10.5 EDITING A CHASE
“Edit” allows you to permanently change the
speed, crossfade, mode and direction plus you
can add or delete steps, connect or disconnect
the STL (Sound To Light) processors and edit the
contents of each step.
These changes are applied to the chase memory
and if the chase is currently on a playback, they
will also be applied to the playback. If the chase is
faded up on stage you will see the changes. If the
chase is not live on stage, its steps are displayed
on the channel LED indicators and on the optional
SVGA monitor.

[edit], [page red bank] [f/a] (chase number).
The indicators in the channel f/a buttons show the
channels of the running chase. Their intensity
reflects the levels of the channels in each step.
• To control the SPEED, rotate the EDIT wheel.
• To change the CROSSFADE between steps,
press [function] until both “in” & “out” LEDs
light, then rotate the EDIT wheel.

3 buttons below the EDIT wheel as described
above.

Light or SyncoBEAT) from the chase,
repeatedly HOLD [function] until the STEP
number(s) are shown on the display and the
STL button LEDs flash. Whilst holding
[function] tap either [STL1] or [STL2].
Press [yes] to connect or disconnect the
selected STL. See the “STL and SyncoBEAT”
