also change chase patterns normally. To activate this function press and 

release the MANUAL STEP (26) while holding down the SHIFT BUTTON 

(16).  The LCD DISPLAY (6)  MANUAL STEP LED will light, indicating

Fade Time Function:

 This function can be operated in any normal 

chase function. This function allows you to control the amount of time it 

takes for one scene to switch off and the next to turn on. Basically one 

scene fades to the next. The amount of fade time varies from instant to 

10 minutes. This function is controlled by the FADE TIME SLIDER (7) and 

only effects the dimmer channels (1-8). When the FADE SLIDER is set 

to zero the amount of time it takes for one scene to fade to the next will 

be instant, when the fader is set to 10, it will take about 10 minutes to 

fade from one scene to the next.  To activate this function move the FADE 

TIME SLIDER (7) up and down during any normal chase function.

Midi Settings: 

This controller can be triggered by any type of MIDI 

device. To use the MIDI function, plug in a standard MIDI controller to the

rapidly. To operate properly the MIDI input channel must match that of 

the controller MIDI receiving channel. The controller’s default MIDI input 

signal is one, you may find it necessary to change this setting if you are 

running several MIDI devices. To adjust the controllers input MIDI signal 

hold down the MIDI CHANNEL BUTTON (27) for two seconds while hold-

ing down the SHIFT BUTTON (16). “CH:01” will appear in the LCD DIS-
