maXim Operator Manual Quick Start Tutorial

Scene R1.01 uses the IN and OUT time faders as its time sources for fades. Scene R1.02 has
recorded fade times. To crossfade from scene R1.01 to scene R1.02, quickly fade up red Playback
2, whilst at the same time fading down red Playback 1. Scene R1.02 ignores the Time fader
settings and uses its own recorded fade times.
Notice that Playback F/A buttons flash whilst a timed fade is in progress.
The maXim also provides the following facilities when working with scenes;
• The channel levels and the fade times in a scene may be edited (modified).
• Scenes may be copied to other Playbacks and /or banks/pages and to or from the Grab master.
For descriptions of these operations, see the “SCENES” and “GRABMASTER” chapters.
5.5 RECORDING A CHASE
Each step of a chase consists of either a previously recorded scene or a snapshot of the maXim
output.
For simplicity, record a 6 step chase consisting only of snapshots. Make step 1 channel 1, step 2
channel 2, etc. etc. Record it in red Playback 12 using the following steps. Press
[record chase]
[F/A] (red 12)
Fade up channel 1 only on the output for the first step of the chase then press;
[record scene]
Fade up channel 2 only on the output for the next step of the chase then press;
[record scene]
Continue to create and add steps until all desired steps have been recorded, then press;
[record chase]
You can use this chase to experiment with the various ways of playing a chase as described below.
5.6 REPLAYING A CHASE
The red bank must be in Scene mode to replay chases. When you select scene mode or change
red pages in Scene mode, the chases (and/or scenes) in the selected red page are assigned, in
order, to their respective red Playbacks.
When you change blue pages the chases (and/or scenes) in the selected blue page are assigned,
in order, to their respective blue Playbacks.
To replay a chase on the red bank, ensure that you are in Scene mode and that the Red master is
up. To reveal the chase, fade up its Playback .
CONTROLLING A CHASE
You may change the way that a chase is playing (Rate, Mode, Direction, and Fade) by either
“selecting” the playback or “editing” the chase.
SELECT PLAYBACK
To control a chase on a playback, press, [select], [F/A] (playback to be controlled).
To control the RATE, rotate the edit wheel. The rate is shown on the display in BPM (Beats Per
Minute).
To STOP the chase press, [step/stop]
To manually STEP the stopped chase press; [step/stop]
To RUN the chase choose either, [>] (Forward) or [<] (Reverse)
When finished controlling, press, [select] [no].
The changes you have made are retained in the playback until you change pages, but the original
chase memory remains unaltered.
The maXim also provides the following facilities when working with chases;
• Chases may be run in “Bounce” mode or as “Single Shot” chases.
• The transition between steps may be set as a crossfade.
• The channel levels in each step may be edited (modified).
• Steps may be inserted or deleted.
• Chases may be created or run on the Grab master.
• Chases may be copied to other banks/playbacks/pages and to or from the Grab master.
• Chases may be used as steps in a stack.
For descriptions of these operations, refer to the “CHASES” chapter.
