PLAYBACK OF PRESETS
Presets can be played back in one of two ways: a crossfade to a static preset, or an autofollow of all ten
presets. A crossfade is a change from the current preset to the newly selected one. The time taken to
fade from the current preset to the new preset is taken from the newly selected preset. Once the fade has
completed, it will remain in that preset (static) until another preset is selected. When the autofollow
method of playback is used, once the fade time of the currently fading preset is completed, the next
preset is automatically selected.
To begin a crossfade between presets, momentarily press the preset select button of the preset you wish
to play.
To begin autofollow of all ten presets, press and hold the preset select button of preset number 1
(approximately 5 seconds) until all the LEDs flash once. Once the fade time of a preset is complete, the
next preset will be selected automatically. When preset number 10 (OFF) has been reached, the next
preset to be selected will be preset number 1.
To exit autofollow, momentarily press any preset select button.
Note:
If a static preset is playing at the time power is lost, the
Preset 10
will return to that preset when
power is restored. The fade time will begin with all 512 channels at 0% and fade up in the time
recorded to that preset.
If the
Preset 10
was in autofollow playback at the time power was lost, the
Preset 10
will resume
autofollow playback beginning with preset number 1.
To bypass unused presets in autofollow mode, set the crossfade time for those presets to 999
seconds. This means the longest autofollow fade time is 998 seconds.
PRESET NUMBER 10 (OFF)
– SPECIAL FUNCTION
When the levels stored in preset number 10 (OFF) are
all zeros
, a special function is enabled. When preset
number 10 (OFF) is selected and the crossfade has completed, the
Preset 10
will stop sending DMX512.
By ending DMX512 transmission, many moving lights and dimming systems will enter their standby mode.
This feature can be disabled by recording any non-zero level on any channel into preset number 10 (OFF).
