PRESETS
RECORDING PRESETS (continued)
At any time while recording the preset you can enter a name for the preset. Use the cursor switches
to move the cursor in the display under each character then use the + or - switch or the data wheel
to select characters. You can also use an external keyboard to enter the name.
To save the preset, select the page and number where you want to store it. If you select a number
that is already lit, a message will appear asking if you want to write over the existing preset. Press
“yes” or “no”. You can use the page switches to select from pages 1 to 24 which will allow you to
store up to 1152 presets. You cannot record over or edit the factory presets on pages F1 through F4.
NOTE:
It can take several seconds to overwrite or erase a preset depending on how much memory
is currently used.
After saving a preset, record mode stays on allowing you to continue to record more presets.
Any channel changes that you made since starting the record process will still be included in any
new presets. To start a new preset from scratch, toggle the “preset” LED off and then back on while
the “record” LED is still flashing. This will clear out the record buffer.
To exit record mode, press “record”, all LEDs will stop flashing.
RECALLING PRESETS
To play a preset, first select the fixtures that you want to control with the preset. The fixtures must
have been included when the preset was recorded for anything to happen. Next, press the “preset”
switch, select a page then use the number switches to select any presets on that page. Unlike
scenes, you can have several presets on at the same time as long as each preset is controlling
different channels or fixtures. If two different presets are trying to control the same channel, the last
preset that was selected will have control of the channel. If a preset has been completely overridden
by another, it will be automatically switched off.
A fixture must be selected before a preset can be used, even if it that fixture was included in the
preset when it was recorded. This allows you to put every fixture into a preset but use only selected
ones as needed. For example, you could create a preset called “Red” that sets all color channels of
every fixture to the color red. Then when calling that preset, you would only select the fixtures that
you want to be red.
ERASE PRESET
To erase an existing preset, press “record” then “preset” then “erase”. As when recording a preset,
all LEDs that contain a preset will light. Next select the preset to erase. That preset name will appear
in the display. The message “Erase this Preset?” will also appear along with the preset name. Press
“yes” or “no”. If you press “yes” the preset will be erased. You can then select additional presets to
be erased or you can press “record” again to exit record mode.
NOTE:
It can take several seconds to overwrite or erase a preset depending on how much memory
is currently used.
