It is easiest to build a Script File live. That is the actions you make are recorded as
you perform them. If you are using time code, the show tape will probably be

using the Internal Timer it may already be running.

F [START TIMER]. Press EXIT to quit the menu.
• Fade up and down the Playback Faders in the correct sequence and over
the correct times to perform your Show.
You will see a record of your Playback
Faders going up and down displayed on the Screen

The Script File records movements from zero to full on the Playback Faders which
contain your Memories and Chases. You may change page by moving the Roller or
using Roller Pages 1, 2 or 3 as required.
⇒ All steps are recorded as if the Playback Fader moves to full.
