6.1.2Programming memory chase

1.Press the CHASE key (26) to begin programming, as described above.

2.Select a chase using the DATA wheel. The displays shows whether you are dealing with a level chase or a memory chase.

3.Select “MEMORY” with the SOFT B key.

If you selected a level chase and then select “MEMORY” (or vice versa), you are asked (in the display) whether you wish to program a new chase. Select “YES” to overwrite the previous chase.

4.Select a storage bank using the UP/DOWN keys (19) and select a memory by pressing a FLASH key. This is indicated on the control lights.

Fig. 6.3: Display “programming memory chase”

The displays indicates the memory and the storage bank in which the selected memory is located. Example:

STEP: 01 09 (memory) 04 (bank).

5.Confirm your choice with SOFT A (“ENTER“).

6.Enter as many memories as you wish following the same procedure (max. 99 steps).

7.Exit the programming procedure by pressing QUIT.

6.1.3 Erasing chases

If you wish to completely erase a chase, do the following:

1.Press the CHASE key (26) to get to the CHASE menu. Use the DATA wheel to select a chase you wish to erase.

2.Use SOFT A or B (“LEVEL” or “MEMORY” in the display) to determine which chase type you wish to program after erasing chase steps. If you simply wish to erase, please select one option in order to get to the next window.

3.Activate the shift function by pressing the SHIFT key (37).

4.Use SOFT B to select “DELALL”. This way, all chase steps of the corresponding chase are erased. Now you can directly start programming a new chase.

If you selected “MEMORY” under 2., you also have to press SHIFT.

6.2 Running and pausing chases

To select a chase: Keep the NUMBER key (48) depressed.

In the PROGRAMM display (35) you now have a readout of the number of active chases, the number of already programmed steps as well as the chase type (level or memory). At the same time, the chase is also shown in the control LEDs, but without being visible on the stage (automatic preview).

If you keep the NUMBER key pressed, you can use the DATA wheel (36) to view all programmed chases.

Use the SPEED control (52) to set the desired speed. Letting go of the NUMBER key activates the chase.

To view the chase on the stage, pull up the CHASE fader (50) and the MAIN fader (43).

Pausing a chase

There are several ways to do this:

1.Pull the CHASE fader (50) down to “0” (faded out).

2.Press INSERT or MANUAL.

3.Disable SOUND or RUN mode.

4.Select a chase containing no programmed steps.

6.2.1 Chase control through music

When an audio signal source is connected at the ANALOG IN connector (60) at the rear of your EUROLIGHT LC2412, the speed of chases can be determined by the bass rhythm of the music. Of course, a chase must be selected.

Table 6.1 shows the necessary setup:

You can also trigger chase steps by using the STEP key (53). Use the X-Fade fader to regultate the fade-in speed.

6.2.2 Chase control by means of SPEED fader (RUN)

To control the beat time of a chase with the internal beat generator,

you need to activate “Run” by repeatedly pressing the SOUND/RUN key (55) (yellow LED lights up).

Use the SPEED control (52) to control the speed.

Just like with chase control through music, you can also trigger chases at the same time with the STEP key (if applicable, you may use a footswitch connected to the FOOTSWITCH connector). Use the X-FADE fader to regulate the fade-in speed.
