7) Once you have set all the LEDs you require press the Playback button you had previously selected. (It is
the one that is flashing on the Preset B row of flash buttons.)

save the scene. If you wish to record a chase do not press the RECORD key go to the step below.
9) If you wish to record a chase then repeat the steps above to set the LEDs for the next step. Each time you
press the Flash button of the playback you will see the Scene increment in the lower left of the LCD
window.
10) Once you have finished recording all the steps you require press the RECORD key. This will store the
playback into the consoles memory. If you wish to exit without recording anything press the MENU key.
Note: After you have recorded a step, pressing the RELEASE key to the left of the LCD will empty the programmer.
If you wish to build on the current scene do not empty the programmer. When you have finished recording a chase it
is a good idea to use the RELEASE key to reset the LEDs before playing back a chase.
When recording, you can choose to stored only changed information (Record by Channel) or all parameters in the
selected fixture (Record by Fixture). To access this function use the SOFTKEY D "Next" to go to the second page of
the LCD menu. You can toggle between Record by Fixture and Record by Channel by using SOFTKEY A .
You can also set a chase to run in a loop. To access this function use the SOFTKEY D "Next" to go to the second
page of the LCD menu. You can toggle between "Loop On" and "Loop Off" by using SOFTKEY B . If you choose
"Loop Off" the chase will only run through one full cycle before stopping. To retrigger the chase you will need to
lower the fader for that chase and retrigger it by raising the fader.
Timing for LEDs
It is possible to set a time for each step and a wait time. To do this, use the STEP RATE fader and the FD/ST TIME
key. If the FD/ST TIME key is red the fader will be setting the fade time and if it is green it will be setting the wait
time.
Playing Back a LED Scene or Chase.
To play back a scene or chase raise the relevant playback fader, the buttons under the faders with a scene or chase
recorded in them will turn red. The chase will begin to run. The Flash button under the fader will flash to tell you the
chase is running. You will be able to see the values for the moving light changing on the monitor display as the chase
runs. If you select a moving light by pressing its flash button you will be able to see the attribute values changing in
the bottom right window of the monitor as the chase runs.
If you wish to play a chase back manually then press the Flash button for that chase, it will turn green to show it is in
manual mode. You can now use the GO/STEP button to manually trigger each step. It is possible to select multiple
chases to trigger them manually.
To stop a Chase running or to stop outputting a scene, lower the fader to zero.
Editing a Scene or Chase
It is possible to edit a scene or chase that you have recorded. To do this you need to go into the LED menu function by
selecting the MENU key while in the LED mode.
