b) Having a Memory recorded on it, but with the Playback Fader at zero
c) Having a Chase recorded on it which is both at zero and set to FADER RELOADS
CHASE mode in the Chase Parameters.
⇒ A Preset Focus recalled with time in this way does NOT sit in the
Programmer, but in the playback area. This means that although the
Preset Focus is not controllable from a Playback Fader, it can be
overridden by activating another Playback Fader containing the same
Attributes without pressing CLEAR.
This means that you can, for example, put a Fixture into yellow cones
and execute a two second sweep to the stage. You can then run a Pan
and Tilt Chase without Clearing the Programmer, which would lose the
yellow cones. This is a very powerful feature allowing preprogrammed
Memories and Chases to be integrated with busked effects.

Either :
• Press the VIEW button.

8.13 Switching OFF Attributes in Preset Focuses
In the same way that you can switch OFF Fixtures and Attributes in a
Memory or Chase Step, you can use OFF to mask Fixtures and Attributes
stored in a Preset Focus, so that they do not get recalled.
• Press the ADD button of a Preset Focus from 1 – 30.
