sequence by having programmed a page of memories that only contain the colour attributes of the fixtures. Triggering the page chase will mean the fixtures change colour each time they move.
For a Page chase to work you need to have the Master Fader set above zero. From the main playback menu select the PageChase soft-key. The PageChase legend will start to flash. This indicates that the page chase on the selected page is outputting. You can now change pages and trigger further page chases. It is possible to have all 12 pages outputting a page chase. Be aware this can be confusing if you have not thought about your programming.
In PageChase mode the fixtures will all change simultaneously from one memory to the next. If the PageChase soft-key is pressed for a second time the legend will change to read PageRipple. This changes the way the chase works. It will start with the first fixture and change it to the first memory on the page. It will then change the second fixture, third fixture etc. This can be an interesting effect when used with things like colour or position. The best way to understand how it works is to program a page of colour memories and play them back first as a page chase and then as a page ripple.
To turn off a page chase press the PageChase soft-key again. When the legend stops flashing the chase will be deactivated.
