12. GRAB MASTER
12.1 OVERVIEW
The Grab master is a multi function master. It can be used as either;
• A Grab master.
• A Submaster memory master.
• A Chaser master.
• A storage location for a Cue list
You change its function by recording or copying either a Grab, a Submaster memory, a
Chaser or a Cue list into it.
12.2 GRAB AS A GRAB MASTER
The Grab master allows you to “GRAB” and maintain the current output by taking a
“snapshot” of the output and holding it the Grab master.
To “Grab” the output, press; [record memory],[f/a] (grab).
The contents of the Grab master (including its fade times), may be edited and named in
exactly the same manner as a submaster memory.
12.3 Typical Grab Operations
When you perform a “Grab” and then fade up the Grab master, it allows the submasters /
channels currently producing the output to be faded down whilst the Grab master maintains
the output. This allows the next look to be preset blind .This is most useful in Wide and
submaster memory modes as the Grab master effectively provides a second (or “Phantom”)
submaster Bank B.
In a typical operation, the current look is created on any of the channel faders or submasters.
To enable the next look to be created, take a “Grab” of the output, fade up the Grab master
and then fade down submasters and channels. The look is maintained by the Grab master.
Preset the next look using any of the channel faders or submaster..
You may continue to “Grab” and “Preset” for every new look that you require.
12.4 GRAB AS A SUBMASTER MEMORY MASTER
To copy a submaster memory to the Grab master, press; [assign/copy].[Bank B] (optional)
[f/a] (submaster memory).[f/a] (grab).
12.5 GRAB AS A CHASER MASTER
Any existing Chaser from any Page may be copied to the Grab master, or a chaser may be
recorded directly into the Grab master. The Grab master then performs like any other
submaster containing a chaser. See the “CHASERS” section for details on how to control the
chaser.
To copy a chaser from any submaster to the Grab master, press; [assign/copy], [Bank B]
(optional) [f/a] (chaser).
The display will briefly scroll,
“Pick submaster to copy to”. Press; [f/a] (grab).
The Chaser in the Grab master may be edited in exactly the same way as a Chaser in a
submaster. Refer to “EDITING A CHASER” in the “CHASER” section.
