Assigning values for mixed steps
Mixed steps parameters are divided into discrete steps with continuous control between the
steps.
Example: GoldenScan’s dimmer control channel controls both the dimmer and the shutter
(strobe). Spark controls this as 2 mixed steps; step 1 and step 2 controls the strobe. The
continuous control within step 1 controls the dimmer and the continuous control within
step 2 controls the strobe rate.
Mixed steps are displayed in #.# format; step 1 at 60% is 1.6, step 2 at full is 2.f. The
number after the decimal point represents the percentage of the step; each step has a range
from 0 to full.
The [STEP UP] and [STEP DN]
keys move from step to step. Within each step there is
continuous control via the parameter wheel.
Assigning a mixed step value using the numeric keypad
Example: assign step 2 at full to Golden Scan’s color wheel parameter (p2).
