• Press Softbutton F [DONE] when finished.
A Script File records two types of Step.
The first kind is recorded when a Playback Fader is raised.
This type of step records three pieces of information :
The Playback Channel
The Timecode value
The time taken for the Playback Fader to move from the Trigger Point to
FULL.
The second kind is recorded when a Playback Fader is lowered.
This type of step records three pieces of information :
The Playback Channel
The Timecode value
The time taken for the Playback Fader to move from FULL to the Trigger
Point.
⇒ It is important that the Playback Fader reaches FULL in order for the
Timing information to be correctly recorded, so you must make sure that
all your Memories and Chase Steps are programmed with the correct
intensity levels.
You can now replay the recorded Script File.
17.2 Selecting a Script File for Editing or Playback
You can select a Script File from the Script File Programming menu :
• Press Softbutton C [SELECT A SCRIPT FILE].
• Enter the Script File number you want to replay onto the Keypad or use
the Up and Down Cursor Keys to highlight the Script File you are
Selecting.
• Press ENTER.
17.3 Checking your Script File
You may wish to select the Internal Clock to check your files, as it is probably
easier than rerunning your external Timecode source. The asterisk always
indicates the next step to be run, and the live step is always shown below
the clock as “Live = XX”.
To select the Internal clock :
• Press Softbutton A [SELECT A TIMER SOURCE]. Decide which time source
will be used, Timecode or Internal Clock.
• Press Softbutton D [INTERNAL TIMER / TC]. The Internal Clock may start to
run.
The Internal Clock will produce the same kind of code as the MIDI; Hours, minutes,
seconds, frames. This can be used to edit ‘offline’.
Now you can check your Script File.
• If required, you can enter a new start time onto the prompt line using the
Keypad.
