Overstoring
If the scene number does exist, the display will respond with ‘OVERSTORE’. To update the scene
press ‘YES’. The existing scene will be replaced with the current status of the console.
Pressing ‘NO’ will abandon the store procedure without taking any further action.
X-FADE (Crossfade).
This allows the faders crossfade speed to be adjusted from 0.5 to 10 seconds in 99 equal steps.
The speed is set using the jogwheel, pressing ‘YES’ then stores the scene.
WARNING When editing the crossfade speed it is important to note that the speed you leave set in the
left hand window will be applied to any scene stored or overstored after.
Expand.
This is used to set the scene number increment value to use the decimal places. This is used when the
number of expected scenes is greater than 99. It causes the auto-increment to step in 0.1 steps instead of 1.
Insert
This option allows extra scenes to be inserted between existing scenes. To insert a new scene dial up the
number of the scene that you wish to come aafter the new scene. The scene will be inserted bbefore the
scene displayed.
The new scene will be given the number of the previous scene plus point five.
Once an extra scene has been added, decimal place numbered scenes will be accessible between the
previous scene with a whole number and the next scene with a whole number.
This can occur to two levels, that is scenes may be stored between decimal place numbered scenes using
the ‘hundredths’ digit as well.
Delete
This option is used to delete the current scene from memory. There is currently no way to restore a scene
once it has been deleted, so this function should be used with caution.
Edit
EDIT calls up a further sub-menu for editing facilities.
Sc. NAME
To enter or edit a scene name, dial up this option and press ‘YES’.
The character in the left hand position of the scene name display may then be adjusted using the
jogwheel. When the desired character is visible, press ‘YES’ again and the character will be stored. The
next character on the right may then be adjusted. Continue until all eight characters have been entered,
when the normal system operation will resume. To leave a character as it is, press ‘YES without moving
the jogwheel.
