Group
During programming the “fixture” button, which was pushed last, is selected. You can select two or more
“fixtures” by using the GROUP function (
7
). With this function multiple “fixtures” can be selected, for example:
you can change the color of 4 movingheads at the same time.
Hold down the GROUP button (
7
) and at the same time press “fixture” buttons, you want to use together.
The LEDs above these buttons will flash synchronously, this means that these “fixtures” now belong to a
group.
Note: The GROUP button (
7
) only works in program mode.
Black Out
When pushing the BLACK OUT button (
10
) all DMX activities from the moving light are de-activated. The
programs keep on running, but no signal is sent to the “fixtures”.
Conventional Light
Conventional light (parcans, etc) does not need to be patched, because this light only has 1 DMX channel.
The DMX channels for conventinal light start at address 129, because all prior addresses are reserved for
moving lighteffects.
To keep programming and controlling simple, this Stage Control 136 has been devided in 2 parts. The left
side is for moving light effects and the right side is for conventional light.
Programming
Hold down the RECORD button (
15
) for 5 seconds, the green LED will illuminate.
SELECT A SCENE OR CHASE! PAGE01
First press the PAGE button (
32
). Now you can change the PAGE number (
32
) with the UP/DOWN buttons
(
17
&
18
).
Press the SCENE (
28
) or CHASE (
30
) button, which has to be programmed. Set the faders (
38
) to the
desired position. The faders (
41
) have address 129 – 136. These addresses can’t be patched.
When this has been done, you can store the step(s) by pressing the RECORD button (
15
) (a SCENE has
one step, a CHASE has multiple steps).
Exit Record
Press the ESC button (
16
) when all steps have been entered, then press the button again to exit the menu.
Play Scene / Chase
The LEDs of the pre-programmed “scenes” illuminate green. The “scenes” of which the LEDs are off, are not
programmed. Press the button of the “scene” or “chase” you want, to activate it. Press the button again to
deactivate. The LEDs from the “chase” only blink after the chase has been activated/selected. Chases that
haven’t been programmed can’t be selected.
Page (32)
When the PAGE button (
32
) has been activated, you can view the pages of the conventional light effects.
Fade time
It is possible to add a fade time to the steps. In this way you can beautifully fade in/out a “scene”. First leave
the “record”-mode and set the “fade” time with the right “speed-fader” (
39
). Push the FADE+SPEED button
(
36
). When the LED is on, FADE has been selected. Now press the “scene” you want to activate, this scene
will now fade-in. When the LED is off, SPEED has been selected.
Step (33)
When a “chase” is running, all steps can be manually walked through by pressing the STEP button (
33
).
Tap sync (34)
With this function you can press the “chase” speed manually. The speed, with which you press the button, is
the speed of the “chase”. This option is often used when the “chase” has to follow the rhythm of the music.
Stand-by (35)
With this function the Stage Control 136 is set to a stand-by mode. The programs keep on running, but DMX
output for conventional light is off. This function is almost the same as the “blackout” function for moving light
effects.
