Modifying Chases
This section deals with modifying
programmed chase memories.
Editing chase memories is performed
on two different levels:
The first level of editing is for inserting,
overwriting or deleting steps and
adjusting the chase modifiers.
The second level is for editing the
channel data of a single chase step.
Entering Edit Mode (Live)
1. Select a programmed chase
memory.
2. Press the EDIT button. The light
in the EDIT button flashes.
The first step of the selected
memory is faded up and output
live on the DMX (ensure that the
Playback X MASTER is at full).
Any outputs resulting from the
Current memory on Playback X
are faded out.
Any outputs from the preset
faders or submasters are mixed in
as normal.
Therefore to ensure that only the
selected memory is output live, all
presets and submasters should
be set to zero.
The main LCD shows:
Edit Memory: 23
Step: <1>
(Set Modifiers)
[Finish]
3. Use the + and - keys to select the
required step. The selected step
is output live on the DMX.
Entering Edit Mode (Blind)

memory.
2. Press the PREVIEW button on
the front panel.

Inserting a Step
1. Select a programmed chase and
enter Edit mode (see earlier).
2. Use the + and - keys to select the
step before where you wish to
insert the new step. For example,
to insert a step after step 4, select
step 4:
Edit Memory: 23
Step: <4>
(Set Modifiers)
[Finish]
3. Press the INSERT key. A new
unprogrammed step is inserted
after the current step. The LCD
displays the new step:
Edit Memory: 23
Step: <5*>
(Set Modifiers)
[Finish]
4. Set the levels of the generic
channels in the same way as
programming a step in a new
chase memory (see page 4-5).
5. Set the levels of the fixture
channels as required.
6. Add movement effects, if
required.
7. Press the PROGRAM button to
save the output data.
The ‘*’ is removed from the step
number to indicate it is now
programmed. Any original steps in
the chase after the inserted step
are renumbered accordingly.
