CONTROLLER OPERATION 

 

Memory Scenes 

 
The NCM 6200 is capable of storing 128 scenes in internal memory. These scenes are completely user 
programmable and may be reprogrammed at any time. The memory scenes are organized into 16 pages of 8. 
Eight memory scene access buttons are available on the controller to bring up any of the 8 scenes within the page 
indicated on the LED display. 
 
 

Programming Memory Scenes 

 
To program a memory scene; first use the Page button to select the desired page. The channel level slide controls 
can then be moved to create the scene. To view the levels on stage, activate the Manual button before setting 
levels. Once the scene is complete, activate the Programming mode by pressing the Program button. "Pr" should 
appear in the LED display. Then press any of the eight scene select buttons to indicate which scene is to be 
programmed. 
 
 

Recalling Memory Scenes 

 
Scenes that have been programmed can be recalled at any time by pressing the desired Scene Select button 
when the proper Page is active. Pressing the button a second time will cause the scene to fade out. 
Only one memory scene can be active on an autofader at a time. Therefore, if one Scene Select button is already 
active and another is pressed a fade will occur from the first to the second. The green LED above each Scene 
Select button indicates which scene is presently active. It should be noted that memory scenes that are piled-on 
are not affected by this process and will remain on when changing Scene Select buttons. 
 

 
Scene Split 

 
The NCM 6200 has two autofaders available to the Scene Select buttons. This allows the user to have two scenes 
from the Scene Select buttons active at a time. For example, specials can be brought up and changed on one 
autofader while general lighting can remain on or be changed independently. The split where one auto fader 
begins and the other ends is determined with a Configuration mode. To configure the Scene Select buttons see 
section on CONFIGURATION MODE. 
 
 

Flash Scenes 

 
There are eight (8) user programmable Flash scenes on the NCM 6200. Pages have no effect on Flash scenes. 
Each Flash scene can be programmed to have any combination of channels bumped to full intensity when 
activated. The Scene Select buttons operate as Flash scenes whenever the controller is in Flash mode. 
 
 

Programming Flash Scenes 

 
Begin programming a Flash scene by sliding all the channel control sliders to the fully down position. Then raise all 
those that are to be on to the fully up position. To activate Flash programming, tap the Program button followed by
