control during a show, page shortcuts 

At regular intervals while you are programming, and when you have 

finished programming (or you’ve run out of time) and it’s showtime, 

the most important thing is to back up the show to USB pen drive or 

floppy disk. Even saving it as a new file on the internal disk is better 

than nothing (see section 0 on page 25 for instructions).  

If your show is being operated by a lesser mortal, turn the key to Run 

and remove the key. This prevents anyone from altering the 

programming of the console. However the operator can still select 

fixtures and adjust attributes live.  
Expert users can run the console in “Program” mode to allow more 

flexibility in running the show and live updating of the programming. 

In the top left hand corner of the console are the Master Faders. 

These allow overall intensity control of the whole console. 

•  The Add/Flash and Swop masters control the intensity of the Flash 

and Swop buttons on the playbacks. This allows you to flash the 

playbacks to a certain level. It also allows you to disable the Flash 

buttons by setting the master at 0. (If you turn the Swop master to 

0 you will get a blackout if you press a Swop button). 

•  The Preset Master controls the overall intensity of any channels 

turned on in the Preset faders. 

•  The Grand Master controls the intensity of all output from the 

console. Normally you would set this at full, and use it if you need 

to quickly fade out all the lights. 

The Flash and Swop buttons on the playback faders may be used at 

any time to flash and solo cues and chases. The Flash button adds 

the playback into the current output, the Swop button turns off all 

other output. You must have the key set to Run mode to use Flash 

and Swop. 
In Run mode you can also flash and swop individual fixtures or 

dimmer channels using the Select/Swop and Palette/Flash buttons 

below the preset faders.  
You can reallocate the functions of the Flash and Swop/Select buttons 

useful alternative function is Preload which allows you to preset the 

attributes of the fixtures before you raise the playback fader, which is 

handy for avoiding visible changes (any fixtures which are already
