Audio Sync; Snapshot - NSI MC 6300 Operation Manual

MC 6300
Software Revision 1.00 and above
The LCD displays the Stack information as follows:
An asterisks in both step fields indicate that the Stack is empty and not programmed. An
asterisks in the Next Step field only indicates that the Stack will be cleared the next time
the Go button is pressed. An asterisks in the Current Step field only indicates that the Stack
is presently cleared.
The Stack always executes steps in numerical order from the first or selected step, starting
over when the blackout step (asterisks) has been reached. Any step may be directly accessed
by using the Next or Previous buttons.
Pressing the Stack Go button will cause the current step to fade out and the next step to fade
in at the preprogrammed fade rate.
Steps may be executed manually by moving the Stack Fade Crossfader control up and down.
Each time the control reaches the end of movement, the step will be advanced.

Audio Sync

An audio signal may be supplied to the console for causing the chase to synchronize to the
beat of the audio and to affect the intensity of predetermined channels.
To synchronize chase activate the audio mode by tapping the audio button until the LED
below it lights. Now activate a chase and move the Chase Rate control to the minimum
position. Move the Audio Sensitivity slide control slowly up until the desired affect is
achieved.
To effect channel intensities select the channels to be affected by audio. Move the corresponding
channel sliders to maximum, while moving all other channel slide controls to minimum.
Press the Program button followed by the Audio button. Now when audio mode is active,
the selected channels will vary intensity to audio level.

Snapshot

The Snapshot Go button can be used to create scenes on the fly. When the Go button is
pressed, a snapshot of the channel slide controls is placed into an autofader and faded to the
current fade rate. The channel sliders can then be moved without effecting the stage levels.
Pressing the Snapshot Go button will then cause the levels generated by the first press of
the Go button to fade to the levels generated by the second press. This process gives the
console a 2 scene type operation. The Snapshot Go LED will be lit whenever this function
is active.
