Programming Scenes (Steps) into Chase Patterns: This function allows you to turn on specific channels (1-16) at one time to be programmed into a Chase. This controller stores 60 CHASE PAT- TERNS, 1-30 are user programmable and 31-60 are preset and cannot be changed. You may program SCENES into CHASE PATTERNS 1-30 only. To program a scene:

1.Press and hold down the PROGRAM BUTTON (23) for two seconds. The green program LED will turn on indicating you are in program mode.

2.At this point the display should read 01:01.The first two digits display the CHASE bank and the second pair of digits displays the SCENE bank.

3.Use these PATTERN BUTTONS (18 & 19) to select a CHASE bank to store the scenes you are about to create.

4.Once you have selected a CHASE bank, you may begin to adjust the channels (1-16) to your liking.

5.Once you have adjusted the channels to your desired settings press the PROGRAM BUTTON (23) once to record your scene into memory. When you press the PROGRAM BUTTON (23), all the channel LED’s will flash indicating the scene has been stored into memory. The right two digits in the LCD DISPLAY (6) will advance to the next available step.

6.You may continue this pattern up to 99 times per each CHASE PATTERN. You may mix and match the top and bottom channel buttons together in a CHASE PATTERN, however, remember that the upper and lower channels chase speeds are controlled separately.

7.When you have completed programming all your steps you must record an “End Step” to finalize your CHASE PATTERN. To program the “End Step,” press and hold down the SHIFT BUTTON (16). While holding down the SHIFT BUTTON (16), press and release the PROGRAM BUTTON (23). You will see all the LEDs flash indicating the “End Step” was successfully programmed.

8.To exit the program mode, press and hold the PROGRAM BUTTON for two (2) seconds.

Running Chase Patterns: This function allows you to automati- cally run one of the 60 CHASE PATTERNS. The speed of these chase’s can be controlled by the DIMMER SPEED (9) and SWITCH SPEED (10) faders. The DIMMER SPEED (9) will control channels 1-8 and SWITCH SPEED will control channels 9-16. To run a chase pattern:

1.Press the CHASE BUTTON (24). The chase LED in the LCD Display

(6) will light indicating you are in CHASE MODE.

2.Use the PATTERN BUTTONS (18 & 19) to select the CHASE PAT- TERN you wish to run.

3.Use the SPEED CONTROLS (9 & 10) to adjust your chase speed and the LEVEL CONTROL (8) to set your output intensity.

Using the Built In Programs: This controller comes with 30 preset programs. These programs are designed to get you up and running in minutes. Programs 31-40 control channels 1-8, 41-50 control channels 9-16, and programs 51-60 combine channels 1-16. Chase Pattern 40 is a combination of 31-39. Chase Pattern 50 is a combination of 41-49. Chase Pattern 60 is a combination of 51-59. These chases can not be changed or edited.
