 In some cases it may be useful to make a COPY of a Chase allowing
previewing and editing of steps of a Chase whilst running the same on
another playback. This also allows you to easily jump to a step out of
sequence by setting the second Fader to a different step and manually
fading between the two.
 You can jump to any Chase step by selecting the step on the keypad and
pressing the CONNECT button.
7.30 Recording and recalling Chase Steps on the Graphics Tablet and Stage
Remote
Chase Steps can be recorded directly from the Graphics Tablet. See Section
15.9.4 Record Step in the Graphics Tablet Chapter.
Chase Steps can be replayed directly from the Stage Remote. See Section
16.5 Using the Remote to recall and step through a Chase in the Stage
Remote Chapter.
7.31 Help and Hints
Problem : Chase does not replay after programming.
Solution : Press the CLEAR button, or turn the Key to Run.
Problem : Programmed Chases have disappeared.
Solution : Check that you are on the correct Roller Page / Facet.
Problem : Some HTP Channels do not replay.
Solution : Check that they have not been reduced in the Reduction bank.
See Section 9.9 Reduction Faders.
Problem : Some Channels on Moving Lights do not replay.
Solution : They probably have not been recorded. If you are using Record
by
 CHANNEL then you must edit each Channel that is to be recorded to put
it in the Programmer. This means that you must access each one and do
something to it, even if it is only reasserting the level it is currently at. See
Section 6.1 Recording Modes.
Problem : The Presets, Wheel and Tablet do not output to the stage.
Playbacks work correctly.
Solution : Check you have not selected BLIND mode.
7.31.1 DMX limitations on Chase Speeds
The following text explains why only some BPM rates are allowed.
Given that every step of a sequence MUST be output (otherwise some
critical information may not get to a Fixture), the fastest Chase speed in BPM
is determined by the DMX refresh rate.
The maximum theoretical DMX refresh rate is 44 times a second or 2640
times a minute. In practice this is not normally met, and on the Pearl a speed
of 2400 can be achieved. In other words the maximum number of chase
steps that can be output in one minute is 2400.
