8.0 SCENES
8.1 Overview
A SCENE is a recorded snapshot of the Atoms
output
, together with In and Out fade time settings, that is
stored in battery backed up memory.
Scenes are recorded by Page and Scene number. Page numbers are selected with the page key and Scene
numbers are selected with the red S/A keys. Scenes may be randomly recorded into any page and scene
number and at any time, irrespective of the current “MODE” (Preset, Wide Preset or Scene).
Scenes may be created “blind” (not appearing on the output) using the “PREVIEW/EDIT “ function.
Scenes are replayed in Scene mode. When Scene mode is selected, any scenes recorded in the selected
page are automatically assigned to their respective Submaster (1 to 12(24)). If a different page is selected, the
scenes and chases from that page are assigned. A scene may be
copied
onto another Page/Submaster or
onto or from the
Grab
master.
See the “MEMORY STRUCTURE” chapter for more details on “Pages”.
Scene Submaster fade times may come from the Time faders or may be recorded in memory as part of the
scene. Individual IN, and OUT fade times may be recorded for every scene.
8.2 Recording Scenes
The Atom provides a
variable
method of recording scenes. The fastest method takes just 2 keystrokes and
uses the default parameters. The longest method lets you select a different page in memory and also record
separate IN and OUT fade times.
As you record a scene, you may select and set each parameter (Page, IN time and OUT time) for the scene.
You complete the recording by giving the scene a number
(via the Red S/A keys).
You can complete the recording at any time in the process regardless of whether you have set each
parameter or not. If a parameter has not been set, it will be recorded with its default value.
The
DEFAULT
values are;
•
Page
The number on the Page Indicator when [RECORD] (SCENE) is pressed.
•
IN fade time
Controlled by the IN time fader.
•
OUT fade time
Controlled by the OUT time fader.
Rapid Scene Recording
To record a scene with the default settings (above), create the desired look on the output then press;
[RECORD] (SCENE)
[S/A] (Scene number) (Red S/A keys)
The display briefly confirms the recorded Page/Scene number.
General Description
To record a scene, create the desired look on the output then press;
[RECORD] (SCENE)
The Record Scene key flashes and the display asks “Scene no” (Scene number).
The PAGE indicator shows the current page, the PAGE and FUNCTION keys flash to show that they
are active. All Submasters will flash twice to indicate possible choices, then Submasters already
containing scenes in that page will light. (Submasters containing chases flash quickly and empty sub
masters are not lit.) This acts as a warning to you of existing scene (and chase) numbers and unused
numbers in each page.
Page Selection
Repeated presses of the PAGE key will cycle through the 9 pages of memory.
To switch
directly
to a page;
Press and hold [PAGE], tap [S/A] (Page number).
As you select each page, all Submasters will flash twice then indicate their contents as above.
