Working with Scenes

A scene consists of a built-in effect and user-editable effect settings. ColorDial Pro has
eight scenes, 1 – 8. When you select a scene, it automatically displays on all connected
lighting fixtures.
You can edit the currently playing scene by changing its assigned effect and associated
effect settings. You can preserve your changes by saving them as a scene.

1 – 8, in order.

In Playback Mode, turn the rotary dial.
To turn off lights and to resume playback of the current scene:
In Playback Mode, press and quickly release the rotary dial to pause current scene
playback. The screen displays OFF and the brightness is set to 0%.
Press and quickly release the rotary dial again to resume current scene playback
at the previous brightness level, or turn the rotary dial clockwise to increase the
