MEMORY PLAYBACK
1. Memory Playback Mode
Memory playback mode is entered by pressing the
MEM PLAYBACK
key. You will be prompted to use
SOFTKEY
A "Yes"
to enter this mode. If you do not wish to enter use
SOFTKEY C "No".
Memory Playback Mode allows you to combine Submasters with the LED and ML scenes or chases that you have
recorded. This makes it a good mode for busking for concert or club type applications where you want to quickly
combine looks of generic lights with chases you have recorded for MLs and LEDs.
The first 24 submasters (12 on the 12/24 version) on all 24 pages of submasters (12 on the 12/24 version) are
available for playback. These can be accessed using the Preset A faders.
The Preset B faders are used to access the MLs and LEDs. The ML and LEDs are combined into one fader. If you
have recorded a LED chase and a ML chase into Fader 25 on their separate pages when you raise fader 25 in
Memory
Playback Mode
both the LEDs and MLs will be output. It is a good idea to program with this in mind if you intend
to combine these two types of fixtures together in this way. For instance you may want a blue wash of LEDs and
MLs. It would be a good idea to program both looks into the same fader on their relevant pages so that when you play
them back together you get a blue stage.
It is also possible to program some faders as LEDs and some as ML. Again be aware of this when you are planning
your programming.
When in
Memory Playback Mode
, the LCD display will show as seen

You can assign a time to a submaster using
SOFTKEY A "Assign Fade"
. Press
SOFTKEY A "Assign Fade"
Move
the STEP RATE fader to the required level while holding down the flash button of the Submaster you want to set a
time for. To exit
Assign Fade
, press
SOFTKEY A
again.
SOFTKEY B "Page UP"
and
SOFTKEY C "Page Down"
will change the submaster page that you have access to.
To exit
Memory Playback Mode
select the mode that you wish to go into, this can be
Single Scene
,
Two Scene
,
Submaster
,
ML,
or
LED
modes. The LCD screen will prompt you and tell you which mode you are going to enter.
In the example above selecting
SOFTKEY A "Yes"
will take us into
LED
mode.
SOFTKEY C "No"
will leave us in
Memory Playback Mode
.
Note:
Be aware that you will go into a blackout on exiting until you activate fixtures in the mode into which you exit.
It is a good idea therefore to only exit
Memory Playback Mode
in a planned blackout. The only way to avoid this is
to enter
Memory Playback
with channels set at a level in
Single Scene
or
Two Scene
mode. If you exit
Memory
Playback
to
Single Scene
or
Two Scene
mode these channels will be on. You can then set a new scene and fade
into it in the normal way.
