Recalling Chases
Once a chase has been stored in memory it can be recalled by pressing "Chase". The display will read:
SELECT CHASE _
Select the desired chase number with the keyswitches then press "Go". The display will read:
CHASE 01 BPM 120
STEP 01 CUE 001
As the chase runs, the display will increment with each step of the chase showing the current step and cue
number. You can adjust the speed and crossfade rate while the chase is running. Pressing "Go" while the chase
is running will advance the chase one step.
Audio Sync
If there is an audio signal present at the audio input jack on the rear panel, you can sync any currently running
chase to it by enabling audio. The chase will try to derive a beat from the bass frequencies and trigger the steps
from it. When the chase is using the audio signal for its speed, the display will show the message "AUD" next to
BPM instead of a number.
Consult the chapter "System Programming" for information on how to enable audio and how to adjust the
audio input level.
Editing Chases
Once a chase is programmed and stored in memory it can be edited and re-stored at any time. You can change
the cue number at a step, you can remove steps, you can add or insert steps, you can change the speed and you
can change the crossfade rate. You can also modify a chase and copy it to a different location while keeping the
original.
NOTE: Whenever you edit a chase you must always store it again, either at the same location or at a new one.
To edit a chase, press "Enter" then "Chase". The display will read:
CHASE _ BPM 120
STEP 01 CUE
Use the keyswitches to select the number of the chase you want to edit. That chase will be copied into an edit
buffer where you can make changes to it without affecting the original which is stored in battery backed
memory.
After the chase has been selected, use the cursor keys to move the underline cursor until it is underneath the
step number. Select the step that you want to edit using the keyswitches. After a step is selected the display will
show the cue that is stored at that step. If you want to change the cue number at that step, move the cursor until
it is underneath the cue number then use the keyswitches to enter a new cue. Press "Enter". The step number
