EDITING CHASES

To edit an existing chase, press "RECORD" followed by "CHASE". Before making any
channel changes, press the number of the chase that you want to edit. The
message "Edit This Existing Chase?" will appear in the display. Press "YES" and the
chase will be called up and you can add to it or modify it by selecting steps and
changing any channel levels. You can also use the "ERASE" switch to remove the
contents of the current step or if the step is empty, remove the step entirely. You
can also insert additional empty steps at the current step by pressing "ADD". You
will be prompted whether or not to add an empty chase step here.
Press "YES" to insert a step at the current step number. All following chase steps will
be moved up one number. Once the new step is added you can record channel
levels or presets there.
After you have finished editing the chase you can store it at the same memory
location or at a new location by selecting a page and by pressing a number
switch. You can also use this method to copy a chase to another location by
saving it without making any changes.

FACTORY CHASES

When you select chase memory pages "F1-F3" (Factory Chases) you have
available 48 preprogrammed pan and tilt chases. Some hard to program
movements such as circles and figure eights can be found here. Unlike chases that
you program yourself, you must first select the fixtures you want to include before
you turn on factory chase.

AUDIO SWITCH

The audio switch enables the audio input as a trigger for chase steps. Pressing the
"AUDIO" switch turns on its LED. It will flash off briefly whenever an audio beat is
detected at the audio input. Any chases that are running will sync to this beat
unless the speed has been locked for that chase. Read the previous section on
recording chases regarding how to lock the chase speed. Turning on "AUDIO" will
automatically turn off "Beat". The audio switch state is not stored with a scene.

BEAT SWITCH

The beat switch allows you to override the tempo or beat of a chase by tapping
on the switch in time to any music that is playing. The LED will flash in time to the
beat. Any chases that are running will sync to this beat unless the speed has been
locked for that chase. Read the previous section on recording chases regarding
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; it's a manual control.
