7.6 Stepping through a Chase
The STOP button also steps on through a stopped Connected Chase.
⇒ Note that when stepping through a Chase in this fashion, the steps will
be executed without any timing information that may be programmed in
them.
7.7 Changing the direction of a Chase
You can change the direction of a Connected Chase by using the three
Arrow Keys at the bottom of the Sequence Control area. The Right and
Left Arrows send the Chase Forwards and Backwards respectively, and
the Double-Ended Arrow makes the Chase Bounce backwards and
forwards, with the Right or Left Arrow indicating which direction it is currently
going in.
You can also use the Forwards and Backwards keys to step through a
Stopped Chase in the direction indicated by the arrow
7.8 Automatically connecting to a Chase
It may be useful to always have the Chase controls connected to the most
recently replayed Chase. User Setting 9 gives you this option and is set or
cleared as follows :
• Turn the Key to Program. Puts you in Live Program Mode menu.
Use the Up and Down Cursor Keys to move up and down the Menu to
Autoconnect option (Setting 9).
Use the Left and Right Cursor Keys to toggle between YES and NO.
Enabling the Chase Autoconnect means that the most recently replayed
Chase will automatically be Connected to the Wheel(s).
As you change Pages and Facets on the Roller, the most recently
Connected Chase on each page or Facet will Autoconnect.
Use this Mode for fast access to Chases as they are replayed.
7.9 Putting Times into Chases
You may want your Chase to have Fade Time information programmed into
it. There are two ways of doing this.
7.9.1 Global times Chases
Global times set Fade and Wait parameters that are applied to steps in a
Chase. Chase steps which use Global times are called Simple Steps.
Global Times can either be entered by using the Wheels as described in
Section 7.4 Adjusting the Speed and Crossfade of your Chase, or using the
EDIT TIMES menu from the Live Program menu. When the EDIT TIMES
menu is used in this way, it is called the Global Times menu. See Section
7.10 The EDIT TIMES menu.
• Press Softbutton B [USER SETTINGS]. Puts you in the User Settings Menu.
