Note: If when recalling a preset, some channels are changed that weren't intended as part of the preset,
chances are that a fader was bumped or the trackball was bumped and those channels were accidentally
added when the preset was being recorded. If this happens, go back and rerecord the preset.
If you need to turn different fixtures on or off while recording the preset you can press "Fixture" and then
use the number switches to toggle any fixtures on or off. Press "Fixture" again to turn off the fixture LED
to go back to recording the preset.
At any time while recording the preset you can enter a name for the preset. Use the cursor switches to
move the cursor on the LCD under each character then use the + or - switch or the data wheel to modify
the characters of the name.
To store the preset in memory, select the number where you want to store it. If you select a number that is
already lit, a message will appear asking if you want to write over the existing preset. Press "yes" or
"no". You can use the page switches to select from pages 1 to 16 which will allow you to store up to 256
color presets and 256 beam presets. Page 0 is reserved for factory presets.
Note: It can take up to 30 seconds to overwrite or erase a preset depending on how much of the memory
is currently filled.
After you have stored the preset, Show Designer remains in preset record mode allowing you to continue
to record more presets. Any channel changes that you have made since entering preset record mode will
be included in any additional presets.
To exit record mode, press "Record", the LEDs will stop flashing.

ERASE PRESET

To erase an existing preset, press "Record" then "Color" or "Beam" then "Erase". As when recording a
preset, all LEDs that contain a preset will light. Next select the preset to erase. That preset name will
appear in the LCD. The message "Erase This?" will also appear. Press "yes" or "no". If you press "yes"
the preset will be erased. You can then select additional presets to be erased or you can press "Record"
again to exit record mode.
Note: It can take up to 30 seconds to overwrite or erase a preset depending on how much of the memory
is currently filled.

EDITING PRESETS

To edit a preset that has already been recorded, press "Record" followed by "Color" or "Beam". Before
making any channel changes, press the preset number of the one you want to edit. The message "Edit this
existing preset?" will appear in the display. Press "Yes" and the preset will be called up and you can add
to it or modify it by changing any channel levels. After making changes you can store it at the same or at a
new location by pressing any preset number. You can also use this method to copy a preset to another
location by saving it without making any changes.

COMBINING PRESETS

You can add existing presets to any preset you are currently working on. While in preset record mode
press the "Add" switch followed by any preset number that has something recorded on it. The channel
settings will be added to the preset you are currently recording. You can add as many presets as you
wish. You can use this to mix several smaller presets into a single larger one. If two presets control the
same channels, the channel levels from the last one added will have precedence.
