MANUAL SCENE RECORDING AND PLAYBACK
RECORDING AND ASSIGNING A SCENE
1 Set up a lighting state for the first 72 channels on the Channel faders (all Scenes LEDs Off), or for all 288 channels by
using the Edit Channels Page keys and the Up/Down keys as described earlier on Page 19.
2 Press and release [RECORD] to record the scene in spare memory.
3 Hold [RECORD] and press any Scenemaster flash key on the top two presets, or a Submaster flash key on the bottom
preset to assign the recording.
Note that the state of the Scenes LEDs does not affect this action. After a short mimic flash, the Record LED stops flashing—the Record
Buffer memory is now empty, its contents having been recorded under the Scenemaster. A Scene is always recorded initially as a Manual
Scene. Manual Scene playback is not affected by the setting of the Scene Fade master.
RECORDING AND ASSIGNING A SCENE BLIND
You can also set up a Scene blind (not showing on stage) on the Channel Faders for the first 72 channels with the Channels Master at
zero, and then record and assign it to a Scenemaster as follows:
1 Set the Channels Master at zero, then set up a lighting state on the Channel faders for the first 72 channels.
2 Hold [RECORD], then press [FLASH] the key above the Channels Master, and release both keys.
3 Hold [RECORD] and press a Scenemaster flash key to assign the recording.
MANUAL SCENE PLAYBACK
Playback of recorded scenes is controlled by the Scenes LED for that preset of faders—the LED for the preset must be on. Then, raising
the fader level of a Manual Scene brings up the levels of that scene at the same speed as you move the fader. Manual Scenes add levels
on a highest takes precedence basis, and all levels are controlled both by the Scenes and the Grand Master faders. When the Scenes
LED for row of faders is On, Manual Scenes show as Green in the LED mimic display.
FLASHING MANUAL SCENES
If the Scenes LED for the row of faders is On, pressing the Flash key of a Manual Scene instantly recalls the levels of that scene. A
flashed Manual Scene adds levels on a latest takes precedence basis—flashed levels over 5% over-ride any other output level. This
mode of operation is useful for turning some channels effectively off (flashed scene levels recorded at 5%), while others are turned on.
Flashed levels are only controlled by the Grand Master Fader. As in Channels Kill mode, if the Kill LED lis on, pressing any Scene Flash
key blacks out all other output, leaving only that Scene.
