9. Editing Channels
The console offers 48 or 96 control channels (depending on model) that are accessible from the channel
faders or numeric keypad.
9.1. Grand Master / Blackout Key
The grand master and its blackout key control the total scene output of all channel and fixture levels.
To obtain full channel levels, please make sure to:
1. Move the GM fader to its upper limit.
2. Deactivate the [BLK.OUT] key. LED will be off.
If necessary, edit the dimmer patch at this point. Dimmer patching should always be performed
before editing channels. See
section 18
for more information on patching.
9.2. Using Channel Faders
A channel can be controlled from its associated fader. The fader is used to set the
channel’s level by moving it to any point in its travel (from 0% to 100%). A status LED
located above the fader is lit according to the level of the channel.
The placement of the channels in banks, keypad level editing and use of
channels in playbacks makes it possible that the channel output level and the physical
fader level may be different (see side graphic, channels C2 - C4). In this case, the
fader is “locked” and has no direct control over the level. To take back control, move
the fader to its current output level, it will then unlock (a “beep” is emitted).
Pressing the flash key above the fader will bump the channel level to 100% (FF) for as
long as the key is pressed. When the flash key is released, the channel will return to
its previous level.
9.3. Using the Keypad
The methods below can also be used for selecting and editing fixtures. See
section 15.1

[CHANNEL]: Used to select channels (a single channel or several channels).
[THRU]: Used to select a range of channels.
[@]: Used to enter a numeric level for selected channels.
Encoder : Used to edit a level (in continuous mode) for selected channels.
