Snap or Crossfade Between
Sequence Steps
To snap from one sequence step to the
next set the CROSSFADE Control to
manual.
To crossfade from one step to the next
move the CROSSFADE control to any
timed setting.
If stepping is manual (via the STEP + and
STEP - buttons) the crossfade time is set
on the CROSSFADE control.
If stepping is automatic or sound
controlled, the sequence crossfades at a
rate set by the SPEED control.
Controlling the Direction of a
Sequence
The direction of a sequence is controlled
by the DIRECTION button. Press the
DIRECTION button to select the direction
required - Forwards (>), Backwards (<) or
Auto-Reverse (< >).
NOTES
Changing Sequences
To change from outputting one sequence to
another, simply press the required SEQUENCE
button. It is not necessary to turn the first
sequence off first. For example, if sequence 1
is running and the sequence 2 button is
pressed, sequence 1 will be removed from the
output and sequence 2 will be output.
Step Buttons
The STEP + and STEP - buttons are active at
all times while a sequence is running. They can
be used to advance or reverse the sequence
by one step. If either of these buttons are held
down for more than two seconds, the sequence
will advance for as long as the button is held
down.
Remote Step
Pressing a switch connected to the Remote
input socket on the back panel, will have the
same effect as pressing the STEP + button,
and can be used for advancing sequences.
Sound Input
If an external sound source attached to the
desk is used to advance a sequence, the
SOUND function must be activated using the
SOUND button.
Removing Sound Input
If the external sound source is removed, the
sequence will advance at the rate set on the
SPEED control. If the SPEED control is set to
Manual, the sequence will stop.
