Programming Scenes; Creating A Scene - Chauvet DJ Obey 40 D-Fi 2.4 User Manual

Programming scenes is saving lighting looks to scenes.
II. Programming
Programming scenes is the second part of the programming for playback. And it can be the last part
Scenes
because scenes can be played without being part of a chase. See Scene Playback for more
information.
The Obey™ 40 D-Fi™ 2.4 has 30 banks with 8 scenes each, so saving a scene involves selecting
the bank and the scene.
In scene playback, scenes are played back in number order, by bank. So when programming
for scene playback, make sure the changes from scene 1 to scene 2 to scene 3 make sense.
