MODES OF OPERATION
6.1 OVERVIEW
The
maXim
has several banks of faders.
•
The Yellow bank always controls the levels of
channels/fixtures 1 to 24 (36, 48, 60)
•
The Red bank has different functions as
selected by the “mode red bank” button;
•
PRESET
mode. The Red bank controls the
levels of channels/fixtures 1 to 24 (36, 48,
60). (A
duplicate
of the Yellow bank).
•
WIDE
mode. The Red bank controls the
levels of channels/fixtures 25 (37, 49, 61) to
48 (72, 96, 120). (An
extension
of the
Yellow bank providing
double
the number
of channel/fixture faders)
•
PLAYBACK
mode. The Red bank faders
become
PLAYBACKS
and control the
levels of recorded Scenes or Chases.
You may freely change red modes at any time
during your operation of the
maXim
and the
current red mode is
always shown
by the “LED”
MODE indicators.
Each mode has its particular advantage for
different types of operations.

Simplified diagram of a maXim in PRESET mode
.
You can create a lighting look by fading up your
required channels on one of the colour coded
banks and fading up the same colour master. By
keeping the other master faded down, another
look can be
preset
on the duplicate set of channel
faders without the channels being revealed on
stage. The new look is revealed by fading up its
master whilst the first look is faded down with its
master. The
next
look may now be “preset” on the
bank that has just been faded down. The fade
times of the masters are set by the IN and OUT
time faders.
6.2.1 PRESET
ADVANTAGE
This simple mode of operating is most useful in
unrehearsed situations where the next “look”
needs to be created “on the fly”. The channel
faders provide instant “hands on”.
6.2.2 PRESET
DISADVANTAGE
Only half of the possible
maXim
channels/fixtures
can be intensity controlled by dedicated faders.
6.3 WIDE
MODE
Wide mode utilises both the red
and
yellow banks
as a
single
wide bank thus doubling the number of
channel/fixture faders. The yellow faders control
the low numbered channels and the red faders
control the high numbered channels. The yellow
master controls the total output.

6.3.1 WIDE
ADVANTAGE
You have individual access to
all
of the
channels
that are available on the
maXim
. This is most
useful when you are RECORDING scenes as you
can utilise all channels to create your scenes.
(See “Playback Mode” below).
6.3.2 WIDE
DISADVANTAGE
You do not have a second “preset” bank on which
to create the next look and you have less
playbacks.
6.4 PLAYBACK
MODE
Selecting Playback mode only changes the
operation of the red bank. The faders of the red
fader bank become Playbacks containing
scenes
or
chases
that you have recorded.

Scenes, stacks and chases can be
recorded or
edited
whilst operating in any modes but scenes
and chases can only be played back on the Red
bank when it is in Playback mode.
6.4.1 PLAYBACK
ADVANTAGE
During rehearsal (in any mode), each lighting look
can be created and “recorded” into a Scene.
During the show (in Playback mode), the
Playback containing each scene is faded up when
required. The
maXim
remembers all the channels
and their levels together with the fade times. You
may also use the Red Playbacks to playback
chases that you have recorded.
