RAPID SCENE RECORDING
To Record a Scene, first create a look on the output as described earlier, then press;
[record scene]
You will also notice that the F/A buttons below the Red fader bank will flash twice. They
indicate possible scene
numbers
and they flash to prompt you to select a scene number.
The display scrolls a message, “Pick Scene Number”.
To complete the recording as scene 1, press;
[F/A] (1) (Red bank).
The display briefly displays “R1.01” (the recorded Bank/Page/Scene number) confirming the
recording.
This is the quickest method of recording a scene. It uses the
default
values
of;
•
Page number
the current page.
•
IN fade time
controlled by the IN time fader.
•
OUT fade time
controlled by the OUT time fader.
SCENE RECORDING WITH FADE TIMES
When you record a scene, you may set exclusive IN and OUT fade times for that scene
(independent of the Time faders).
Create another “LOOK” using the channel faders.
We will now record it in Page 1, Scene 2 with a
recorded
IN time of 5 second and OUT time of 10
seconds. Press;
[record scene]
[function]
The “IN(S)” LED lights and the display reads “IN time-Set with wheel”, then shows the
default setting.
Rotate the EDIT wheel and use it to set the IN time to 5.0 seconds.
Press; [FUNCTION]
The “OUT(S)” LED lights and the display reads “OUT time-Set with wheel” ”, then shows the
default setting.
Rotate the EDIT wheel and use it to set the IN time to 10.0 seconds.
To complete the recording, give the scene a number by pressing;
[F/A] (2)
The display briefly displays “R1.02”(the recorded Bank/Page/Scene number).
Note; When the RECORD button is pressed,
all Playback flash/assign buttons flash twice, then Playbacks
containing Scenes remain lit, Playbacks containing Chases flash quickly, Playbacks containing Stacks flash
slowly and empty Playbacks are not lit. If you change pages, the contents of each page is shown.
5.4 REPLAYING A SCENE
The scenes that you recorded were on the red bank, so to play them back you must select SCENE
mode. This changes the faders of the Red bank into PLAYBACKS. The function of each Playback
depends upon the contents of the currently selected page. You determine what each page contains
when you
record
(or copy) scenes, chases or stacks into them. Hence each Playback may control
a
scene
or a
chase
. (Stacks are stored in playback memory locations but may only be replayed on
the stack master). When you select scene mode on the red bank or change pages in Scene mode,
the scenes (and/or chases) in the selected page are assigned, in order, to their respective red bank
Playbacks, 1 to 12 (24, 36, 48, 60).
When you change blue bank pages, the scenes (and/or chases) in the selected page are assigned,
in order, to their respective blue bank Playbacks, 1 to 6 (18, 30). (L, XL &XXL models only)
The output from all of the red Playbacks is under the control of the Red master.
The output from all of the blue Playbacks is under the control of the blue master.
Fade down all of the faders on the RED bank and both of the Time faders to their lower limit.
To change to SCENE mode, repeatedly press; [mode red bank] until the “scene” indicator is lit.
Earlier you recorded scenes in Red Page 1 Scene 1 (R1.01) and Red Page 1 Scene 2 (R1.02) .
These scenes are now available on Red Playbacks 1 and 2 respectively because Page 1 is shown
as the current red page. Fade up the Red master, then to reveal scene R1.01 on stage, fade up red
Playback 1(Red fader 1).
