• INCLUDE function now allows you to partially recall a Memory or Chase
Step. You can Select which Attributes and which Fixtures you want to
recall information into. A step can be INCLUDED from an UNFOLDED
Chase. A shape in the Memory will get automatically INCLUDED.
• New AVO button located to the right of the number 3 on the keypad is a
Shift key to allow you to Select Dimmers patched onto the upper Preset
Faders to be Selected using the blue Preset SWOP buttons.
• New Chase Editing buttons are located on the centre row of the
Sequence Control area, to the right of the Chase STOP button. They are
from left to right the LIVE TIME, LIVE STEP, NEXT TIME and SNAP
BACK buttons. They allow Chase Steps and Chase Step Times to be
Edited. The Chase EDIT button has been removed.
• The old Chase EDIT button is now the REVIEW button which allows you
to review your Chase Edits.
• FAN mode has been implemented. This changes the way the two
Wheels control an Attribute for a group of Fixtures, so that the effect of
moving the Wheels has a greater effect at the extremes of the group;
also the direction of movement reverses at the centre of the group, thus
creating a fan effect from the centre of the group outwards. This can be
applied to any Attribute, not just Pan and Tilt.
The FAN button replaces the old RESTORE CHASE OUTPUT button.
• The RECORD ALL CHANNELS recording mode has been discontinued.
• The Focus Mask can now only be changed in the User Settings menu.
• Certain disk functions have been improved, and you are now
recommended to store your show on MS DOS preformatted 1.44Mb
disks. Currently the desk cannot format these, but in future Software
versions this will be possible. A large show can be stored across several
disks. All Saves are now time and date stamped, and you can enter a
show name to identify the disk.
• Script Files can now automatically execute a Script File when the desk
is powered up. A Script File can be set to loop, if it is running from the
internal clock.
• New Patch Utilities in the Patch menu has new functions, including FIND
FIXTURE, which helps you to locate a Fixture for which you do not know
the DMX Address.
