14. FLASH
14.1 OVERVIEW
The FLASH section of the utilises the “f/a” (Flash/Assign) buttons in the fader Bank B
sections provide extensive flashing control. When a channel is “flashed” it can either “add” to
the current output of the desk or it can be “solo” where it becomes the ONLY output
You may Flash any channel, fixture or multiple channels or fixtures, any submaster, or any
multiple combination of the above at the one time. The only limit is your ability to hold down
multiple buttons. The Flash function is a momentary action. As soon as all Flash buttons are
released, normal output is restored.
There are no times associated with the FLASH function. All actions are instantaneous.
14.2 ADD/SOLO MODE
You may select what effect the Flash buttons have on the output, by selecting either ADD
mode or SOLO mode.
Pressing the [ADD/SOLO] button will toggle from one mode to the other.
SOLO mode is indicated when LED in the ADD/SOLO button flashes.
• In ADD mode, pressing any FLASH button will add the flashed channels to the output (at
the FLASH control level) without having any effect on the current output.
• In SOLO mode, pressing any FLASH button will add the flashed channels to the output (at
the FLASH control level) and at the same time it will KILL (black out) all other output. The
flashed object is now the solo output.
14.3 FLASH LEVEL
The FLASH level control sets the percentage level at the output of the FLASH section for all
channels when they are flashed.
• For individual channels and fixtures, the Flash level sets the actual level of any flashed
channels.
• For the contents of any submaster it will be the percentage of the channels recorded
level.
For example, if the Flash level is set to its mid (50%) position;
• Flashed channels/fixtures will come on at a level of 50%.
• If a submaster memory is Flashed and it contains a channel at a level of 80% then that
channel will come on at 40% (50% of 80%).
If the FLASH level is set to minimum, then no channels will come on when a FLASH button is
pressed.
If the DOMINO is in ADD mode, and a channel is already ON when it is flashed, the flash
level acts together with any existing level for that channel on a Highest Takes Precedence
(HTP) basis.
Warning: Setting the FLASH LEVEL control to minimum and the ADD/SOLO mode to SOLO
will cause all of the FLASH buttons to act as DBO (Dead Black Out) buttons.
Pressing a FLASH button will cause its channel(s) to come on at 0% and all
normal output to be killed.
Hint: To safeguard against inadvertently “flashing” any lights on stage or killing the output,
you can set the FLASH LEVEL control to minimum and the ADD/SOLO mode to ADD.
Pressing any FLASH button will now have no effect.
