5.1 DMX Address Allocation [ADDR]
Sets the DMX512 addresses for Redback's
dimmers.
Selecting this menu option displays the current
DMX address of the first dimmer:
D M X 1
If dimmer addresses have been allocated from
the Soft Patch [
SOFTP
] option of the Advanced
Menus the display reads:
P A T C H D
Allocating an address from this menu overrides
the addresses set from the Soft Patch menu.
Levels set by DMX512 control are combined on
a highest-takes-precedence basis with levels
from the internal scene memories, the internal
chaser and the optional MIDI interface.
In Basic operating mode, the dimmers are
automatically allocated sequential addresses
following the start address. (eg. If the start
address is set to 4, then dimmer 1 will be
allocated a DMX address of 4, dimmer 2 will be
allocated an address of 5, dimmer 3 will be
allocated an address of 6, etc).
This menu provides two methods for allocating
the DMX address of the dimmers.
5.1.1 Direct DMX address
Direct DMX mode address allows the address of
the first Redback dimmer to be set to any slot in
the 512 slot DMX universe where all dimmers
can be allocated a valid address (Range 1-501).

5.2 MIDI Address Allocation [MIDI]
Sets the MIDI addresses for controlling
Redback's dimmers.
Dimmers are controlled by Note-On, Note-Off
and Velocity messages for a block of six
adjacent MIDI Notes starting from the Channel
and Note set from this menu.
Levels set by MIDI control are combined on a
highest-takes-precedence basis with levels from
DMX512, the internal scene memories and the
internal chaser.
Selecting this menu displays the current MIDI
Channel controlling the Redback dimmer or the
current MIDI Note controlling dimmer 1.
In this screen:
The
Left

Right
arrow keys switch

•

5.3 Scene Setting [SCENE]
Activates and sets a single static scene for
situations where a control system is not
available.
Levels set in this scene are combined on a
highest-takes-precedence basis with levels from
the advanced scene memories, DMX512
control, the internal chaser and the optional MIDI
interface.
