SCENES
RECALLING SCENES (add mode)
Press and hold the “add” switch when selecting a scene number to play it back in, “add mode”.
In add mode, channels that are not part of the new scene will be left in their current positions
instead of fading to 0 and any chases that were running will keep running as long as the channels in
the chase are not overridden by the new scene. This method of playback allows channels from
previous scenes to track through to the next scene as long as the new scene isn’t using those
channels. This is often referred to as “pile on mode”.
You can turn “add mode” on permanently by holding down the “add” switch when pressing the
“scene” switch to turn on the scene LED. You will not need to press “add” each time you select
a scene if you do this. To turn add mode off, hold the “erase” switch then press the “scene” switch
when turning on the scene LED. The “add mode” state is backed up in memory, so you only need to
set it one time if you intend to always use it that way. You have the option of switching between add
and solo modes for each scene selection if you only press the “add” switch when you select a scene
number.
NOTE: You cannot use add mode to combine scenes and then record the combined scenes as a
new larger scene.
RECALLING SCENES (preview mode)
Preview mode lets you see the name and adjust the fade time of a scene before starting it. The
“go” switch is used to start the scene. Activate preview mode by pressing the “preview” switch
and turning on its LED. In addition to being able to select scenes with the number switches you
can also use an external keyboard, the + or – switches or the wheels to select the page and scene
number or to change the fade time. If you are using an external keyboard to select scenes, move the
cursor on the display using the left or right arrow keys to choose page, scene or fade time. You can
enter numbers from the keyboard and then use the enter key to call the scene. The “go” LED will
light up when a valid scene number has been selected, indicating that the “go” switch is ready to
call the scene.
RECALLING SCENES WITH SCENE MASTER FADERS
The 8 faders can also be used as scene masters. The faders allow manual control of the crossfading
between scenes as well as allowing you to run 8 scenes simultaneously. To use the faders this way,
the “masters” LED and the “scene” LED both must be lit. Scenes 1 through 32 of the currently
selected scene page can then be called using 4 banks of 8 faders. Read the chapter later in this
manual regarding scene masters for more detailed information on how they work.
ERASE SCENE
To erase a scene from the memory, press “record” then “scene” then “erase”. As when recording a
scene, all number LEDs that contain a scene will light. Next select the scene number to erase. That
scene name will appear in the LCD along with the message “Erase this scene?”. Press “yes” or “no”.
If you press “yes” the scene will be erased. You can then select additional scenes to be erased or
you can press “record” to exit record mode.
NOTE: It can take several seconds to overwrite or erase a scene depending on how much
memory is currently used.
