FX MODE

FX mode allows you to program channels, MLs and LEDs into a single cue stack. These stacks can have a time for
each scene and also a wait time for each scene if you want them to run automatically.

If the cue stack is recorded with the Step Time set to Manual then it can be run using the

GO/STEP

button to trigger

each step. This allows for theatrical style programming where a cue stack is run using a

button to provide a

consistent show each time it is replayed.

on the first page. To access the extra memories press the

CHANNEL EXPANSION

alongside the
