You may run any of the built in chase patterns or one of your preset 

chase patterns in four different modes “Audio,” “Speed,” “Glide,” or “Tap 

Sync.” The next section of the manual will detail the proper operation of 

these four modes.

Running a Chase Pattern with the Speed Slider:

This mode will allow to run your patterns according to the speed slider 

adjustment. You may change the speed Slider adjustment at any time 

while the chase pattern is running. Your adjustments to the speed slider 

will affect the chase pattern in real time.

Step 1:

or scene you wish to activate. The select patterns LEDs will 

glow indicating that pattern has been activated.

Step 2:

 

Once you have selected you chase patterns use the speed 

slider to control amount of time it takes the chase to prog-

ress from scene to the next. This adjustment can range from 

the minimum of 1/10 of a second progression to a maximum 

of 10 minutes progression.

Running a Chase Pattern with the Audio Slider:

This mode will allow to run your patterns to the beat of music. You may 

change the Audio Sensitivity at any time while the chase pattern is run-

ning. Your  adjustments  to  the  speed  slider  will  affect  the 

chase pattern in real time.

Step 1:

Press the Audio Button to activate the Audio Mode.

Step 2:

Press the Chase Pattern Button that stores the chase pat-

tern you wish to activate. The chase pattern button’s LED 

will com on indicating that chase has been activated.

vated  by  an  audio  source. This  function  will  only  work  if

rest set to there minimum level.
