Auto / Varispeed / Bass Chase/Beat
Auto chase requires no sound input, with chase speed
determined directly by the speed control.
Varispeed speeds up and slows the chase according to the
tempo of the music on the audio input, with the speed control
used to set a basic speed.
Bass chase will step through the pattern on a bass beat giving
a Sound to Light effect.
Beat Allows you to input the rhythm the effect will follow.
*
Attack
Three types of crossfade are available:
Switch on / switch off
Switch on / fade off
Fade on / fade off
Switch on / fade off is particularly useful for PAR cans.

been programmed.
