selected in the programmer, the "next/previous" buttons will cycle through those fixtures based
on the order in which they were entered into the programmer.

The Maxxyz uses 14 faders, 10 of which are motorized and the function of which is covered later
in this manual. Here we will concern ourselves only with the four non-motorized faders and their
associated bump buttons.

Maxxyz utilizes two Group Masters, labeled "A" and "B." These can be programmed to master
the intensity of any individual or group of fixtures. Please note that just as with the Grand Master,
the A and B submasters can not be used to raise the levels of fixtures, but can only be used to
limit their intensity. To program the Group Masters:
1 Select the fixtures that you wish to have controlled by the submaster (see"Selecting Fixtures" on
page 39 for information on selecting fixtures).
2 Press Record and either the A or B hard key above the desired Group Master fader.
As with the Grand Master, the hard keys directly above the Group Master sliders will function as
a "flash" button for the contents of that group.

Located on the front of the console on the right hand side you will find the controls for operator
audio. These include>
• Speaker Volume
• (Head)Phones Volume
• Intercom
• Mic Volume
• Mic In
• Speech On/Off.
With the current release of Maxxyz, only "Speaker Volume" and "Phones Volume" are used.
"Speaker Volume" controls the level of the built-in speaker system when playing CDs or DVDs
while "Phones Volume" controls the output to the headset jacks.

The Grand Master is located at the top center of the console. It is
consistent with the function of the Grand Master found on most other
boards in that it masters the intensity output channels of all other control
devices on the console including the programmer. However, please note
that while the programmer output is limited by the GM, the values in the
programmer remain unaffected. Therefore, if you were to record a cue
with the GM down, the intensity values in the programmer would still be
recorded into the cue, although their output would not be visible on
stage. The GM fader can be overridden by the GM hard key directly
above the fader. The GM hard key acts as a "flash" and pressing and
holding the key has the same effect as if the GM fader were at full.
The Flash Master is not currently implemented.
The A & B Group Masters are similar in function to the Grand Master
except they can be programmed to master only those fixtures you
specify. See below for information on programming the Group Masters
