Erase Chase; Editing Chases; Recalling Chases - American DJ Show Designer Instruction Manual

Note: It can take up to 30 seconds to overwrite or erase a chase depending on how much of the memory
is currently filled.
After you have stored the chase, Show Designer remains in chase record mode allowing you to continue
to edit the chase. To exit record mode, press "Record", the LEDs will stop flashing.

ERASE CHASE

To erase an existing chase, press "Record" then "Chase" then "Erase". As when recording a chase, all
LEDs that contain a chase will light. Next select the chase to erase. The chase name will appear in the
LCD and the message "Erase This?" will also appear. Press "yes" or "no". If you press "yes" the chase
will be erased. Erase chase only works when there is no chase being edited. While editing a chase,
"erase" is used to erase the chase steps. You can abort chase erase at any time by either pressing "No" or
exiting record mode by pressing the record switch.
Note: It can take up to 30 seconds to overwrite or erase a chase depending on how much of the memory
is currently filled.

EDITING CHASES

To edit a chase that has already been recorded, press "Record" followed by "Chase". Before making any
channel changes, press the chase number of the one you want to edit. The message "Edit this existing
chase?" will appear in the display. Press "Yes" and the chase will be called up and you can add to it or
modify it by selecting steps and changing any channel levels. You can also use the erase switch to remove
the contents of the current step or if the step is empty, remove the step entirely. You can also insert
additional steps at the current step number by pressing "Add". You will be prompted whether or not to
add an empty chase step here. Press "Yes" to insert an empty chase step at the current step number. All
following chase steps will be moved up one number. Once the empty step is added you can record
channel levels or presets there.
After making changes to the chase you can store it at the same memory location or at a new location by
selecting the page and by pressing the number switch. You can also use this method to copy a chase to
another location by saving it without making any changes. The color and beam LEDs must be off before
saving the chase.

RECALLING CHASES

To run a chase, press the chase switch, then select the desired page and number switch. The chase will
begin to run at the default speed that was set when it was recorded. Pressing the switch of a chase that is
running will turn it off. You can run more than one chase (up to 8) as long as they are chasing different
channels.
You can adjust the speed of any chase that is running by pressing the "Speed" switch next to the wheel.
The LED will light and the display will show the name of the chase on the top line and the page and chase
number on the bottom line along with the current speed in beats per minute (BPM). Turning the wheel
will adjust the speed as the chase is running. If more than one chase is running, pressing one of the
cursor switches or the + and - switches will bring up the next running chase in the display. Any speed
changes that are made will be saved if you record the current scene. This allows you to reuse the same
chase in different scenes at different speeds.
Likewise the chase fade rate can be adjusted for each chase that is running. Use the same method as was
described in the previous paragraphs for adjusting the chase speed.
