7.7.1 Insert and add scenes
When you start from scratch, there are no scenes present in the editor. The scene counter is at 0.
1. Create your first scene in the programmer.
2. Press [STORE] to lock the scene in the editor.
When you store the first time, the scene counter will increment to 1.
The Xciter will not let you store an empty scene (all channels transparent).
If you wish to create a single scene, skip the following steps.
The moment you add a second scene, the scene editor becomes the sequence editor. That should not
bother you, because both editors are exactly the same.
3. Use ARROW to scroll though your scenes.
As you scroll through existing scenes, Xciter will also load them in the programmer, thus they will be visible
on stage. Lit number keys indicate devices that are participating in the current scene.
4. Press {Add} to add a new step behind the last or press {Insert} to insert a new step before the current.
Note that the scene counter increments. To make programming easier, Xciter copies the previous scene to
the newly created step, thus keeping the values in the programmer.
5. Modify the current scene in the programmer. Example: Change the value on the color wheel.
6. Press [STORE] to lock the scene.
7. Repeat steps 3-6 until you have created the sequence.
Beware that the sequence you just created is not yet stored to memory; it is still inside the editor and will be
lost if you exit without storing. Refer to the chapter store if you wish to store now.
7.7.2 Modify scene and fade time
Often you will need timing in a scene or step to make that scene cross over gradually from another.
Observe the following drawing.
