Chauvet DMX-40B user manual Action, Physical Fader Assignment Optional Setup

PHYSICAL FADER ASSIGNMENT (OPTIONAL SETUP)

Use this feature to combine or unify fixture control attributes for different fixtures. For example; if you

were controlling 4 moving mirrors and 4 moving yokes, the color, gobo and dimmer channels may not

line up ideally on the physical faders. Use this function to re-assign the dimmer, color and gobo

channels to faders 1, 2 and 3. From now on you will be able to control the same attributes on all

fixtures using the same fader location.

Action

1)Press and hold PROGRAM & TAPSYNC buttons together (1) time to access the channel assignment mode.

2)Press a SCANNER button that represents the fixture whose faders you would like to re-assign.

3)Move the SPEED fader until you arrive at controller channel (number).

4)Move the FADE TIME fader to select the DMX channel.

5)Press the MIDI/ADD button to confirm setting.

6)Repeat steps 3 ~ 5 as often as necessary.

If you wish to copy a scanner’s physical assignments to another scanner, continue by following steps 7-13. If you do not wish to do this, press and hold PROGRAM & TAPSYNC buttons

(2) times to exit mode.

Example: Copying Scanner 1 into Scanner 2

All physical faders can be re-assigned to output on a different DMX channel. Faders are given a channel number and are labeled on the surface of the controller as such.
