ACCESSORIES
12. How do I load a cue automatically on a fader?
In the cues Up Time, press [SELECT] and it will display
MANUAL. When the cue is loaded on the fader, it will be as
if you pressed the fader takeover button. Make sure that the
fader handle is at zero, because the fade will jump to the
handle level.
13. How do I record with submaster levels ignored?
Two ways: either use the sequence [RECORD], [3], [EXCEPT],
[ENTER], or change the setup switch Record levels from
Submasters to OFF.
14. How do I do a quick time change on stage?
Press [CUE] or [JUMP]. This will place the cursor on the cue
number of the cue on stage. To change cues either type in a
new number or use the next/last buttons. Cursor or use the
TIME button to move to the times. For example, to change the
cue on stages time to 8: [CUE], [TIME], [8], [ENTER], [ENTER].
15. What is a unit of memory?
It can be a Cue, Group, Submaster, Effect or Macro.
16. Whats the difference between Insert and Merge?
MERGE will load a groups channels if they are higher than the
existing levels, while INSERT will load the channels on top of
any existing levels.
17. Can the wheel control the fade speed manually?
Yes: Press the Time button while in Stage. It will ask which
fader you want to affect. Type a number, then press [ENTER]
(or just Enter if you want all). The fader will now speed up and
slow down according to how you move the wheel.
18. Can I write a macro to select setup options?
Yes: Macros are just a sequence of keyhits. If you can do
something from the keyboard, then you can make a macro to
do it for you.
19. Can a cue action change a patch table?
Create a macro that goes to setup and changes the active
patch table. Then place that macro in a cue.
20. Is there a way to physically clear all of the hardware
memory?
Next to the personality module there is a switch that slides
to the side. On most consoles there is a little window by the
personality module opening. Move this switch to the side
while the power is off. Count to five and move it back. This
will bring the internal RAM to ground, clearing any
information. The console will then boot up with the factory
defaults.
21. Will the MIDI input work with my audio system?
No. The MIDI protocol is intended for use with Richmond
Sound Stage Manager/Show Control applications commonly
used by theme parks and large-scale entertainment venues.
It is not a color organ.
