in the UP position). The hold feature can only be activated and deactivated with playbacks in
these positions. Press the hold key (The hold LED will now be on), move playback A's
master to 0 while moving playback B's master to 10 (both down). During the crossfade, the
hold LED will be flashing. Although no levels are changing, all levels are now held from the
moment the masters begin to move.
The LCD will also support this by the Preset B:HOLD flashing.
The current fader settings will now be recorded into hold's memory. (The hold LED will stop
flashing but remain on indicating the activation of the hold feature. The operator is now free
to reset all channel faders to the levels for the next cue. Once the channel faders are set,
crossfade playback A's master back to 10 and playback B's master back to 0. (During
crossfade the hold LED will flash) After a crossfade is completed, the second cue will now
be outputting live. (The hold LED will still be on) Repeat the above step for the next
crossfade or press hold again to release the hold function. After pressing hold, the hold LED
will turn off.
Also note, that playback B is now the master for the held scene. So if playback B is moved
to 0 (UP) then the held state fades out.
The hold feature only works in single scene mode.

Time Fades for Hold

Smooth timed crossfades between the held and active scene can be
achieved by setting the time fade faders. The left fader is for all levels that
are going up (IN) and the right fader is for all levels going down (OUT). (i.e.
If the operator is crossfading out of a held scene and into the current fader
levels, then the in fader will affect the time of the current fader levels
coming in while the out fader will affect the time of the held scene going out).
Note: All crossfades done in this manner are dipless.

In single scene mode only, using hold allows the operator to freeze all
dimmer output and manually reset the levels for all faders to create a
different look on stage. Here's how it works...
Select current settings with channel faders. Make sure playback A
master is at 10 and playback B master is at 0. (That's both playbacks
