F SPEED MASTER controls the speed at which cues of a Chase are stepped, from Stop, and 1 per 60 seconds through to
1200 beats per minute. The Step LED mimics the step rate, as well as indicating chase direction Forward (Green) and
Reverse (Red). If the Fade Master is set to Comet or Fade Chase, the Speed Master also changes the Up and Down times
of the Chase step. In Bass Chase mode (when the Bass LED is on or flashing), the Speed Master changes themode of the
Bass Chase. Bass Chase modes can be set to Bass Run (Burst or Stop), Bass Step, Base Speed, and Bass Auto
Speed/Level.
STOP MODE position of the Speed Master stops all Chases. This setting can be used for single stepping forward (Step/Stop
key) or backwards (Step/Stop and Cue Go key) through the steps of a Chase for editing Chase step levels.
STEP/STOP KEY controls Chase Direction. Pressing the key momentarily changes the Chase Direction: when the Step LED
is Green, all Chases step forward; when the LED is Red, all Chases step backwards. Holding the key down stops all Chases
until released. With Cue Go, this key gives a Chase Back function if the Speed Master is set at Stop. Holding Record and
pressing this key allows setting the Chase mode to Chase (Bass LED off), Bass Chase Slow (Bass LED on) or Bass Chase
Fast (Bass LED flashing) for a variety of Sound to Light effects.
G DBO/KILL KEY blacks out all output levels when pressed, excepting that any flashed Channels, Scenes, Chases, or Shows
stay on at full. With Record, this key clears any recorded steps in the Record buffer.
EDIT UP and DOWN KEY enable channels of recorded Scenes, Chase steps, or Show cues to be edited. The Speed
Master must be in the Stop position to edit Chase step levels. If both Up and Down are pressed together, pressing any
Channel Flash key shows that channel level on the first 10 channel mimic LEDS.
PAGE UP and DOWN KEYS change the current page shown in the Page display. With Record, Page key clears the Record
buffer. When both Page Up and Down keys are pressed together, pressing a Scenemaster keys mimics the Scene, Chase,
and Show next cue levels on the channel mimic LEDs.
BASS MODE LED shows the current Chase mode: LED Off: Chase; LED On: Bass Chase Slow; LED Flashing: Bass Chase
Fast
H RECORD ENABLE LED shows the Record status. When the LED is off, Record is disabled, protecting all recorded Scenes,
Chases and Shows. When the LED is Green, Record is enabled. A Red LED shows one scene has been recorded into the
Record Buffer, and waits to be assigned to a Scenemaster. A flashing Red LED shows more than one step has been
recorded and has yet to be assigned to a Scenemaster as a Chase or a Show.
RECORD KEY when pressed records the current output of the desk into spare memory. Holding Record and pressing a
Scenemaster Flash key then assigns that recording to the Scenemaster. Record is also used as a shift key for a number of
other functions, such as changing the Chase mode, and Record Enable/Disable and Erase Memory functions.
