OPERATION (continued)
RECORD MODE
Programming Chase Sequences
(NOTE: On early consoles, the CHASE key was called the EFFECTS key and labeled EFF.)
A chase sequence is programmed by switching the console to the record mode and by pressing
the chase (CHS) key followed by the number of the chase to be recorded (0 through 9). The
numbers of the desired channels, submasters, and dimmers are then entered using the AND
(AND or &) and thru (THRU or -) keys. The order in which the steps are entered is the order in
which they will be "chased". Channels, submasters, and dimmers may be mixed at random
within a chase sequence by preceding each number with either the channel key (to select a
channel), submaster key (to select a submaster), or chase key (to select a dimmer). Once a
particular item to be chased has been selected it remains selected until changed. Upon selecting
a chase to be recorded the "chase type" defaults to a channel chase unless changed. Once the
sequence has been entered the chase is recorded into memory by pressing the enter (ENT) key.
Examples will help clarify the process. First, a note what the display is telling you when recording
a chase:
When recording or reviewing a chase, the display will display "Alter Chase -". Entering a
chase number will display "Chase 0(or number entered) : c--" waiting for a channel number to
be entered. You may enter a submaster by pressing the SUB key, the display will then read
"Chase 0 : s--" waiting for a submaster number to be entered. You can also enter a dimmer
number by pressing the CHASE key; the display will read "Chase 0 : d--" waiting for a dimmer
number.
The Dimmer chase feature allows a level of flexibility not found in most consoles: The ability
to chase dimmers not assigned to a channel, or patched in groups. There are two limitations to
the dimmer chase feature: 1) Only dimmers 1 through 99 may be chased. 2) The "BUILD"
function cannot be used in a dimmer chase.
