CONTROL CHANNELS
The control section is at the right of the board. This section contains the
individual channel faders, the “A, B, C, I, M” switches, the bump buttons and
output LEDs.
The output LEDs located at the top are directly related to that channels output.
The five position slide switches located beneath the output LEDs select either the
submasters, “A, B, C”, the manual, “M”, or the independent, “I”, as a fader source
for that channel. The momentary switches at the bottom of each channel are for
the bump button operations.
PIN MATRIX
The pin matrix (located in the lower right hand side of the console) is a circuit
board that allows channels to be connected together by the use of diode pins.
This feature will allow the operator to preselect scenes rather then going back
and forth between the “X” and “Y”. The operator will be able to bring up one
preset channel and bring down another to accomplish a crossfade between
scenes.
Horizontally across the top of the pin matrix board are channels 1 thru 24. These
correspond to channels 1-24 in the X-Y scenes. Vertically, on the left side of the
matrix, are numbers 1 thru 12 and these correspond to the preset faders 1-12.
You assign outputs to presets by the use of diode pins, not shorting pins or diode
pins of the wrong polarity.
Example: You have an interesting look in the “X” scene with channels 1, 15, 17,
and 23. You would like to bring them up together with one fader. You open your
matrix lid, take a diode pin and move across the numbers horizontally until you
find #1, you did not have to go far. Then you move down the left side vertically
until you get to preset number 6, this can be any submaster channel. Now put
the diode pin in the location 1-6. Take another diode pin and go horizontally on
the matrix to channel #15, go down vertically to preset channel #6 and insert that
diode pin. You should continue to do this for channels 17 and 23. After you
have finished you will have pins 1, 15, 17, and 23 in the vertical row of preset #6.
If you bring up preset #6, and all other channels down, you will bring up control
outputs #1, 15, 17, and 23. Now you can program the other 11 presets.
