Operating Modes:
The Stage Setter 8™ has three different operating modes: 2x8,
8x8, and 1x16. These modes are selected with the Mode Button
(3). The current mode is indicated by the Mode LED (3).
In 2x8 mode, Crossfader X (5) controls the channels 1-8, and
Crossfader Y (6) controls channels 9-16.
In 8x8 mode, the Scene Y (11) channels (9-16) become a set of
Masters Scenes. Each Master Scene channel (9-16) will control
the level of the scenes or patterns created. The Scene X (2) chan-
nels (1-8) operate as normal dimmer sliders.
In 1x16 mode, X Crossfader (5) controls the intensities of chan-
nels 1-16, and Y Crossfader controls the Fade Time. Fade Time
is the amount of time it takes one scene to end and fade in to
the next. Fade Time varies from 1/10 of second (instant) to 10
minutes.
Masters Scenes:
Master Scenes is function that can only be used while in the
8x8 operating mode. When in the 8x8 mode, the Bump Buttons
(10) and the Scene Y (11) sliders can be used to store a Masters
Scene. A Master Scene consist of channels 1-8.
To create a Master Scene:
First, use the sliders in the Scene X (2) section to create a scene.
After you have set your scene, tap the Program Button to enter
the program mode. Once Program mode has been activated, tap
the Bump Button that corresponds to a Scene Y (11) slider that
will be used to store the scene. The scene will now be stored
as a Master Scene into the Scene Y slider and will be ready for
immediate use.
Example:
We will program a into the fifth Master Scene. The scene will
consist of channels 1 and 6 at full, channel 7 at 50% and the
remaining channels fully off.
