BEAT
The beat switch lets you override the step time or beat of a chase by tapping on the switch in
time to music that is playing. The LED will flash in time to the beat that is tapped in. Any
chases that are running will sync to this beat unless the speed has been locked for the chase.
Read the previous chapter on recording chases as to how to lock the chase speed. Pressing the
beat switch will automatically turn off audio. To turn off the beat, press and hold the beat
switch for one second. The beat switch state and beat tempo are not stored when recording a
scene.
BLACKOUT
Pressing the blackout switch will stop all chases, shows and temporarily blackout all fixtures.
Depending on the type of fixture and its capabilities, blackout will either close the shutter or
set the dimmer to 0. The blackout will remain in effect as long as the blackout LED is lit.
Pressing the blackout switch a second time will toggle the LED off, restart any chases or shows
and restore all channels to their previous settings.
Clear All Channels Function: Pressing and holding the blackout switch for 2 seconds will
force all DMX channels to 0 and clear the scene buffer. This function is useful when
programming new scenes. You can also select a default home scene that will be called
whenever you do this. Refer to the menu chapter of this manual under “Select Home Scene” for
instructions on how to do this. You can use any scene that you have already saved as the home
scene.
GRAND MASTER FADER
The grand master fader is used to scale the outputs of all conventional dimmers as well as the
dimmer channels of your light fixtures. You can program any channel within a fixture to allow
grand master control. Consult “modify fixture” in the menu chapter for more details.
The grand master flash switch operates as latching on/off and brings the grand master level to
the maximum setting. If for any reason the grand master fader breaks or wears out, press the
grand master flash to override the fader so you still have dimmer output.
FLEX MASTER FADER
The flex master fader is used to scale the outputs of all conventional dimmers. It is also subject
to the level of the grand master fader. The flex master flash switch operates as latching on/off
and brings the flex master level to the maximum setting. If for any reason the flex master fader
fails, turn on the flash switch to override the fader.
