6. SEQUENCE OF PERFORMANCES (CHAIN MODE)

6.1 FOREWORD ON CHAIN MODE

The term "Chain" refers to a sequence of Performances alternative to the standard sequence P001 - P128. Chains can be
selected by the user under PERFORMANCE MODE. The system supports up to 10 programmable Chains, that can be
recalled at any moment by selecting the CHAIN mode. A Chain consist of a maximum of 128 steps, that is, 128 locations
associated to a Performance. The normal sequence of Performances is P001, P002, P003, etc. A Chain can associate
Performance P013 to Step 1, P004 to Step 2, P054 to Step 3 and so on. When recalled, such a Chain will recall
Performances according to the desired order: P013, P004, P054. The same Performance can be associated to more than
one Step, making it easier to use the same Performance more than once, without scrolling.

6.2 SELECTING A CHAIN

To recall a Chain, first press the [CHAIN] button in the MODE section of the front panel. The following page will appear:
Press [F1] to navigate Chains.
The Chain Name field indicates the list name; it can be modified when programming a Chain (see chap. 6.3).
The Chain Step list shows all steps of the Chain, and the Performance assigned to each step. Empty steps are visualized
as a string of dashes ("----------------").
To scroll through steps, press [ ] to place the cursor on the list, then use the arrow buttons [ ] and [ ] to scroll.
To activate the currently selected list, place the cursor on the CHAIN MODE field and select ON. To disable the CHAIN
Mode select OFF.
Once you see the list that you want to activate in the CHAIN MODE field, select ON. To turn off the CHAIN mode, select
OFF.
Press [CHAIN] or [EXIT] to return to the PERFORANCE MODE page:
On the top left there is a field called CHAIN STEP, indicating the currently selected step. This field also reminds that
CHAIN MODE is active, and that the sequence of Performances is different from P001 – P128.
The first Performance of a Chain is not loaded yet, however, not to alter the current situation. To load the first step of a
Chain, press [SHIFT] and [DEC] at the same time.
To select the next step, press [SHIFT] and [INC] at the same time, performing the CHAIN < function.
To select the previous step, press [SHIFT] and [DEC] at the same time, performing the CHAIN < function.
Even though the Chain is active, it is possible to follow the normal sequence (P001 - P128) by following the standard
procedure (Encoder, KEYPAD buttons, [DEC] and [INC] buttons).
To leave CHAIN MODE, press [CHAIN] and set the Chain Enable parameter as OFF.
