MIKADO USER MANUAL

User Manual - page 11
Issue 1.0
As in Preset mode, you can "balance" the look that you are creating by adjusting the
intensities of the individual channels with their channel faders. You may fade this "look" up
and down with the A Master and of course, you may use the CROSSFADE rotary fader to set
the fade time.
ADVANTAGE
You have access to all of the channels that are available on the MIKADO. This is most useful
when you are recording Memories as you can utilise all channels to create your Memories.
(See "Memory Mode" below).
DISADVANTAGE
You do not have a second Preset on which to create the next look. You can perform
crossfades to another "look" by utilising the Grab Master as a "phantom" bank - see Section
10.4
4.4 Memory MODE
Selecting Memory mode only changes the operation of the Preset B. In Memory mode the
faders of the Preset B become Submasters containing Memories or Chasers.
Memories and Chasers can be recorded or edited whilst operating in any of the three modes
but the Preset A may only be used to replay Memories and Chasers in Memory mode
ADVANTAGE
During rehearsal (in any mode), each lighting look can be created and "recorded" into a
Memory, (with its own fade time if required). During the performance (in Memory mode), the
submaster containing each Memory is simply faded up when required. The MIKADO
remembers (in non-volatile memory) all the channels and their levels together with the fade
times for all of the Memories. You may also use the Submasters (Preset B) to play Chasers
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.
4.5.1 MASTERS
When a A, B 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.
4.5.2 SUBMASTERS
When the MIKADO is in MEMORY mode, the submaster faders are used to submaster
Memories or Chasers that you have recorded in them.
