• PRESET mode. The Red bank of faders control the levels of channels 1 to 12 (24). (A duplicate of the
Yellow preset).
• WIDE Preset mode. The Red bank of faders control the levels of channels 13 (25) to 24 (48). (The high
channels).
• SCENE mode. The Red bank of faders become SUBMASTERS. Each Submaster can control the level of a
recorded Scene or Chase or it may be empty (does nothing). There are 9 pages of memory for the
Submasters and the function of each submaster depends upon the contents of the currently selected page.
You determine what each page contains when you record (or copy) scenes or chases into them.
5. RED PRESET MASTER
• In PRESET mode, it controls the overall level of the Red preset (the low channels).
• In WIDE Preset mode it has no function.
• In SCENE mode it controls the overall level of the Red preset (Scenes or Chases).
6. SOLO/ASSIGN (S/A) KEYS
Below each fader in the fader section is a SOLO/ASSIGN key with an integral red indicator LED.
As their name implies, these are multi purpose keys.
They may be used to:
• SOLO (flash or bump) the contents of their particular fader, be it a channel, chase or a scene. (See also
SOLO level and ADD/KILL key below).
• Run a chase if the chase is in “Single Shot” mode.
• Provide a NUMERIC ENTRY function. When the “number” of a channel, scene, chase, etc needs to be
entered, the appropriate Solo/Assign key “number” is pressed. To assist you in making a selection, valid
keys will flash when an entry is required.
• In conjunction with the FUNCTION key, select various secondary functions such as PRINT, 1:1 PATCH etc
as indicated below the RED S/A keys.
NUMBERING
Between each fader in the Yellow fader bank and its associated S/A key is a number that indicates the
channel that the fader and S/A key control.
Between each fader in the Red fader bank and its associated S/A key are two numbers;
• In PRESET mode the
LARGER font indicates the channel number of the fader and S/A key.
• In WIDE Preset mode the
SMALLER font indicates the channel number of the fader and S/A key.
• In SCENE mode the
LARGER font indicates the number a particular SCENE or CHASE.
• The
SMALLER font also indicates channel numbers when editing scenes or chase steps, when viewing
channel levels on the SOLO/ASSIGN key LED indicators (refer below) or when “Softpatching”.
The LED indicators in each S/A key are also multi purpose.
CHANNEL LEVEL INDICATORS:
The brightness of each indicator is proportional to the level of its channel. The yellow bank indicates the level
of the low channel numbers and the red bank indicates the level of the high channel numbers (printed in the
SMALLER font).
• In normal operation, they indicate the level of their particular channel at the output of the Atom.
• In Preview mode they indicate the level of their particular channel in the Scene, Grab or Step of a Chase
that is being previewed.
VALID ENTRY KEY INDICATORS:
When you are required to make a numeric entry or Secondary Function selection, only valid keys will be active
and their LED indicators will light to indicate to you that an entry is required.
FADE IN PROGRESS INDICATORS:
The indicator for with each Submaster (Scene mode) flashes slowly whilst a timed fade is in progress.
7. PRESET MASTER SOLO/ASSIGN KEYS
Used to SOLO (flash or bump) the contents of their particular master. (See also SOLO level and ADD/KILL key
below). The brightness of their LED indicators shows the level of the master at the output of the Atom. It also
will flash slowly whilst a timed fade is in progress.
8. GRAB MASTER
Controls the overall level of the contents of the Grab master. This may be a Grab, a Scene or a Chase.
