Chase
In the console, one chase can be edited with up to 600 steps.
1. Programming a Chase
To program a chase, you have to set up the lighting for each step of the chase, then save it. The content
of the programmer is recorded as a step.
You can either set all the fixtures and dimmers manually for each step, or you can press the Include
button to load the information from scenes you have already recorded.
You cannot use an existing scene as a chase step just by turning it on. You need to use the Include
button to load the scene into the programmer.
01) Press <Chase>.
02) Press the playback button of the playback where you want to store the chase.
03) Set up the lighting for the first step, either manually or by pressing the Include button on existing
scenes.
04) Press the playback button of the playback or press Enter to store the programmer content as step 1
of the chase.
05) Press <Clear>, then repeat from step 3.
06) Once you have finished, press <Chase>, or press <Exit> to exit.
Press <Clear> when you have finished saving the chase. Otherwise, when you try to play it back the
programmer will override the chase and you will not see the chase properly.
The current step number is displayed in the prompt line.
You can record shapes in a chase. If the same shape is saved in subsequent steps it will continue
from step to step, if not, it will stop at the end of the step time. (The console considers the shape to
be the same, if you did not press <Clear> after the previous step, and did not change the speed, size
or spread of the shape from the previous step; or if you Included the shape from the previous step
and have not modified it).
A maximum of 600 steps can be edited in a chase.
2. Running a Chase
Move up a playback fader or press a playback button. The selected chase will be run.
01) Two or more chases can be output simultaneously.
02) All the HTP channels (brightness) of the chases are controlled by faders. The LTP (movement)
channels will implement the chase, according to the fade time.
03) Press <Swop> (indicator on), then you can control a certain chase while other playbacks are
stopped.
3. Connecting a Chase to the Wheels A/B
When running a chase, the playback control will automatically connect to chases.
Press <Connect> and then press the desired playback buttons of chases to set which chase to
connect and which not to play back.
