So Fader Bank One addresses channels 1 through 6 on faders 1 through 6. Fader Bank 2 addresses
channels 7 through 12 on faders 1 through 6. Fader Bank 3 addresses channel 13 through 18 on
faders 1 through 6. Fader Bank 4 addresses channels 19 through 24 .
The display will give you the information about what fader bank and fader you are moving at any time. So for
example if you are in fader bank 3 and move fader 3 to the top of its travel then the display will read as follows:-
FADER BANK 3
CHANNEL 15 100%
Consult your fixture manual for a description of what each channel does. Care must be taken when dealing
with a fixture that has a control channel. Control channels usually turn on and off the lamp and also have
a default setting. It is important to obey any default setting requirements.
NOTE: at all times the pan and tilt are “on” the joystick no matter what Fader Bank is active.
When creating a new cue from scratch, always start by pressing "Black". This will zero all channels at the start of
the programming process. Next select fixtures as described in the preceding paragraphs. Use the joystick and
control faders to program the fixtures that are to be used in the cue. Once the look has been established, store
the cue in memory by pressing "Enter", then "Cue", the following message will be displayed:
ENTER CUE _
XFADE 00.0 SEC.
Next use the "Xfade Speed" fader to set the crossfade time for this cue. This will establish the speed at which
the fixtures will crossfade to this new cue when called. Set this to 0 for the fastest possible movement. Next use
the numbered keyswitches to select a cue number from 1 - 225 to store this cue to. It is not necessary to enter 3
digits. If for example you are saving cue 1, you only need to press keyswitch 1. Finally press "Enter" to store the
cue. If a cue has already been saved at this location you will be prompted with the following display:
CUE 001 EXISTS,
ENTER OR CHANGE
Press "Enter" to write over the old cue or you can select a new number and then press "Enter" to save it at a
different location. Once the cue has been saved the display will read:
CUE 001 SAVED
Recalling Cues
Once cues have been stored in memory they can be directly recalled by pressing "Cue". The display will read:
NEXT CUE _
Select the desired cue number (1 - 225) using the keyswitches. Press "Go" to call the cue. A bar graph will
appear in the lower half of the display if there is a crossfade and will show the progress of the fade. Also the
next consecutive cue number will automatically be displayed. This will allow you to press "Go" again without
