Operating Modes:
The Stage Setter 8™has three different operating modes: 2x8, 8x8, and
1x16. These modes are selected with the Mode Button (3). The current
mode is indicated by the Mode LED (3).
In 2x8 mode, Crossfader X (5) controls the channels 1-8, and Crossfader
Y (6) controls channels 9-16.
In 8x8 mode, the Scene Y (11) channels (9-16) become a set of Masters
Scenes. Each Master Scene channel (9-16) will control the level of the
scenes or patterns created. The Scene X (2) channels (1-8) operate as
normal dimmer sliders.
In 1x16 mode, X Crossfader (5) controls the intensities of channels 1-16,
and Y Crossfader controls the Fade Time. Fade Time is the amount of
time it takes one scene to end and fade in to the next. Fade Time varies
from 1/10 of second (instant) to 10 minutes.
Masters Scenes:
Master Scenes is function that can only be used while in the 8x8 operating
mode. When in the 8x8 mode, the Bump Buttons (10) and the Scene Y
(11) sliders can be used to store a Masters Scene. A Master Scene consist
of channels 1-8.
To create a Master Scene:
First, use the sliders in the Scene X (2) section to create a scene. After you
have set your scene, tap the Program Button to enter the program mode.
Once Program mode has been activated, tap the Bump Button that cor-
responds to a Scene Y (11) slider that will be used to store the scene. The
scene will now be stored as a Master Scene into the Scene Y slider and will
be ready for immediate use.

channels 1 and 6 at full, channel 7 at 50% and the remaining channels fully
off.
