11.4 EDITING A STACK
You may edit a stack live or blind (faded down) on the stack master or directly in its memory
location. If the stack is faded up on stage you will see the changes. If the stack is not live on stage,
its steps are displayed on the channel LED indicators and on the video monitor. You can add or
delete steps, change fade and link times and edit the contents of each step (including channels not
already on in the step).
