FUNCTIONS
1. CHANNEL FADERS: can be used for different purposes, depending on the working mode:
 Manual mode: change the output level of the channel.
 Scene mode: progressively recalls the scene that was programmed under this fader.
Remark: in both working modes MIDI data (000-127) is sent through the USB-output (10)
2. FLASH BUTTONS: can be used for different purposes, depending on the working mode:
 Manual mode: used as channel FLASH button (max. output as long as the button is pressed)
 Scene mode: CHANNEL fader closed  switch the programmed scene on/off.
Remark: in both working modes MIDI data (note on/off) is sent through the USB-output (10)
3. STATUS LED: information depends on the working mode:
 Manual mode: lights up progressively, depending on the fader position.
 Scene mode: dark while no scene is programmed (empty).
4. SCENE/MANUAL BUTTON: used to toggle between manual mode and scene mode:
 Manual mode: each of the 16 CHANNEL faders can be used to manually set the output level.
 Scene mode: each of the 16 CHANNEL faders can contain a scene, scenes can be mixed
manually.
While pressed together with the DISPLAY MODE button (6), you can set the controller in MIDI RECEIVE
mode, see chapter "HOW TO USE" for more information.
5. LED DISPLAY: shows different information, depending on the working mode and/or display mode. The
first digit shows the unit number: unit1 is always the master. 2,3 or 4 is shown on the connected slaves.
6. DISPLAY MODE BUTTON: press the button to browse the different display modes:
 Display mode 1: (led off) shows the DMX-values while a CHANNEL fader is moved (000 to 512).
 Display mode 2: (led off) shows the output in % while a CHANNEL fader is moved (0% to 100%).
 Display mode 3: (led on) shows the MIDI-values while a CHANNEL fader is moved (000 to 127).
 MIDI channel: press the button until the led starts blinking, the display shows the selected MIDI-
channel. Press the button again until the led stops blinking. Also see chapter "HOW TO USE".
7. MASTER FADER: used to set the overall (master) DMX-output level. If several units are connected in
master/slave, the master fader of unit1 (master unit) is used to control the output of all units together.
Remark1: in both working modes MIDI data (000-127) is sent through the USB-output (10)
Remark2: this fader is also used to set the desired MIDI channel, see chapter "HOW TO USE"
8. PROGRAM BUTTON: used to program a scene under one of the CHANNEL faders. While pressed
together with the SCENE/MANUAL button (4), you can set the controller in PROGRAM mode. For more
information on using the PROGRAM button, see chapter "HOW TO USE".
9. BLACKOUT BUTTON: used to shutoff the DMX-output. While used in MIDI RECEIVE mode, you can
press this button for 2 seconds to reset all scenes (set all scenes to zero).
FUNCTIONS
10. USB-CONNECTION: used to connect the controller to a PC. In this way you can: control MIDI-
applications, let other MIDI-applications control the Scenemaster or upgrade the firmware of the
Scenemaster.
11. LINK CONNECTORS: two RJ45 connectors used to link several Scenemasters together to obtain one
virtual controller with more channels and scenes. You can use standard Cat-5 network patch cables.
12. DMX-OUTPUT: used to connect and control all kinds of DMX-projectors and effects.
