2: Set Control action
This option allows you to set the function of the Control socket. You will see
Control: 1*Blackout
2.Step 3.Chs 4.Hold
The star indicates which option is currently selected. The options are
1. Blackout (on alternate presses of switch)
2. Next step in current chase (if you have set Chase Run mode to Manual for one or
both chases)
3. Next programmed chase in current bank
4. ‘Hold’ the current chase(s); then run again (on alternate presses of switch). You
must be running chase(s) in Auto (i.e. not manual) mode for this to have any
effect. If a crossfade is in progress the Hold won’t take effect until it has finished.
Option 1 is the default.
The Control socket is designed for use with a normally-open-contact footswitch, but
you can connect other types of switch to it. Any contact closure or GPI (General
Purpose Interface) trigger will work. The socket is fitted with a 10KΩ pull-up resistor
so your external control signal must be able to pull the voltage down to ground to
trigger the input.
3: Set startup mode
To a limited extent you can set what the unit will do when it is first turned on.
Startup: 1*Nothing
2.LtShw 3.Scn 4.Chs
The currently selected option has a star beside it. The options are:
1. Start with nothing selected (default)
2. Start in Light Show mode
3. Start with first Scene (Scene 1 in Bank 1)
4. Start with first Chase (Chase 1 in Bank 1)
Note: If you select option 3 or 4 and the scene or chase isn’t programmed, the
controller will use the first pre-programmed scene or chase.
You can use option 4 in conjunction with the Automatic Chase selection option to
make the controller auto-run a variety of chases when it is turned on, without any
user action being required.
