Scene
Page 27
You can clear a scene (put it back to ‘unprogrammed’) or a whole bank or scenes
using the Scene Setup option (see section 7.3).
If you want to start programming with a completely blank scene, hold down Cancel.
This will set all the outputs to zero.
If you are changing an existing scene (you’ve recalled a scene then used the controls to
change it), the controller will tell you which scene you started with, in case you want
to update the original scene with the changed version.
Save as which scene?
Showing Bk:01 Sc:02
You still save the scene in the same way. If you change the bank, the reminder will
disappear.
Selecting the Scene Bank
There are 24 banks of user-programmable scenes. You can select another of the
banks using the Bank button. Press Bank again to swap between banks 1-16 and
17-24. Press one of the number keys to select the bank number. For banks 17-24, add
16 to the number on the key to get the bank number you want (in other words
button 1 will give Bank 17, button 2 gives Bank 18 and so on). The lights above the
buttons will change to show you which scenes have been programmed in the new
bank.
Programming scenes for use with multiple chases
You can play back two chases together, which allows you to program some ‘mirror
only’ chases and some ‘colour/gobo only’ chases, then produce more varied chases by
combining the two at different speeds. You can also overlay a scene on a chase
allowing you to control, say, a switch pack or some Scenesetters separately from the
chase.
To program, for example, a ‘mirror only’ chase, you will need some ‘mirror only’
scenes, which have the mirror channels set to non-zero values but the colour and
gobo channels set at zero. When you replay the chase, you will be able to replace the
zero values with values from another chase.
The controller has an Exclude function (Scene setup option 5, see page 30), allowing
you to automatically exclude channels from the scene when you save it; you tell the
controller which channels you want to be saved with the scene and which channels
you want to save as zero.
Note: Channels are only set at zero when you haven’t changed them, when
you use the exclude function, or when you Cancel your changes. You
can’t manually set channels back to zero once you have changed them.
