CHASES
EDITING CHASES
To edit a chase that has already been recorded, press “record” followed by “chase”. Before
making any channel changes, press the number of the chase that you want to edit. The message
“Edit this existing Chase?” will appear in the display. Press “yes” and the chase will be called up and
you can add to it or modify it by selecting steps and changing any channel levels. You can also use
the “erase” switch to remove the contents of the current step or if the step is empty, remove the
step entirely. You can also insert additional empty steps at the current step by pressing “add”. You
will be prompted whether or not to add an empty chase step here. Press “yes” to insert a step at the
current step number. All following chase steps will be moved up one number. Once the new step is
added you can record channel levels or presets there.
After you have finished editing the chase you can store it at the same memory location or at a new
location by selecting a page and by pressing a number switch. You can also use this method to
copy a chase to another location by saving it without making any changes.
FACTORY CHASES
When you select chase page “FC” (factory chase) you can select from a list of 48 preprogrammed
pan and tilt chases. Some hard to program effects such as circles and figure eights can be found
here. Unlike chases that you program yourself, you must first select the fixtures you want included in
the chase.
One of the setup menus lets you edit the pan or tilt center for each of the factory chases. This can
be helpful if you need to move the center of one of the many circle effects. First select the circle
chase that is closest to the size and location that you want and then while it is running use the setup
menu “adjust factory chases” to move the center. Be aware that this will affect any scene that uses
this factory chase.
AUDIO SWITCH
The audio switch enables the audio input as a trigger for chase steps. Pressing the “audio” switch
turns on its LED. It will flash off briefly whenever an audio beat is detected at the audio input. Any
chases that are running will sync to this beat unless the speed has been locked for that chase. Read
the previous section on recording chases regarding how to lock the chase speed. Turning on
“audio” will automatically turn off “beat”. The audio switch state is not stored with a scene.
BEAT SWITCH
The beat switch allows you to override the tempo or beat of a chase by tapping on the switch in time
to any music that is playing. The LED will flash in time to the beat that is tapped in. Any chases that
are running will sync to this beat unless the speed has been locked for that chase. Read the
previous section on recording chases regarding how to lock the chase speed. Pressing the “beat”
switch will automatically turn off “audio”. To turn off the beat, press and hold the “beat” switch for
one second. The “beat” switch state and beat tempo are not stored when recording a scene.
