OPERATION/Two-Scene (continued)
SUBMASTER SECTION (3)
The controls grouped into the submaster section are the A, B, C, and D submaster sliders and
corresponding bump buttons. Each submaster controls a group of channels, and in turn is
controlled by the Grand Master (through the crossfader). The channels that each submaster
controls are selected by the channel selector switches as described in the next section.
CHANNEL SECTION (4)
The controls grouped into the channel section are all the channel sliders, and the associated
submaster selector switches. Up until this point, the controls that have been discussed typically
affect a group of channels. The sliders and switches in the channel section affect only their own
channel, that is the controls for channel 1 have no affect on the output of channel 2 or any other
channel. On the Procon II there are four controls for each channel (five if you count the momentary
button described below). These controls are the two sliders (X and Y scene) and a submaster
selector switch for each slider. Each channel's output level is dependent on the settings of a
number of sliders and switches. The various possibilities of switch settings are numerous. A few
of the possibilities are discussed here and should give the user a fair understanding of the versatility
of the Procon II.
Standard two scene operation without submastering can be accomplished by placing all the
submaster sliders at full. Since the submasters are all at full, the position of the submaster
selector switches on each channel does not affect the output, however in the interest of neatness,
it is recommended that all the switches be switched either up or down. In this configuration, the
Grand Master controls the overall level of all channels and the crossfaders are used to fade from
the X scene to the Y scene.
Two scene operation with submastering is the same as above, except the submasters may be used
to adjust the overall level of the channels which are switched to them. In this configuration some
of the channels in each scene will be switched to one submaster and some to the other. The
crossfader controls which two submasters are active; A & B are active if in the X scene, C & D
are active if in the Y scene.
EFFECTS SECTION (5)
The controls grouped into the effects section are the bump controls: bump on/off switch, and
bump buttons on each channel and each submaster, and the chase controls: chase on/off switch,
forward/reverse switch, 8-channel/4-channel switch, rate slider, and level slider. The bump
buttons (also called momentary or flash buttons) are used to alter the channel (or submaster)
level to full without moving the slider. The bump on/off switch disables the bump buttons when
in the off position. When the bump switch is on, the bump button adds the channel to the output
of the console just as if the associated slider had been moved to full.
