# Fader Bar

There are two fader bars you can add to your switcher pages. The fader operates on the currently selected Mix Effect Bus.

### Horizontal Fader Bar

A virtual transition lever for manually controlling the transition between program and preview buses.

If you run MixEffect on a device that supports haptic feedback, you will be able to feel when you tap and swipe the controller.

> **NOTE**: If you use MixEffect on an iPad with a connected pointing device or an Apple Silicon Mac, you have to keep the cursor on the circular transition lever as you drag it. It is recommended that you use your finger instead of a mouse or trackpad.

### Vertical Fader Bar

> A vertical version of the fader bar panel. This is useful when paired with the Cut/Auto panel and the Haptic Touch setting for a simpler control panel for cutting and transitioning.

### M/E Fader Bar Panels

If you have an ATEM switcher that has multiple Mix Effects Buses, you can add fader bar panels for each individual Mix Effect Bus. They will be listed in the Edit/New Switcher Page section as:

* M/E 1 Fader Bar
* M/E 1 Fader Bar (Vertical)
* M/E 2 Fader Bar
* M/E 2 Fader Bar (Vertical)
* M/E 3 Fader Bar
* M/E 3 Fader Bar (Vertical)
* M/E 4 Fader Bar
* M/E 4 Fader Bar (Vertical)

The normal Fader Bar and Fader Bar (Vertical) panels will operate on the currently selected Mix Effects Bus.
