14. Overlap Function

Overlap is a powerful function which makes the fixtures run the same effect with delay. The Overlap must
be switched on (see page 31, The Global Time of a Chase) and scene mode must be set to Mode 2, for
this function to work. The scene will play the overlap effect, as you move the playback slider up. If the
scene is set to instant time, then the overlap effect will play as the fade time runs. There are the following
options in the menu.
 Quick Group: Press <E> to enter. Turn the Wheel V to set the number of quick groups. The adjustment
range is between 0-80. The fixtures in the step can be divided into groups. Fixtures from the same
group will act the same.
 Advanced Group: Sometimes it is useful to have several fixtures to run a shape as a group. In this
case, you can use the Group function. Press <A> [Advanced Group] to enter. The menu contains the
following options:
 Number of groups: The number of groups which we need to define. By setting Spread, you can
select the group quantity, not fixture quantity.
 Group number: The fixture buttons of the group number will light up. To add a fixture to the
group number, press the desired fixture button until it lights up. If you press any button by
mistake, you will need to return to the settings of the original fixture group.
 Group -> <-: Outward auto grouping
 Group <- ->: Inward auto grouping
 Auto group: The fixtures will automatically be grouped, in a consequent order.
 Increase group: The fixtures will be grouped with an add-on number.
 Reset: Reset the group number to fixture number and group again automatically.

15. Priority

The playback priority levels define how the playbacks run. The priority can be set to different levels:
Lowest/Low/Normal/High/Highest. The default priority for a new playback is set to Normal. When you run
a new playback, which has the same priority as the current playback, then the current playback will be
replaced by the new playback. However, if the new playback is of lower priority than the current
playback, then the current playback will keep on running, instead of the new one. Set the priority in Edit
Time menu.
