, every light active on the cue reacts to the fader. If I switch back to additive, only the lights I selected when I created to SUB respond. Is it best to create 2 SUB's, one just for additive and one just inhibitive? I do like how the fader only reacts after the preset the cue level is reached, that's handy and keeps from having abrupt lighting changes. Thanks again.

    You *could* edit the sub to make it LTP (Latest Takes Precedence) rather than HTP (Highest Takes Precedence).  Moving the sub fader up will cause the channels to fade to the SUB level, whether those channels need to go up or down to meet their sub level.  However, when programming, I would prefer to have both the additive sub and the inhibitive sub, both HTP.  That way I can always force a light down (because the Inhibitive sub always "wins").  I guess it depends on how many subs you want to deal with.
