To record the scene, select the page and scene number. You can use the page switches to select from pages
1 to 99 and the number switches from 1 to 48 allowing you to store up to 4752 scenes. If you select a scene
number that is already lit, a message will appear asking if you want to write over the existing scene. Press
“yes” or “no”.
If at any time you wish to exit record mode without recording anything, press the “record” switch and you
will exit record mode.
RECALLING SCENES
To play a scene, turn on the “scene” LED by pressing the “scene” switch. Select the page if necessary and
then press the number switch for that scene. When a scene is called, any moving light fixture channels as
well as any conventional dimmer channels that are included in the new scene will crossfade using the
recorded fade time to the new scene values. Any chases and presets that are part of the scene will also be
called.
There is no limit to number of scenes that can be running at one time as long as each scene is controlling
different channels. A scene’s LED will remain lit until its channels have been overridden by any new
scenes. When a scene is called, channels that are not part of the new scene will be left in their current
positions and any chases that were running will keep running as long as the new scene does not override
the channels in the chase. This method of playback allows channels from previous scenes to track through
to the next scene as long as the new scene doesn’t change those channels. This is also referred to as “track
through” or “pile on” by some controllers.
You can use this to combine several scenes into one scene. To do this, call any number of scenes that do
not conflict with each other than press record and save as a new scene.
RECALLING SCENES (solo mode)
To solo a scene, turn on the solo switch before calling the scene. Any channels that are not included in the
scene will be set to 0 and any other scenes that are currently on will be turned off.
RECALLING SCENES (preview mode)
Preview mode lets you see the name and adjust the fade time of a scene before calling it. The “go” switch
is used to start the scene. Activate preview mode by pressing the “preview” switch and turning on its LED.
While in preview mode, you can also select scenes with an external keyboard, the + or – switches or the
wheels before calling the scene with the “go” switch. You can also adjust the fade time before calling the
scene. If you are using an external keyboard to select scenes, move the cursor on the display using the left
or right arrow keys to choose page, scene or fade time. You can enter numbers from the keyboard and
then use the enter key on the keyboard or press the “go” switch on the SD3 to call the scene. The “go”
LED will light up when a valid scene number has been selected, indicating that the “go” switch is ready to
call the scene.
RECALLING SCENES WITH PLAYBACK MASTERS
You can assign a scene to a playback master then use the playback fader or its switch to call the scene. The
playbacks offer several different playback modes. Read the section on playback masters for more detailed
information on how they work.
