• Normally if you change the speed or crossfade of a chase, the

new setting is saved. However you can set this change to be

temporary, so that when the show is reloaded the speed and

fade will go back to the previously saved settings. Go to User

Settings (Avo button + [User Settings] and set option C to

[Connected View Sets Temporary Chase Speed]. You can still

save a temporary speed by pressing [Save Temporary Speed]

in the Set Times menu.

7.2.3 Setting speed and crossfade for a Chase

The left wheel is assigned to control the Speed of the chase it is

connected to. The speed is shown in Beats Per Minute (BPM) on the

display. You can also enter a speed from the keypad as described

below. The last speed you set on the wheel is always remembered,

you do not have to tell Titan Mobile to save it.

Crossfade is the “slope” between cues; with a crossfade of 0, the

fixtures snap instantly to the next cue, but with a crossfade of 100,

the fixtures spend the whole cue time fading to the next cue. With a

crossfade of 50, the fixtures delay for half the cue time and fade for

the other half of the time.

You set the crossfade and speed as follows:

1> Press [Edit Times] from the top level menu then the Swop

button of the chase.

2> To set the crossfade, press [Xfade] and type the fade from 0 –

100. 0=no fade (the chase will “snap”), 100=max fade (the

chase will move continuously from step to step).

3> To set the speed, press [Speed], type the new speed, then

press Enter. The speed can be set in Beats Per Minute (BPM) or

seconds depending on the User Settings.

There are other options you can set for the chase from this menu

including Fixture Overlap, which are described in the Timings section

7.6.1 on page 84.

You can set individual times for each cue in a chase and unlink cues

from each other so they wait for you to press the Go button. This is

done using the Playback View, or the Unfold function which is

described in section

7.3.2 on page 82.

You can select whether the chase speed is displayed in Seconds or in

Beats Per Minute (BPM). Press Avo and [User Settings], then press
