GENERAL OPERATION OF CONTROLS
CROSS FADERS: The cross fader enables you to fade between the upper (X) faders and the lower (Y) aders.
The cross fade function is split into two parts giving you the ability to control the level of the upper and lower
groups of faders individually. In all modes, the X cross fader must be UP to activate the upper faders and the Y
cross fader must be DOWN to activate the lower faders.
MASTER: The master level fader controls the output level of all functions of the console.
BUMP BUTTONS: The momentary buttons activate channels 1 through 16 while pressed. The master fader
setting affects the level of channels activated by the bump buttons. Bump buttons do NOT activate scenes.
CHASE 1 & 2 BUTTONS: Press to select chase patterns. Chase LEDs will light when a chase is active.
CHASE RATE BUTTON: Press 3 or more times at the desired rate to set chase speed. Chase rate LED will flash
at the selected rate.
BLACKOUT BUTTON: Pressing the blackout button causes all channels, scenes and chases to go to zero
intensity. The blackout LED will light whenever the console is in blackout mode.
RECORD BUTTON: Press to record scenes and chase patterns. Record LED will light when in record mode.
RECORDING CHASES
1 Press the "RECORD" button, the record LED will flash.
2 Press the "CHASE 1" or "CHASE 2" button to select a chase to record to.
3 Use the channel faders to set the channel(s) you want to be on in this step to full intensity.
4 Press the "RECORD" button to save the step and move to the next step.
5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all desired steps are recorded (up to 23 steps).
6 Press the "CHASE 1" or "CHASE 2" button to exit from the chase record mode.
CHASE PLAYBACK
1 Press the "RATE" button 3 or more times at the desired rate to set the chase speed.
2 Press "CHASE 1" or "CHASE 2" to turn chases on and off.
Note: Both chases may be on at the same time. If chases have a different number of steps, complex changing
patterns can be created.
RECORDING SCENES
1 Activate either the "CHAN 1– 16" or "CHAN 17-32" Y mode and create the scene to be recorded by setting the
faders to the desired levels.
2 Press "RECORD".
3 Press the bump button below the Y fader you wish to record the scene to.
Note: Scenes may also be recorded in the "SCENE 1-16" Y mode. This enables you to copy a scene to another
or quickly create modified versions of scenes. Recording occurs even if BLACKOUT is on or the master fader is
down.
SCENE PLAYBACK
1 Select the "SCENE 1-16" Y mode.
2 Bring up a fader on the lower row (Y fader) that has had a scene recorded to it.
