2Description of the device
Features
The Chimp is a hybrid programmer based tracking console.
Hybrid means it may be used to either control conventional or moving light fixtures in the same easy-to-
use way.
Being a programmer based Console, you always have the chance to override the Chimps output
manually, as the programmer always has precedence. To “empty” the programmers contents, you need
to hit the clear button three times, or press it for a longer period of time.
“Tracking” as opposed to non-tracking defines that values are tracked over from one cue in a cuelist to
another (Ie. a fixture has been brought to a level of 50% in cue #1, and it will remain at this level
proceeding through the cuelist until you change it to a different level). This is default behavior, however
you still have the option to set cuelists to a “Non-Tracking” mode on a per cuelist basis.

Playback Faders
The Chimps frontpanel consists of multiple playback fader controls, each consisting of a fader and flash,
go, pause/back buttons. These may contain Cuelists, Groups or Special Masters, like Speedmasters. These
are pageable and the button functions are assignable. The buttons below the faders are labeled 1 to 10.

Programming Section
This part of the Chimps frontpanel contains all keys needed for programming. Take a few moments to
familiarize yourself with the buttons found here. It may seem like a lot to learn, but don't worry. You’ll be
training your muscle memory over time. Also, all controls for value entry may be found here.
Fig. 5: Programming Section
Executor Buttons
You will find ten buttons labeled e1 to e10 next to the faders, below the programming section. These may
contain Cuelists or Groups. The Executors are independently pageable from the Playback Faders. These
buttons have assignable functions as well.
