When all steps have been recorded, complete the stack by pressing;

NAMING A STACK
Each stack is by default given its bank, page and F/A number as a name. For example, b1:01 (blue
bank, page 1, scene 1).
To enter or change a name;
Press and hold [function], tap [F/A] (name), a yellow bank function button.
The display says “Pick Object to Name”.
Press:
[page] (optional)
[F/A] (stack number)
The default name is automatically deleted or the existing name is shown and the blinking cursor on
the display is ready for you to enter characters. Either rotate the edit wheel or press the yellow bank
[F/A] buttons for the desired characters as labelled below the buttons. On the S & M models where
several characters are printed below each button, multiple presses select the next character in a
similar fashion to mobile telephone buttonpad. Press [<] or [>] to move the cursor and press
[remove] or [add] to remove or add characters or spaces. Names may be up to 15 characters long.
When finished, press [ok].

STACK LEVEL
The OVERALL output level of a stack is controlled by the stack master. The stack
can be manually faded in or out as required or the stack may be flashed via its
[flash/assign] button.
STACK PLAYBACK
When a stack is idle, its output comes from the current step.
The step that will follow this step is called the next step.
When a crossfade is initiated, the stack master performs a Dipless Crossfade from the current step
to the next step.
When the stack reaches the end, it will wrap around to the start.
INITIATING A CROSSFADE
To crossfade from the current step to the next step, press
[ >] (forward).
