GENERAL OPERATION OF CONTROLS
CROSS FADERS: The cross faders provide the ability to fade between the upper (X) faders and lower (Y) faders.
The
cross fade function 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: These momentary buttons activate channels 1 through 8 while pressed. The master fader
affects
the level of channels activated by the bump buttons. The 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 SCENES

down.
