ADVANTAGE
During rehearsal (in any mode), each lighting look can be created and “recorded” into a Scene,
(with its own fade time if required). During the performance (in Scene mode), the Playback
containing each Scene is simply faded up when required. The MINIM remembers (in non volatile
memory) all the channels and their levels together with the fade times for all of the Scenes. You
may also use the Red Playbacks to play Chases that you have recorded.
4.5 FADE TIMES
When a timed fade is in progress either from the CROSSFADE rotary fader or from memory, the
F/A LED of the fader will flash.
MASTERS
When a Red, Yellow or Grab Master is moved, the output level of that master will always progress
towards the current physical position of that master at a rate set by the CROSSFADE rotary fader.
For example, if a crossfade time of 3 seconds has been set, then to execute a fade in exactly 3
seconds, the master must be moved from bottom to top in less than 3 seconds. If you take longer
than 3 seconds to move the master, then the fade will keep pace with the fader movement.
A fully manual fade is achieved by setting the crossfade times to 0 seconds. The fade will then
instantly follow the position of the master fader as you move it.
PLAYBACKS
When the MINIM is in SCENE mode, the Red Bank faders are used to playback Scenes or Chases
that you have recorded in them.
SCENES
When a Scene is recorded it looks at the current setting of the CROSSFADE rotary fader.
•
If the CROSSFADE rotary fader is set to zero, no times are recorded in the Scene. When
the Scene is played back, the Red Playback fader is under the live control of the
CROSSFADE rotary fader. It operates in the same manner as the masters described above.
•
If the CROSSFADE rotary fader is set to any value above zero, that exact time is recorded
in the Scene. When the Scene is played back, the recorded time is used by the Red
Playback fader. The CROSSFADE rotary fader will have no control during playback of the
Scene.
CHASES
When a Chase is recorded it looks at the current setting of the CROSSFADE rotary fader and the
SPEED rotary fader.
•
If the CROSSFADE rotary fader is set to zero, no crossfade times are recorded in the
Chase. When the Chase is played back, the crossfade between steps is under the live
control of the CROSSFADE rotary fader.
•
If the CROSSFADE rotary fader is set to any value above zero, that exact time is recorded
in the Chase. When the Chase is played back, the recorded time is used to crossfade
between steps. The CROSSFADE rotary fader will have no control during the playback of
the Chase.
•
If the SPEED rotary fader is set to zero, no SPEED is recorded in the Chase. When the
Chase is played back, the SPEED is under the live control of the SPEED rotary fader.
•
If the SPEED rotary fader is set to any value above zero, that exact speed is recorded in the
Chase. When the Chase is played back, the recorded SPEED is used. The SPEED rotary
fader will have no control during the playback of the Chase.
If a playback contains a Chase, then the Playback fader always performs manual fades of the
overall Chase intensity level. The position of the fader instantaneously sets this level
CHANNELS
All individual channel faders perform manual fades. The position of the fader instantaneously sets
its level.
