You cannot store a scene beyond the next available 
scene in a bank.  For instance: If the bank has 4 scenes 
in it and you try to program scene 7 then your scene 
will be recorded but it will appear in scene 5. 

 

EDIT A SCENE 

 

You can edit the settings of one or more of the fixtures 
in a scene without re-recording all the fixture settings. 
This process does not apply to the last scene in the 
bank.  If you edit the last scene the results will be a 
new scene. 

 

The process is done in Program mode and is almost 
the same as in described in ADD

 A SCENE TO A 

BANK

.

  When you select the scene it will activate the 

fixtures in it.  You can then alter the settings for a 
fixture and record the scene with the changes.

scenes in a bank.

pushing a SCANNER/SCENES button (1-14). 

 

2.  Push Scene and select the scene which will become 
 

the new scene by pushing a SCANNER/SCENES 

 

button (1-22). For example: If you want to insert a 

 

scene  between scenes 2 and 3 you would select 

 

scene 3.  In other words the new scene will be 

 

inserted before existing scene 3. 

 

3. Push Auto/Insert. 

 

4.  At this point the process is the same as for 
 

RECORD A SCENE.

  Select and set up the 

 

fixtures as desired. 

 

5.  When all fixtures are set - Push Program/Record to 
 

store the inserted scene.  The controller indicators 

 

will flash briefly.

 follows

in the same or a different scene bank.
