EDIT THE CHANNELS LEVELS OF A STEP
If the step is a snapshot or a scene you can edit the channel levels of the step.
NOTE: If the step that you are editing is a scene, the channel levels in the original scene are edited,
not just the step. Likewise, if you edit the actual scene, the changes will also be seen in the step of
the stack that contains that scene.
To edit the channel levels of a step in a stack, first edit the stack (above) then
step through the stack using the [
<
] or [
>
] buttons below the edit wheel to select the step to be
edited. The display shows the step number, type of step (Scn (Scene), Chs (Chase) or SNAP) and
its name.
Repeatedly press [function] until the “level” LED lights and the display reads “Pick Channel to edit”.
To see the level of any channel, press;
[F/A] (channel number).
Whilst the channels F/A button is held down, the display shows the channel number.
When the F/A button is released, the display shows the level of that channel in the step.
To edit the level of the selected channel, rotate the EDIT wheel.
If the level is varied
above
its recorded value it is prefixed by a + sign. When a parameter is
varied
below
its recorded value it is prefixed by a - sign. If the level is restored to its original
value no sign is shown.
Press and release further channel F/A buttons to read and/or edit their levels.
NAMING EACH STEP IN A STACK
To name a step in a stack, first edit the stack (above) then step through the stack using the [
<
] or
[
>
] buttons below the edit wheel to select the step to be named. The “step” LED is lit and the display
scrolls the step number.
Press and hold [function], tap [F/A] (name), a yellow bank function button.
The display says “Edit Step Name”.
The default name is automatically deleted or the existing name is shown and the blinking cursor on
the display is ready for you to enter characters. Either rotate the edit wheel or press the yellow bank
[F/A] buttons for the desired characters as labelled below the buttons. On the S & M models where
several characters are printed below each button, multiple presses select the next character in a
similar fashion to mobile telephone buttonpad. Press [<] or [>] to move the cursor and press
[remove] or [add] to remove or add characters or spaces. Names may be up to 15 characters long.
When finished, press [ok].
