6.0 CHASES
6.1 OVERVIEW
A Chase is a recorded list of steps that are to be replayed in order, stepping continuously from one
step to the next and automatically repeating the list when it has reached the end. Each step in a
Chase consists of a Scene or a snapshot of the output (which is taken when that step is added to
the Chase). Up to 24 steps may be recorded for each Chase and up to 37 separate Chases may be
recorded into the memory. 13 simultaneous Chases can be run at any one time.
Chases are recorded by page and Chase number. Page numbers are selected with the PAGE
button and Chase numbers are selected with the red F/A buttons. Chases may be randomly
recorded into any page and Chase number, however Scenes and Chases share the same memory
locations within each page, so recording a Chase into the F/A of an existing Scene will REPLACE
the Scene with the Chase (and visa-versa). Chases may also be recorded directly into the Grab
Master.
Chase rate and crossfade times can be recorded in memory as part of each Chase.
Chases may be run in any of the following modes;
•
FORWARD
•
REVERSE
•
BOUNCE (Auto reverse at each end)
•
SINGLE SHOT (Run once and stop) (in either direction)
•
RANDOM (computer generated random sequence)
•
MANUALLY STEPPED FORWARD (Ideal for running sequences with an external “GO” button)
•
MANUALLY STEPPED REVERSE
The Chase SPEED (rate) can be manually controlled or recorded into memory in BPM (Beats Per
Minute).
Chase stepping may be synchronised to the beat of an Audio Input signal.
Chase stepping may be under the control of an external switch.
Traditionally, Chases will snap (instantly switch) from step to step but you may also elect to
crossfade from step to step. The crossfade time can be manually controlled or recorded into
memory.
A Chase may be edited. The contents of any step may be changed, the speed varied and steps
may be added or deleted.
