5.2 Playback chasers

Chaser programs are recalled by their respective buttons like any other
memory. Each step will control output channels according to its STORE
MATRIX. Selective programmed steps keep deselected channels untouched.
A second push on a chaser button will not stop the chase but will make it start
again with step number one. On the MA SCANCOMMANDER always the
latest pushed button has the highest priority. To stop a running chaser, all the
channels, which are actually controlled by the chaser steps, have to be
overwritten by recalling a memory or preset in direct access.
Recalling selective memories may overwrite parts of the channels, controlled
by the chaser. Therefore the chaser looses its priority on these channels,
whereas other channels may still be controlled by the next chaser steps.
A chaser may control color, and movement of the scans. If the
color has been overwritten by recalling a pure color memory or
any color preset in direct access, the chaser will still go on to
control movement, but it has no longer priority over the color. This
makes it possible to do the same movement with different colours.
In the same way a selective memory may control all features of
only one or two scans. Recalling this memory after starting a
chaser will cut down the effect of the chase as it can no longer
control these scans. The rest of the scans will continue with the
chaser steps.
Channels, fixed to their value by the FREEZE function, will no longer be
affected by chaser steps. After clearing the FREEZE the chaser resumes
control of these channels.
