Running Chases
There are two ways to run a Chase; 1) AUTO uses a time between steps set either by the SPEED fader or the
TAPSYNC button. 2) Music uses an internal microphone to step the chase to the beat of the music.
1) While in the Run Mode (Programming LED off), select a Trigger Mode for the chase.
a)
AUTO
- press the AUTO/DEL button. Use the SPEED and FADE TIME faders to set the time interval
between Scenes (SPEED) and how much the Scenes are Cross Faded (FADE TIME). The interval
between two taps of the TAPSYNC/DISPLAY button will over ride the fader setting with the time of the
interval, up to a maximum of 10 minutes (value shown briefly in the display). Moving the SPEED fader
will cancel the Tapsync setting. When using the TAPSYNC feature, the cross fade time can still be set
with the FADE TIME fader.
9
Note that the controller will finish out the last SPEED time seen on the fader, so if the SPEED fader is
moved quickly from a large value to a small value, it may take a while for the next Scene to trigger.
9
Note that if the FADE TIME is longer than the SPEED, the controller will step to the next scene before
the cross fade has been completed. The fixtures will never actually get to where the Scene is
programmed.
9
Note that if the display is flickering between two speeds, the chase may not run. Adjust the
SPEED fader and/or FADE TIME fader to stop the flickering
.
9
Note that the Chase must be in AUTO mode first to use the Tapsync function.
b) MUSIC - press the MUSIC/BANK-COPY button.
2) Press a CHASE 1-6 button.
9
The display will not display the number of the Chase running. If there is a number shown, it is the number
of the last Chase to run and there will be no Chase running.
3) To select different chase, press a different CHASE 1-6 button twice.
4) To stop the Chase and Black-out the controller use the BLACKOUT button or press the CHASE 1-6 button once
and the chase will stop on the current Scene. <Done>
