three chases to continue running. (This is similar to activating three chases manually and then trying
to activate a fourth). Specific key commands are as follows;
Press “Enter Macro #”. Then use the -/+ keys to move the cursor to the cue field. Press any number
to toggle from “Cues” to “Chs” and the press “Enter”. Type in the chase number for the first chase.
Press “Enter” two times to leave the Hold time at 000. Repeat the above for the other two chases but
with the last chase, when it comes to the Hold time, type in a value other than 000. After typing in a
Hold time press “Enter”. Use the “+” key to move the cursor to the cue number field and press
“Black” to enter a black-out command. Press “Enter” to set the Hold time. This can be left at 000 to
turn off the previous chases and immediately proceed to the next step. Continue to write the rest of
the macro as normal.
Recalling Macros
Once a macro has been stored in memory it can be recalled by pressing "Macro". The display will
read:
SELECT MACRO _
Select the desired macro with the keyswitches then press "Go". The display will read:
MACRO 01 STEP 01
CUE 001 HOLD 010
The display will change as the macro runs with each step of the macro showing the current step and
what is stored there. The hold time will also count down on the display showing the time remaining
until the next step is called. While it is running, you can pause the macro by pressing the "-" key then
continue by pressing "+". "Go" will advance the macro to the next step.
Editing Macros
Once a macro is programmed and stored in memory it can be edited and re-stored at any time. You
can change the cue or chase number as well as the hold time at any step. You can remove steps, add
or insert steps. You can also modify a macro and copy it to a different location, keeping the original
while creating a new one.
To edit a macro, press "Enter" then "Macro". The display will read:
MACRO _ STEP 01
CUE HOLD 000
Use the keyswitches to select the macro that you want to edit. The selected macro will be copied into
an edit buffer where you can make changes to it without affecting the original which will still be
stored in battery backed memory.
