Bump Buttons
The 16 individual channel bump buttons are used to bump (or flash) the intensity of the
respective channel to full brightness (or the setting of the master level control). The
bump buttons have priority over most control functions and are active regardless of the
blackout button. In program mode, the bump buttons serve a special function and will
not affect stage lighting levels.
Pattern Select
The 12 Pattern Select buttons are used for activating any of the 12 chase patterns or
static scenes stored in memory. A tap of any of the pattern select buttons will light the
LED above the button and cause the pattern or scene stored in memory to fade in at
the set fade rate. A second tap of the button will cause the LED to go off and then the
pattern or scene will fade out at the set fade rate.
Pressing and holding down any of the Pattern Select buttons will bypass the set fade
rate and cause all patterns or scenes to fade in or out instantly. Pattern select buttons
operate independently of one another and any or all of the 12 patterns may be active at
the same time. The blackout button will reset all active patterns.
Programming patterns or scenes is discussed under "PROGRAMMING".
Manual
The Manual button allows manual intensity control of the 16 lighting channels. The first
tap of the manual button will light the LED above it and cause the channels to fade up
to the intensity set by the channel level sliders. After the fade up is complete, changes
to the lighting levels can be made by simply moving the channel level slide controls.
A second tap of the Manual button will cause the LED to go out and the lighting levels
set by the slide controls will fade out at set fade rate. Pressing and holding down the
Manual button will bypass the set fade rate and cause the manual scene to fade in or
out instantly. The Manual scene may also be reset by a second tap of the blackout
button if the console is so configured.
Note
The Manual scene may be configured to not be cleared by Blackout or may even be
configured to be permanently on at all times regardless of operation of the Manual
scene button.
