Erase Show; Editing Shows; Recalling Shows - American DJ Show Designer Instruction Manual

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

ERASE SHOW

To erase an existing show, press "Record" then "Show" then "Erase". As when recording a show, all
LEDs that contain a show will light. Next select the show to erase. That show name will appear in the
LCD. The message "Erase This?" will also appear. Press "yes" or "no". If you press "yes" the show will
be erased. Erase show only works when there is no show currently being edited. While editing a show,
"erase" is used to erase show steps. You can abort show 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 show depending on how much of the memory
is currently filled.

EDITING SHOWS

To edit a show that has already been recorded, press "Record" followed by "Show". Instead of entering
steps for a new show, press the show number of the one you want to edit. The message "Edit this
existing show?" will appear in the display. Press "Yes" and the show will be called up and you can add to
it or modify it by selecting steps and changing any value. You can use the erase switch to remove the
current step. 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 show step here. Press "Yes" to insert an empty show step at
the current step number. All following show steps will be moved up one number. Once the empty step is
added you can record a scene or time value there.
When using "real time" display, whenever you change the time for a show step, all of the times for the
following steps will be adjusted by the same amount. The time intervals between scene steps will stay the
same. If for example you change the time for step 2 to be 1 second later, steps 3, 4, 5 etc. will also appear
one second later as well. These are the times as measured from the start of the show. This is not an issue
when using "hold time" display.
After making changes to the show you can store it at the same or at a new location by pressing any show
number. Make sure the scene LED is turned off. You can use this method to copy a show to another
memory location by calling it for edit and then saving it without making any changes.

RECALLING SHOWS

To run a show, press the "Show" switch, then select the desired page and number switch. You can only
run one show at a time since shows call scenes and only one scene can be on at a time. The name of the
show will be displayed on the top line of the LCD and the bottom line will display the current scene and
time. When using real time display, the clock will start at 00:00:00.0 when you start the show. If the
show is set to loop, it will restart after the end step. It is important to have a time assigned to the "End"
step to allow a delay between calling the last scene of the show and the start of the first scene of the show
when looping. If the show is set to play once through, the show will stop on the last scene.
When using "hold time" display, the hold times will be shown at the start of each step and will count
down before calling the next step.
Pressing the "Black" switch will pause a show as well as blacking out the fixtures. Pressing black again
will resume the show and turn the fixtures back on. If you press black and hold it for 1 second the show
will be turned off. If you press the number switch of the show that is currently running the show will be
