The Effect Section
The Effect section of the desk can work in two distinct ways.
Firstly a pre-programmed chase sequence may be selected, the channels over
which the chase runs may be individually selected.
Secondly the Effect section can be used to sequence through the memories
recorded between memory numbers 900 to 999. This provides a very flexible
programmable chase section. Refer to the Chase on memories 900 to 999 section
of this manual.
The Effect section controls work in the same way for either form of operation.
These use is detailed below.
Channel Button
(not used for chase on memories)
This button selects the channels over which the chosen pattern will operate. After
pressing the button the display will request the effect range over which to run the
effect. At this point the manual section LEDs and flash buttons are used to select
which channels are incorporated. Pressing a flash key will toggle that channel
between being in or out of the chase range. If the LED is lit then that channel will
be included. The desk will remember not only which channels to include but in
which order they were selected, i.e. if the flash buttons were pressed in the following
order 1-4-6-2-9-12-10 then the chase pattern would run through the channels in
that order.
This configuration may now be used by pressing the «CHANNELS» button again.
The channel range will not change until the button is pressed.
Speed Control
This control is used to select the step rate of the Effect section output. It's range
covers approximately one step every 0,1 second, at the top of it's travel (MAX.) to
one step every 2 seconds near the bottom of it's travel. If the control is moved to
the very bottom of it's travel, then the chase will be HELD and the output can be
stepped though manuallly using the «START/STEP» button. The LED above the
control will flash in time with the selected chase speed (one flash per step) unless
it is in the manual step mode in which case the LED will be on only while the «
START/STEP» button is pressed.
