17.2.2 Flash releases stack
When set to Yes releasing the Flash button releases the Cue Stack and sets the level of the Playback to 0%.
When set to No pressing the Flash button sets the level of the Playback to 0% but does not release the Cue Stack.
Note that if the option Fader Activates Stack is set to Yes then releasing of the Playback is also dependent on the fader. If the
Playback was activated by raising the fader then pressing the Flash button will not release the Playback. In this case the Playback
will only be released by lowering the fader to 0% or by pressing the Rel button. This allows the Flash button to be used both to
bump in a Cue which was not activated by fader, and to also bump a Cue to 100% which was activated by the fader at a lower
level.
17.2.3 Flash always swaps
When set to Yes, pressing the Flash button will always act as a Swap rather than an Add, regardless of the state of the Add/Swap
button. When the button is pressed the Intensity of all other active Playbacks will be set to 0%. When the button is released the
other Playbacks will be restored to their previous level.
When this option is set Yes then the LED in the Flash button will always be red.
17.2.4 Flash acts as Go/Pause
When set to Yes, pressing the Flash button acts as if the Go button had been pressed and pressing Shift + the Flash button acts as
if the PAUSE button had been pressed. When set this way the button does Not act as a bump button.
When set to No the Flash button acts as a bump button in the normal way.
Holding Shift and pressing Flash will perform Pause instead of Go.
When set to Yes the settings “Flash activates Stack”, “Flash releases Stack” and “Flash toggles” are ignored.
17.2.5 Flash acts as Flash + Go
When set to Yes the Flash button acts as both a Flash button and a Go button.
Pressing the Flash button performs the Go function – this will active the Cue Stack, or if the Cue Stack is already active, it will
Go to the next step. At the same time the Flash button will operate in the Normal way, setting the Playback level to 100%.
Releasing the Flash button will set the Playback level back to 0% or if the fader is raised to the leve l of the fader.
Holding SHIFT and pressing the Flash button will perform Flash + Pause.
Normally when “Flash acts as Flash + Go” is set Yes then the setting “Flash Releases Stack” should be set to No. If the option
“Flash Releases Stack” is set to Yes then releasing the Flash button will also release the Playback unless the fader is raised.
When set to Yes, the setting “Flash acts as Go/PAuse” is ignored.
17.2.6 Flash toggles
When set to Yes the Flash button acts as a toggle rather than a bump. Pressing the button the first time activates the Playback.
Pressing the button again releases the Playback.
When this option is set and the playback is active the LED in the Flash button Flashes to indicate the toggle mode is latched.
When set to Yes, the settings “Flash activates Stack” and “Flash releases Stack” are ignored.
17.2.7 Flash acts like fader
When set to Yes the Flash button has the same effect as if the fader has temporarily been raised to 100%. This is useful for
enabling the FLASH button to control attributes other Intensity. For example if the fader is set to control FX size then pressing
the Flash button would act like the fader being fully raised – so 100% FX size.
