Manual Control of Dimmer Channels and Fixtures 

We will introduce how to manually control dimm

er channels and fixtures in this chapter. 

3.1.  Live Mode 

There are two types of Live Mode in

 Party 600, while using the soft-key

  Channel/Level to switch the mode, 

the LCD screen display the present mode. 

  Level

 

mode

.

  You  can  change  the  brightness  of  the  fixture  or  channel  by  fade  in  the  fader  which  had 

patched the fixtures or dimmers. 

  Channel mode. You can use the 40 faders to control the 

channels of the selected 

fixtures in this mode. 

The Level mode is the normal Live 

Mode. The Channel mode ca

n only be used for adjusting the channel value 

of the selected fixtures. 

3.2.  Select Manual Control of Units 

You can try to manual control the Units after patching. Fi

rst of all, select the units need to be controlled. 

  Select the Units need to be controlled first. Select the page number in the Unit section, then press the Unit 

buttons you need to control.

 

  If you want to manual control the brightness of the channels you selected, please set the faders into Level 

mode; if you want to manual control diversified attri

bute of the fixtures you selected, please set the faders 

into Channel mode. 

Fast way: If you need to select Unit button 1-10, you 

only need to press Unit button 1 and hold still until you 

press Unit button 10. 

Note: If the Unit buttons had not patched to any fixtur

es or dimmers, you can not choose Units and the led of 

the Unit buttons will not on. 

3.3.  View the output of the Console 

The LCD screen display the present attri

butes value. It displays as follows: 

Unit No. - Mark + 

nnn

  

There are several kinds of marks:   

M = manual mode, P = preset value, L = locate value, CH = channel mode; 

nnn

 shows the attribute value of the presen

t Unit, 0 = minimum, 255 = maximum.   

For example:   

1-M255 means Unit 1 is in the manual mode which value 

is 255.
