Sequences - ETC Desire XTI Series User Manual

Sequences

A Sequence is a timed series of Presets. Up to 12 different Sequences may be altered for Preset
selections, cross fade rate, and link time. Only one Preset within a sequence can be active at a time.
You can create your own custom sequence that includes two or more Presets. For example, you may
want to sequence through Presets 2, 4, 23, and 1, in that order. As you enter these into the sequence,
you also can set the rate and link time for each step.
As you edit the sequence settings, the change is updated live in the fixture's memory.

The number of the step in the sequence to be edited.
The number of a Preset, whether it is a predefined or a custom color mix.
The length of time the fixture waits before moving from one Preset to the next.
The format is minutes:seconds (mm:ss). The default is 2 seconds.
The execution of the Presets' Fade Times and Delay Times within the Sequence,
relative to their settings within the actual Presets. The available Rate range is 2
to 500%. The default is 100%.
• A Rate of 100% represents running the Sequence with timing exactly as
specified within the Presets. A Rate above 100% represents running the
Sequence with faster timing than specified within the Presets. For example,
with a Rate of 200%, a Preset with a Fade Time of 6 seconds would actually
be run within the Sequence in only 3 seconds.
• A Rate below 100% represents running the Sequence with slower timing
than specified within the Presets. For example, with a Rate of 50%, a Preset
with a Fade Time of 6 seconds would actually be run within the Sequence in
12 seconds.
What the fixture does once it completes the Sequence (either Loop or Bounce).
Either option repeats indefinitely until the Sequence is deactivated. To end the
sequence, you must program an additional and final step within the sequence
using Preset 0. Preset 0 marks the end of the Sequence. Preset 0 may only be
used once within a Sequence. If you want the Sequence to repeat
automatically, you may only define up to 23 steps with Presets 1 through 24,
since the final step must be reserved for Preset 0.
• Loop: Once the fixture completes the entire sequence, it immediately returns
to the beginning and starts the sequence over again, in order.
• Bounce: Once the fixture completes the entire sequence, it reverses the order
of the presets and steps backward through them until reaching the starting
step, at which point it starts the Sequence over again, in the original order.
