6. CHASERS
6.1 OVERVIEW
A Chaser is a recorded list of steps that are to be replayed in order, stepping continuously
from one-step to the next and automatically repeating the list when it has reached the end.
Each step in a Chaser consists of a Memory or a snapshot of the output (which is taken
when that step is added to the Chaser). Up to 24 steps may be recorded for each Chaser
and up to 37 separate Chasers may be recorded into the memory. 13 simultaneous Chasers
can be run at any one time.
Chasers are recorded by page and Chaser number. Page numbers are selected with the
PAGE button and Chaser numbers are selected with the red F/A buttons. Chasers may be
randomly recorded into any page and Chaser number, however Memories and Chasers
share the same memory locations within each page, so recording a Chaser into the F/A of an
existing Memory will REPLACE the Memory with the Chaser (and visa-versa). Chasers may
also be recorded directly into the Grab Master.
Chaser rate and crossfade times can be recorded in memory as part of each Chaser.
Chasers may be run in any of the following modes;
•
FORWARD
•
REVERSE
•
BOUNCE (Auto reverse at each end)
•
SINGLE SHOT (Run once and stop) (in either direction)
•
RANDOM (computer generated random sequence)
•
MANUALLY STEPPED FORWARD (Ideal for running sequences with an external
"GO" button)
•
MANUALLY STEPPED REVERSE
The Chaser SPEED (rate) can be manually controlled or recorded into memory in BPM
(Beats per Minute).
Chaser stepping may be synchronised to the beat of an Audio Input signal.
Chaser stepping may be under the control of an external switch.
Traditionally, Chasers will snap (instantly switch) from step to step but you may also elect to
crossfade from step to step. The crossfade time can be manually controlled or recorded into
memory.
A Chaser may be edited. The contents of any step may be changed, the speed varied and
steps may be added or deleted.
6.2 RECORDING A CHASER
To record a chaser, press [record chaser] [PAGE] (optional) (select page one, two or three)
[F/ A] (chaser number) (any of the Red Bank Flash/Assign buttons).
Or to record a Chaser in the Grab Master, press [record chaser] [F/ A] (GRAB).
Each step of a Chaser can consist of a previously recorded Memory or a snapshot of the
current output. Up to 24 steps can be recorded in each Chaser.
