Tap Sync This feature is another method of adjusting the playback speed. It functions in the
same modes in which the fader is active. Please see the steps below for
the operation.
1. Press three (3) times. The timing between pressing this button
determines the speed.
2. Repeat, as necessary, until the time has been set to the desired speed.
It may be a good idea to synchronize pressing this button three times along
with the beat of the music (bpm). This will allow the lights to synchronize with
the music.
Fog Control The Obey 70 has a dedicated fog button that will work with compatible Chauvet fog
machines. This button works with the dedicated 5-pin connector that is located on
the back panel of the controller.
When the fog LED is on, it indicates that the fog machine has reached the
maximum temperature. When the LED is not on, the fog machine may still
function, but it will not operate for maximum rated time, as it will begin below
the maximum temperature.
Strobe Control The Obey 70 has a dedicated strobe button that will work with compatible Chauvet
products. This button works with the dedicated ¼” connector that is located on the
back panel of the controller.
The LED indicator for the strobe button will flash at the same rate as the strobe
light(s).
