When recording, you can choose to stored only changed information (Record by Channel) or all parameters in the
selected fixture (Record by Fixture). To access this function use the
SOFTKEY D "Next"

to go to the second
page of the LCD menu. You can toggle between
"Loop On"
and
"Loop Off"
by using
SOFTKEY B
. If you choose
"Loop Off"
the chase will only run through one full cycle before stopping. To retrigger the chase you will need to
lower the fader for that chase and retrigger it by raising the fader.
Timing for LEDs
It is possible to set a time for each step and a wait time. To do this, use the
STEP RATE
fader and the
FD/ST TIME
key. If the
FD/ST TIME
key is red the fader will be setting the fade time and if it is green it will be setting the wait
time.
Playing Back a LED Scene or Chase.
To play back a scene or chase raise the relevant playback fader, the buttons under the faders with a scene or chase
recorded in them will turn red. The chase will begin to run. The Flash button under the fader will flash to tell you the
chase is running. You will be able to see the values for the moving light changing on the monitor display as the chase
runs. If you select a moving light by pressing its flash button you will be able to see the attribute values changing in
the bottom right window of the monitor as the chase runs.
If you wish to play a chase back manually then press the Flash button for that chase, it will turn green to show it is in
manual mode. You can now use the
GO/STEP
button to manually trigger each step. It is possible to select multiple
chases to trigger them manually.
To stop a Chase running or to stop outputting a scene, lower the fader to zero.
Editing a Scene or Chase
It is possible to edit a scene or chase that you have recorded. To do this you need to go into the LED menu function by
selecting the
MENU
key while in the LED mode.
