Jester Operating Manual Preset Mode
6 of 52 Jester Manual 73-403-00 Issue 3.2
Preset Mode
When the desk is in PRESET Mode all the memory functions are disabled, offering a
completely manual control system. The desk can be operated using either two 12
(24) channel presets controlling 12 (24) channels, or a single preset controlling 24
(48) channels. In Two Preset operation, separate scenes are set up on PRESET A
and PRESET B using the individual channel faders. The A MASTER and B MASTER
faders are used to crossfade between the two scenes.
With wide mode selected (13-24 active on the bottom bank, PAGE B) it is still
possible to crossfade between two scenes. The first scene is set up on the PRESET
A and PRESET B faders and is stored in the desk temporarily using the yellow
PROGRAM/GO (Store) button. Once stored, another scene can be set up on the
PRESET A and PRESET B faders.
The A MASTER and B MASTER faders are used to crossfade between the stored
scene and the scene on the PRESET faders. Crossfades between scenes can be
manual or timed. As with all operating modes of the desk, overall output is under the
control of the GRAND MASTER.
PRESETS A AND B
There are 12 (24) PRESET A faders which control individual channels 1 -12 (1 - 24) and 12 (24)
PRESET B faders which control individual channels 1 -12 (1 - 24) or channels 13 - 24 (25 - 48) if the
faders are switched to wide mode.
CHANNEL FLASH BUTTONS
There are 24 (48) CHANNEL FLASH buttons corresponding to the 12 (24) PRESET A and 12 (24)
PRESET B faders. These are used to flash individual channels. These buttons can be disabled on the
LCD, or switched to SOLO mode.
A MASTER AND B MASTER
In two preset mode, the A MASTER controls the output level from the PRESET A faders and the B
MASTER controls the output level from the PRESET B faders. In wide mode, the A MASTER and B
MASTER faders control the output level from both the PRESET A and PRESET B faders, and the
stored scene. The B MASTER is reversed (100% at the bottom of its travel) to facilitate manual
crossfades when moving the A MASTER and B MASTER in tandem.
FADE TIME
The FADE TIME control is used to determine the fade time when crossfading between scenes. The
control can be set to Manual or to a time between 1 second and 5 minutes. This time is indicated on
the LCD screen and monitor. The red FADING light above the FADE TIME control flashes when a
crossfade is taking place.
PROGRAM/GO
The PROGRAM/GO button is used in wide mode as a STORE button. This button is used to control
which master (A MASTER or B MASTER) has control of the PRESET faders, and which master has
control of the stored scene. The accompanying lights on the front panel indicate the current state (A
FADERS, B STORED or B FADERS, A STORED).
