Operation

Stand-Alone Mode (Sound-Active, Auto Mode):

This mode allows a single unit to run to the beat of the music, or the unit will auto change in Auto Mode.

1)Press the <MODE> button.

2)Use the <UP> and <DOWN> buttons to locate the desired program (A001 – A024). Some programs are static, and some can trigger to sound. See the Menu Values section on the previous page for a complete list of programs.

3)Each program has settings which can be configured by pressing <ENTER> while the program is displayed. Press <ENTER> while the program is displayed. Scroll through to the desired setting and press <MODE>. See the Menu Values section on the previous page for a complete list of settings.

3)Use the audio sensitivity knob on the back of the unit to make the unit more or less sensitive in Sound-Active mode. Turning the knob counterclockwise decreases the sensitivity; turning the knob clockwise increases the sensitivity.

Master/Slave Mode (Master Sound, Master Auto):

This mode will allow you to link up to 32 units together without a controller.

1)Use standard DMX cables to daisy chain your units together via the DMX connector on the rear of the units. For longer cable runs we suggest a terminator at the last fixture. For more information about terminators, see page 8.

2)Determine which fixture will be the master. Connect a DMX cable from the DMX output connector of the master to the DMX input connector of another COLORpaIette™ 2.

3)Continue connecting the slaves together with DMX cables

4)Press the <MODE> button on the master.

5)Use the <UP> and <DOWN> buttons to locate the desired program (A001 – A024). Some programs are static, and some can trigger to sound. See the Menu Values section on the previous page for a complete list of programs.

DMX Mode

This mode allows the unit to be controlled by any universal DMX controller. If you are unfamiliar with DMX, please read the DMX Primer on page 15.

1)Press the <MODE> button.

2)Use the <UP> and <DOWN> buttons until Master/Slave Mode (Master Sound, Master Auto): is displayed, and press <ENTER>.

Note: The “d” will disappear after pressing the enter button. This is to indicate that you are in DMX mode, and can now change the DMX address.

3)Use the <UP> and <DOWN> buttons to select the desired DMX address.

4)Press the <MODE> button to store the address.
