3.3 CONTROLLING A CHASE
To control a chase you can either [select] the playback running the chase or [edit] the memory
containing the chase.
“Select” allows you to change the RUN TIME conditions (rate, fade, mode and direction) on the
selected Playback. When you have finished controlling the chase, and you exit “Select” the
maXim asks “Save Changes To Memory?” If you answer “no”, the original memory is not
affected, but the changes that you have made are retained in the Playback until such time as
the Chase is replaced on that Playback (by changing pages or mode). If you answer “yes”, the
changes are also copied to memory.
“Edit” allows you to directly change the memory settings of the chase. In addition to changing
rate, fade, mode and direction you can add or remove steps and edit the contents of each step.
These changes are automatically saved to memory as you edit. If the chase is currently on a
Playback, then these changes are also seen live on that Playback.
