Audio Sync

An audio signal may be supplied to the MC 1616 console via the phon0 jack located on the
back of the unit.  The audio signal can be used to synchronize the chases to the beat of the
audio and to affect the intensity of predetermined channels. 

Synchronizing
Chase Patterns

To synchronize chases; activate the audio mode by tapping the Audio button until the LED
above it lights.  Now activate a chase pattern and move the Chase Rate control to the minimum
position.  Move the Audio Sensitivity slide control slowly up until the desired effect is
achieved.

Programming
Audio Intensity
Effects

The Audio mode may be programmed to flash desired channels to the intensity of the audio
signal whenever the Audio mode is on by following these steps:

Tap the Program button until the LED above it lights.  If the LED does not light, the memory
lock is on.

2.

Select channels to be affected by audio by moving the corresponding channel level sliders
to maximum, and move the remaining channel level sliders to minimum.
