PROGRAM CHASE SEQUENCE - 2 types:

B. *Environment Chases - not yet available.
Programming Scene Chases
1. Firstly create all the Scenes that you need to make the steps of your Scene Chase - see page 5.5.
2. Press the Program Chase Sequence pad.
3. Tell the Masterpiece which of the 54 Scene Chases you are going to program by selecting one of the 3 Scene
Chase Keyboards and then pressing one of the 18 Keyboard pads.
4. The current Keyboard automatically switches back from a Scene Chase Keyboard to the Scene Keyboard last
used. If necessary, change to another Scene Keyboard, where your required Scenes are stored.
5. Press the Keyboard pads, to select the Scenes in the sequence required for the chase (changing Scene
Keyboard if required). The display shows the Scene number while pressed, followed by the step number.
6. Use the editing keys if necessary - see 9. and 10. below.
7. When satisfied, switch off Program Chase Sequence - the display shows "End".
8. Now use the chase controls as required to define the type of chase, speed, etc. - see THE CHASE
CONTROLS below.
Chase Editing Keys
9. Use the Reverse Manual Step pad to delete any mistakes - the display shows "dEL" while pressed, followed
by the decremented step number. This is now the last step of the chase.
10. The Forward Manual Step pad can be used to step through the chase, showing the scene number while
pressed followed by the step number.
Editing a Chase
11. The Scenes that are the steps of the chase may themselves be edited - see MODIFYING SCENES on
Page 5.5.
12. To edit the steps of the chase, follow steps 2. and 3. above, then Forward Step to the last correct step and
overwrite with new steps from there. Use the Editing Keys as required. Pressing Program Chase Sequence
again will display "End" if changes have been made otherwise "CNCL" if they haven’t.
Deleting a Chase
13. Follow steps 2. and 3. above.
14. Press the Reverse Manual Step pad (Delete) - the chase now has no steps - pressing the Forward Manual
Step would display "NONE".
15. Press the Program Chase Sequence pad again - display shows "End".
Note - the last Scene - "12.18" - is kept permanently as a Blackout Scene. A blackout step is often required in a
chase e.g. the last step of a One Shot chase.
