Sound to Light Control
The Sound to Light system enables cues to be controlled by the bass, mid-
range and treble components of a sound source. In addition, sequences
can have their stepping speed controlled by these same components.

Sound to Light functions can be assigned to any of the cues on an
individual basis. This is achieved as follows:
 Using the main keypad control area of the console press Cue,
followed by the cue number, followed by next, next, next. The
LCD will now be displaying the window which has the Sound to
Light functions.

 Move the cursor to the Sound to Light area of the LCD by using
the enter button.
 Use the rotary control to select the frequency component and
response mode.

 With a suitable sound input and the appropriate cue on the
playback area, the cue will respond to the sound level and the
frequency, with the cue fader acting as a sound to light master.

coupling to the relevant frequency component i.e., “hard” – direct
coupling to the sound level “soft” – averaged coupling to the sound
level.
