Issue 1.0
The submaster flash/assign buttons containing Memories will light, submasters containing
Chasers flash quickly and empty submasters are not lit.
When you press any RECORD button or change MEMORY to "preview" or "edit" mode, all
submaster 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 Memories (see Section 5.5) and to adjust all Chaser 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 (A/B /wide/memory) 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 Memories, Chasers 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 Memory, Chaser or channel change due to a MODE change or
PAGE change, the relevant MODE "LED" indicator (A/B , wide or memory) 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 submaster 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 MIKADO (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 Chaser and rotate the speed
to zero without changing the speed of the running Chaser. 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Mode the fader is no longer active, as it is not set to the original 999 level.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 (E.g. Requires level matching to activate), then the LED
indicator will not be lit. Rotate the fader clockwise/counter clockwise 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.
