RECORDING SCENES

A "scene" is a recording of the state of the entire stage. Show Designer 1 keeps
track of all the actions you take to make the stage appear as it does. Anything
that affects the look of the stage such as changing channel levels, calling a chase
or calling a preset, is recorded in the scene buffer so that you can save these things
as a scene. This method of scene programming lets you edit existing scenes quickly.
Just call a saved scene, change something and resave.
Once you have a look on stage that you want to save as a scene, press "record",
its LED will flash. Next press "scene", its LED will also flash. The page display will light
and any number locations that already contain scenes will also light. You can at
this time enter a name for the scene as well as a crossfade time. Use the cursor
switches to move the cursor under each character of the name, then use the + or -
switch or the data wheel to modify the name characters. Move the cursor under
the fade time then use the data wheel or the + and - switches to change the

crossfade time.

To finish recording the scene, select the page and scene number. You can use
the page switches to select from pages 1 to 64 and the number switches from 1 to
16 allowing you to store up to 1024 scenes. If you select a scene number that is
already lit, a message will appear asking if you want to write over the existing
scene. Press "yes" or "no". If at any time you wish to exit record mode without
recording anything, press the "record" switch and you will exit record mode.
NOTE: It can take several seconds to overwrite or erase a scene depending on how
much memory is currently in use.
