13.1.2 Take Over Run mode
When you switch from Program to Take Over Run mode, the Programmer
does not clear and you have access to all HTP and LTP Channels. You can
use Wheels or Preset Faders to control Attributes exactly like Program
mode. The only difference is that HTP Preset Channels are under the control
of Preset Master A.
The Preset ADD and Preset SWOP buttons have the same functionality as
they do in Program mode, so you can still Select lamps with the SWOP
buttons and apply Preset Focuses from the ADD buttons.
Use CLEAR to clear the Programmer as normal.
⇒ In Take Over Run mode you can recall Preset Focuses over a given time
by selecting Fixtures, typing a time on the Keypad and then selecting the
Preset Focus button. (Do not press ENTER after keying in the time). This
is a very useful feature when ‘busking’ a show.
Playback Fader levels work normally and are controlled by the Memory
Master Fader B.
See Section 13.3 The ADD and SWOP buttons in different Run Modes for
Playback ADD and SWOP button functions. The LED’s on the Playback
SWOP buttons follow the Playback Fader Level.
Playback SWOP buttons do not work at all.
You should note however that the response time of the Playback ADD buttons is
slower than the Normal Run Mode response time. (The average time for these
buttons in Normal Run Mode is 85mS and in Take Over Run Mode is 185 mS).
Overall levels are governed by the Grand Master.
13.2 Running in Two Preset Mode
In Two Preset mode when you switch the Key from Program to Run, the
Programmer is cleared and you no longer have access to any LTP
Channels.
This mode still has access to HTP Channels however.
In this mode you have access to Channels 1 to 30 on both sets of Preset
Faders.
Attribute Bank A is controlled by the Preset Master Fader A.
Attribute Bank B is controlled by the Memory Master Fader B.
There is therefore no Memory Master when running in Two Preset mode.
Each Preset Channel has an ADD and a SWOP button associated with it.
The Preset SWOP function works to SOLO a Preset Fader, killing all other
Channels.
The Preset ADD button adds the Channel to the output of the desk.
In this Mode, the level to which Channels are put onto the output by the ADD
and SWOP buttons is controlled by the ADD and SWOP Master Faders.
