NOTES
Programming Chases
The chase will also run live on the outputs
when the cursor is on the Col Action, B/S
Action, Pos Action or Shots field on the LCD.
When running the chase live and editing the
modifiers, the Playback X MASTER fader
should be at full.
In a Partial chase memory, the “tagged”
fixtures and attribute selection applies to ALL
the steps in the chase.
Beat Drive
The Beat Drive option is indicated on the
front panel by having both the BASS and
MAN lights lit.
When programming a chase memory, set the
Drive modifier to Beat, and then set the
actual beat speed by tapping the STEP
button in the Playback X section of the front
panel.
