The easiest way to test this is to activate a chase (by using a preset B fader), then place one of the cannels
in BLIND. Now you can adapt the intensity by using the preset A fader. This channel will not follow the chase
anymore. However, the FULL-ON button will still activate the channel.

To place the channel back in normal mode:

Press and hold the

<HOME>

button

Press and release the

<Preset A x>

button

Release the

<HOME>

button

Preset B

To disconnect the channels 13 to 24 from the preset B scenes/chases:

Press and hold the

<BLIND>

button

Press and release the

<Preset B x>

button

Release the

<BLIND>

button

The level will only be determinated by using the preset B fader, master A fader and the flash buttons.

You can set the intensity of the channel by using the preset B fader. The preset B fader will not be linked
anymore to its stored scene/chases.

To place the channel back in normal mode

Press and hold the

<HOME>

button

Press and release the

<Preset B x>

button

You will notice that the Preset B fader is directly used to activate the programmed
scene/chase. That’s why it is better to place the de Preset B fader in the lowest position,
before to activate the normal mode

SINGLE CHASE

De single chase mode is useful to create quickly different chases.

When Single chase (indicate with the PARK button) is activated, the CMX24 will create chase, based on all
the preset B faders that are not set to zero. Each preset B fader will be activated till all the fader positions are
shown. Then, the next preset B fader will be shown.

In this text, we consider that all the preset B faders in output 1 have a scene (1 to 6) or a chase (7 to 12)
stored.

Place the controller in Single Chase mode:



Bring all the Preset A and B faders to the lowest position



Be sure that the Chase/Scenes mode is activated



Press and release the

<PARK>

button on top of the Master B fader



The [SINGLE CHASE] Led on top of the {FADE} fader must be lit, if it is not, you will have to
press again the

<PARK>

button

To have a clear view of the effect you should first place the {FADE} fader in highest position and move the
{SPEED} fader till the display shows [1.05] (1,05 second).

Bring the preset B faders 1 to 4 to their highest position. Now you see a chase, composed of 4 scenes that
are stored in the faders. You can set the speed by using the {SPEED} fader, the

<STEP>

button and the

<TAP SYNC>

button. By moving the preset B faders you can modify the chase. Try also to activate the

preset B 7 to 12 faders.
Like this you can quickly create several chases by combining scenes/chases that are stored in the preset B
faders.

Notice:



If the preset B fader includes a speed setting (stored with REC SPEED), it will not be used.



You can reverse the chase direction of the preset B faders with the REV ALL, REV ONE,
CHASE REV and BEAT REV buttons, but you can not reverse the global chase, this one always
goes from preset B 1 to preset B 12



Sometimes it looks like if the chase includes extra steps. You have to be sure that the preset B
faders are set to zero. Control this with the display.



Pressing the flash buttons of the preset B faders will add presets to the chase, sop you will have
to wait till the chase activates the preset
