4.6 MEMORY RUN
The MEMORY RUN mode is used to playback the previously recorded Scenes and Chases. The
MINIM must also be in SCENE mode, so the Red Bank faders are acting as Playbacks for the
stored memories. For memory based shows, this configuration (“scene” and “run”) is the common
playback mode.
4.7 MEMORY PREVIEW
MEMORY PREVIEW mode is used to preview previously stored memories without revealing them
on the output. The contents of a previewed Scene or Chase is shown on the F/A channel buttons
including any associated times and speeds. Normal playback of Scenes or Chases is still
maintained whilst in PREVIEW mode.
To preview a memory, press [MEMORY] until the preview LED lights then press [F/A] (memory
to preview). To see which memory locations have been used, tap [PAGE] to select the required
page then press and hold
[PAGE].
The playback flash/assign buttons containing Scenes will light,
Playbacks containing Chases flash quickly and empty Playbacks are not lit.
When you press any RECORD button or change MEMORY to “preview” or “edit” mode, all
Playback flash/assign buttons flash twice (to show that they are possible memory locations), then
they show their contents as above. If you change pages whilst in “record”, “preview” or “edit”
modes, the contents of each page is shown.
4.8 MEMORY EDIT
The MEMORY EDIT mode is very similar to the MEMORY PREVIEW mode, except that the
contents of the memory can now be altered. EDIT mode allows you to adjust channel levels and
fade times in Scenes (see Section 5.5) and to adjust all Chase parameters including the adding or
deleting of steps (see section 6.5).
4.9 MODE/PAGE FREEZE
A MODE/PAGE FREEZE feature prevents the contents of a live fader from being changed if its
level is above 5% when a MODE (preset/wide/scene) or PAGE (one/two/three) is changed.
The current contents of any “live” fader is held until such time as that fader is faded down below 5%
when it will be automatically updated with its pending assignment for the new mode or page. This
prevents Scenes, Chases or channels “crashing in” on stage if their fader is contributing to the
output when a different mode or page is selected.
Whenever there is a pending Scene, Chase or channel change due to a MODE change or PAGE
change, the relevant MODE “LED” indicator (preset, wide or scene) or the relevant PAGE “LED”
indicator (one/two/three) will flash. This acts as a warning to you that the flashing mode and/or
page is not currently selected but it is contributing to the current output. Therefore, the contents of a
fader on the Red Bank may change (to the current mode or page) after it is faded down.
4.10 FADER MATCHING/CAPTURE
As you change Memory Modes on the MINIM (run/preview/edit) the CROSSFADE and SPEED
rotary faders can be changed without affecting other modes. For example, if you are in Run Mode
and the speed is set to 999, then you edit another Chase and rotate the speed to zero without
changing the speed of the running Chase. Therefore when you return to Run Mode the fader is no
longer active, as it is not set to the original 999 level. ‘Matching’ is used to get control back without
any sudden jump in level.
If a rotary fader is not active (Eg. Requires level matching to activate), then the LED indicator will
not be lit. Rotate the fader clockwise/counterclockwise until you match the level, the LED will light
or start flashing to indicate that the fader has captured the level and is now in control.
