SHOWS
EDITING SHOWS
To edit a show that has already been recorded, press “record” followed by “show”. Instead of
entering steps for a new show, press the show number of the one you want to edit. The message
“Edit this existing Show?” will appear in the display. Press “yes” and the show will be called up and
you can add to it or modify it by selecting steps and changing any value. You can use the erase
switch to remove a step. You can also insert additional steps by pressing “add”. You will be
prompted whether or not to add an empty show step here. Press “yes” to insert an empty show step
at the current step number. All following show steps will be moved up one number. After the empty
step is added you can record a scene or time value there.
After editing, a show can be saved at the same or at a new location by pressing any number switch.
You can use this method to copy a show to another memory location by calling it for edit and then
saving it without making any changes. Please note that the “scene” LED must be turned off before
you can save the show.
PREVIEW
Preview mode lets you see the name of a scene, preset, chase or show before calling it. When the
“preview” LED is lit, the display will first show the page and number as well as the name of the
selected item without calling it. The “go” switch is then used to call that item. The “go” LED will light
up when a valid item is selected and ready to be called.
Calling scenes using preview mode gives you some additional options. 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, 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. You can only call scenes, not presets, chases or shows using an external
keyboard.
You can also use the “F1 – F7” keys on the external keyboard to call the top row of function
switches (fixture, fixture group, preset, etc.)
