Presets

The DS dimmer has the capacity for 400 presets with time fade. The first 12 presets correspond to the analog
submasters described in section 5. The remainder of the presets, termed "deep presets" are capable of being started
manually from the front panel, or triggered by an analog input channel. These 388 deep presets feature 0 to 999.9
second dipless cross fade times, and hold times of between .1 to 999.9 second or forever. These deep presets can
also be linked, so that a chase effect can be created. This section has been divided into three sub sections, Editing
deep presets, running deep presets, and analog triggered deep presets
