Faders
If scenes, chases or sound-controlled chases have been programmed, these can be called up again. To do this,
the master fader on the far right must be at its top position or at the desired dimming level. The corresponding
fader for the program is then pulled up and the first step of this program position can be seen. An illuminated Go
button shows which program slots contain lighting programs.
Scenes
Programs that are set up as scenes can now be advanced step by step using the Go button. Whether a fade takes
place between the steps depends on whether a fade time has been defined for this scene (→page 34) or whether
the fade time has been set to Fader. If this is the case, the FADE SCENE/MUSIC fader is responsible for the fade
time. If the fader is closed, the fade time is 0.00 seconds, i.e. a hard fade takes place between the steps. In the top
position, the fader generates a fade time of 15 seconds.
Chases
The same applies to chases and sound-controlled chases. If the speed of the chase is set to Fader, the time can
be adjusted using the SPEED CHASE fader. A closed position corresponds to 15 seconds per step, in the fully
open position each step is 0.100 seconds long. Alternatively, the speed can be set using the TAP button. By
pressing the button twice, the DMX Commander 512 adopts the time between the two actuations as the speed for
the steps. FADE CHASE can be used to set the fade percentage, provided that the <FADEC> setting is set to
Fader in the basic setting for the memory location. There is no speed for sound-controlled chases and scenes as
the sequence time depends on the rhythm of the music and on pressing the Go button; however, a fade can be
set for both via the FADE SCENE/MUSIC fader.
Go button
The Go button switches to the next step for scenes. This is ideal for theater performances, for example. The Go
button will flash slowly. Two other functions of the Go button are:
1. Moving heads, for example, should already be in the correct position, display the correct gobo, etc. before the
brightness is set. Therefore, as long as the corresponding fader is still closed, the Go button ensures that all
function channels assume the values of the first step.
Note: If a lighting program is already running in which spotlights with function channels are involved and the
Go button of a program that also uses these spotlights is pressed, the running program may be affected. More
on this under "Several programs simultaneously".
2. While a chase or a sound-controlled chase light is running, the Go LED flashes quickly. If you press the Go
button again, the chase pauses at the current step and the Go button flashes slowly. The next time the button
is pressed, the program continues and the Go button flashes quickly again. If the light is paused in this way
and the fader is then moved to 0, the pause is retained when dimming down. If the fader is pulled up again,
the program starts normally once more. This is ideal for concerts or parties, for example, where the light
should pause between pieces of music.
Flash button
This button outputs the values of a lighting program as long as it is pressed. This is ideal for briefly activating
blinders, strobe modes or a fog machine.
