Submasters

Once you have set up a scene (or part of a scene) that you like you can then

record that onto a submaster.

Recording a Submaster

Press the SUBMASTERS key to display the Submasters Window, then select

the submaster number to be programmed by pressing the relevant flash

button under the submaster. Note that there are 20 pages of submasters

available so check the page indicator is on 1 before continuing.

To store the Submaster, simply press the RECORD key. The Submaster LCD

will indicate that a scene is stored onto the submaster.

Adjusting Fade Times

Default fade times for Intensity, Colour, Beamshape and Position are defined

in Desk Setup, and can be adjusted if required via the Submasters Window.

The fade times can be adjusted by moving the cursor to the required field in

the Submasters Window and using the control wheels, or by moving to the

field on the Submasters Window, pressing the ENTER key, typing in the time

using the MFKs or external keyboard and pressing ENTER. See the

Submasters chapter in the User Manual for full details.

Editing Submasters

The easiest way to Edit a submaster is simply to use the Update function.

With the submaster active, make the changes you require using the preset

faders and fixture controls, then press Update. The MFKs will list all of the

currently active submasters and memories which can be updated, as well as

any palettes. Select the Submaster to update, and press OK. Clear the

programmer and the update is complete.

Naming Submasters

A submasters name is displayed on the LCD above it. To set the name, press

the SUBMASTERS key to display the Submasters Window, then select a

programmed submaster to be named. Press the NAME key and the Name

Window is displayed on the monitor:
