Chases
Each of the two Chase functions can be programmed to include any channel in any step up to a maximum
of 32 steps per Chase. To initiate Chase programming, first tap the Program button so that the Program
LED is lit. Then tap the Chase button of the Chase to be programmed and the LED under the chase
button should start flashing. The console is now ready to program the first step of the chase. Use the
Scene X slide controls to indicate which channels should be on or off by either raising them to full or
lowering them to minimum. Once set, tap the Program button again to store the step. The console is
now ready to program the second step of the chase. Continue programming steps, up to 32, until the
chase is complete. Tapping the Blackout button exits the chase programming. Programming will be
automatically exited if more than 32 steps are attempted.
If the console is in the 1 x 16 (1 x 32) [1 x 48] mode, Scene Y can be used to include the channels
controlled by these sliders in the Chase program. Follow the same procedure explained above, but
include the Scene Y channels into each step programmed.
