4.5.3 MEMORIES
When a Memory 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 Memory.
When the Memory is played back, the submaster 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 Memory. When the Memory is played back, the recorded time is used
by the submaster fader. The CROSSFADE rotary fader will have no control during
submaster of the Memory.
4.5.4 CHASERS
When a Chaser 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
Chaser. When the Chaser 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 Chaser. When the Chaser is played back, the recorded time is used
to crossfade between steps. The CROSSFADE rotary fader will have no control
during the submaster of the Chaser.
• If the SPEED rotary fader is set to zero, no SPEED is recorded in the Chaser. When
the Chaser 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 Chaser. When the Chaser is played back, the recorded SPEED is used. The
SPEED rotary fader will have no control during the submaster of the Chaser.
If a submaster contains a Chaser, then the submaster fader always performs manual fades
of the overall Chaser intensity level. The position of the fader instantaneously sets this level
4.5.5 CHANNELS
All individual channel faders perform manual fades. The position of the fader instantaneously
sets its level.
4.6 MEMORY RUN
The MEMORY RUN mode is used to submaster the previously recorded Memories and
Chasers. The MIKADO must also be in MEMORY mode, so the Submaster faders (Preset A)
are acting as Submasters for the stored memories. For memory-based shows, this
configuration ("memory" and "run") is the common submaster mode.
4.7 MEMORY PREVIEW
MEMORY PREVIEW mode is used to preview previously stored memories without revealing
them on the output. The content of a previewed Memory or Chaser is shown on the F/A
channel buttons including any associated times and speeds. Normal submaster of Memories
or Chasers 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].
