Chasers; Chaser Displays - Compulite Spark User Manual

If a memory has a wait-out assignment the fade automatically begins a reverse fade after
the assigned wait-out time. During the wait period Wait is displayed in gray on a red
background on the Controller display. Example: Memory 1 fade times are time-in 5 and
wait-out 3. The controller handle is at 0%. Initiate a fade. The memory fades to Full in 5
seconds, waits 3 seconds and fades back to 0 in 5 seconds.
A group of channels/spots fades in the Default Memory Time.

Chasers

Chasers can be assigned to and run on 10 controllers simultaneously.
There are 2 playback modes for chasers: hard and soft. Hard chasers automatically step
from memory to memory in 1/10 of recorded memory time. Soft chasers fade from
memory to memory in recorded memory time. All time elements are implemented – time-
in, time-out, delay, wait–in, wait–out. Chasers run automatically or can be stepped
through manually.
Chasers can also be run using Sound-to-Light input.
Chasers are assigned to controllers in Assign mode.

Note
The controller handle must be off its 0 end stop when running a chaser that includes the
dimmer parameter. Chasers that include parameters other than dimmer parameter are not
dependent on the controller handle position.

Chaser displays

There are two displays that provide chaser information. The Assign mode controller
display shows all of the chaser assignments. The dedicated chaser controller display
provides more detailed information pertaining to chaser status.
