START/STEP Button
If the SPEED control is in the HOLD position then the «START/STEP» button will advance the
current Effect sequence one step for every press of the button. If the SPEED control is in any
other position then pressing the «START/STEP» button will have a different use. In this instance
when the button is pressed the current Effect will be held. This is confirmed by the SPEED LED
being lit continuously. The blackout will be enabled (the on/off LED will go off), and the Effect will
be reset to it's first step.
A Second press of the button will restart the Effect from the beginning and remove the blackout.
If whilst the Effect is held the «ON/OFF» button is pressed instead of the «START/STEP» button
then the chase output will be turned on but the chase would remain held.
Level Control
The LEVEL control regulates the output level from the Effect section.
If the «ON/OFF» button has been pressed then this control makes no difference to the visible
output of the desk.
ON/OFF Button
All the «ON/OFF» buttons on the desk have the same basic effect.
They remove the effect of their associated section from the output on the stage, whithout effecting
the processing of that section, i.e. in the Effect section if the «ON/OFF» button is pressed then
the sections effect on the stage output is lost but the chase sequence will continue. A press of
the «ON/OFF» button is confirmed by it's LED going out, another press of the button will reverse
this action. To confirm, when the LED is OFF then the on/off is in operation, i.e. no output from
that section will reach the stage. All «ON/OFF» buttons act with a toggle action, i.e. one press
for ON, the next press for OFF, press again for ON…
Direction Button
This button (shown as two arrow heads) has two LED's associated with it. One indicates a right
to left (BACKWARDS) direction, the other a left to right (FORWARDS) direction.
Pressing the direction button will cause the current Effect to travel from left to right (FORWARDS
LED lit). Another press will cause the Effect to travel from right to left (BACKWARDS LED lit). A
further press will cause the Effect to «bounce», to travel alternately backwards then forwards
(both LED's are lit). Pressing the key will cycle through these three options.
Selecting a Chase Pattern via the button MODE and the flash keys
To select a chase pattern directly, use the button MODE and one of the individual channel flash
keys simultaneously.
Example: Selection of chase pattern 7:
push MODE button and flash button 7 simultaneously.
Remark:
As TANGO 24 only offers 24 faders, the chase patterns 25 (random) and 26 (memories 900-
999) have to be selected via the menu (see next page).
