The Snapshot Clear button is used to blackout the Snapshot buffer at the current fade rate
setting. Tapping Blackout will also clear the Snapshot unless a Chase is active, in which
case only the Chase will Canceled.
Modify
Lighting channels can be controlled individually on stage by activating the Modify function.
This allows for scene modification during an actual production. When active, each channel
slide control can be used to gain control of the level of that channel by moving it to the
current level indicated by the LED directly above it. The output LED will blink whenever
a channel slider has control of it.
Tap the Modify again to release control of the channels. The channels will fade to their
original levels at the current fade rate setting.
Note: Whenever Modify has control of a channel, it is forced to that level. Even if a
scene is active with a higher level, the channel will stay at the lower modified level.
This is very useful in editing memory scenes, since a channel of a scene can be reduced
and then reprogrammed over itself.
Pile On Scenes
Using the Pile On button allows memory scenes to be added to present stage lighting without
being affected by proceeding autofades. To initiate a Pile On tap the Pile On button and
the LED above it will lite. Now select a memory scene by tapping the respective memory
scene button. The scene selected will fade up at the set fade rate and the LED above the
Pile On button will stay lit indicating that a Pile On is active. More scenes can be added
by repeating the above procedure.
Pressing the Blackout button will clear the Pile On function. If a Memory Scene, Chase,
Stack, etc is active, the Pile On may be selectively cleared by first pressing the Pile button,
followed by the Blackout button.
Channel Bump
Buttons
Each channel may be "bumped" to full intensity with the button directly below each channel
slider. The channel will only be effected while the button is pressed unless the Toggle
function is active, in which case the channel will toggle on or off with each press. The
Grand Master and Blackout button will not affect the Bump levels.
Blind
It is sometimes desired to reprogram or preview during a live production. Using the Blind
button causes the current stage levels, including chase effects, to be locked on stage. Any
changes on the MC 6300 will not affect stage levels. It should be noted that exiting the
Blind mode will instantly change stage levels to controller levels. If this is not desired, it
is necessary to return the controller to the same setting as the stage levels.
