PROGRAM
The PROGRAM button is used when programming most of the functions of the MIDI 616. When this
button is tapped, the red LED above it will light, indicating the MIDI 616 is in programming mode. To
program various functions, refer to the specific section regarding that function. If the PROGRAM button
was pressed in error, simply press the button again to exit the programming mode, turning off the red
indicator LED. While in program mode, no MIDI Information is transmitted.
MANUAL
The MANUAL Mode can be activated at any time in conjunction with any other mode. When the
Manual Mode is activated by pressing the MANUAL button, the channel level slide controls can be
adjusted to any light level in “real time.” While in Manual Mode, none of the light intensity levels will
be affected until one of the channel level slide controls Is moved. Once a slide control is moved, the
lighting intensity for that channel will immediately change to the new control level, regardless of the
current lighting level. The new lighting level will then follow the control setting until the scene is
changed, or until Manual Mode is defeated by tapping the MANUAL button again, turning off the red
indicator LED.
TECHNICAL NOTE
MIDI Information
Manual Mode should be avoided when recording MIDI data on a sequencer. When a channel level slide
control is moved, a Fade Rate of 0 is sent, followed by a “note-on” command for the control level. Many
of these sequences are sent out through the MIDI port for even small control movements.
CHASE
The MIDI 616 is capable of storing 3 chase sequences of up to 32 steps in non-volatile memory. Any of
these chase effects can be selected by tapping the CHASE button the number of times corresponding to
the Chase Mode desired. For example, to select Chase Mode 1, tap the CHASE button once (ONLY). To
select Chase Mode 3, tap the CHASE button 3 times.
When selecting Chase Modes 2 and 3, the CHASE button MUST be tapped the second and third times
within 5 seconds of the first tap. Also, Chase Modes can only be selected while there is no chase active.
After 5 seconds has elapsed since the first tap of the CHASE button, the Chase selection is defeated. The
CHASE button then becomes a Manual Chase key to manually step through a chase sequence (with the
CHASE RATE at minimum) or halt chasing altogether while held down.
