Rev 1.32
1. Master
The Master fader is a
Grand Master which acts as
a final Level for all output
levels of all functions.
The other Masters; Live,
Scene A, Scene Bare
subject to the Master.
2. Bump buttons
Bump buttons are below
each of the 24 channel
faders
Pressing a Bump button
will immediately raise that
channel to full level subject
to the Masters.
3. Live Basic Operations
On the left is the Live Master (LM) which controls the overall level for the
basic Live operation of the 24 channel faders.
Set the pushwheel to a starting Address, the LED will start to blink to indicate
a mismatch between the current Live address and what was just set.
Press Change, the LED stops blinking to indicate the current address is Live.
Fader1 will now be at Address, Fader2 will be at Address+1, etc.
The Live “scene” is always output (subject to Live Master) even when Scene
memories are in use.
When you change the current Live Address and don’t press Change the Red LED will blink to
remind you the address is not the current live address, when you change back to the current Live
address or press Change the Red LED will turn off.
4 Scene Memories
Generally you will want to prepare the Scene memories A& B“offline”,
i.e. ahead of time before really using Live as when you return to Live from
programming A& Bthe live output may jump to the levels from the Scene
address you just wrote.
4.1
There are two Scene Memories A and B.
Scenes A, Boperate independently in a push-on, push-off (toggle) fashion.
Each has their own master fader (SMA, SMB).
If a Scene has been stored and the associated LED is ON then the Scene will
be output subject to its Scene Master (SM).
If the LED is off the Scene will not be output regardless of the Scene Master.
The Scene buttons may be used to quickly toggle the entire scene to the Scene
Master level.
If a same channel has data in the Live section and Scene A or Scene B then the
highest among them always is used.
When the unit powers up the LED Aor Bwill flash if there is a memory stored
and then default to the off state. The Scene is not output during this wake up flash.
4.3 Memory Operation Example
(Live is at starting Address 001 for this example.)
Set Address to 100, nothing happens unless something else is pressed except
the Change LED blinks to remind you it is not the current Live Address.
Do not press Change but if Change was pressed now the Live set would
change its starting address from 001 to 100.
The address is set to 100 in preparation for creating Scene A memory starting
at 100.
You may want to set the Live Master to 0 for this operation.
To write to Scene A or B(this example is for A):
Press and hold down Write, Tap the Scene Abutton, now release the Write
button.
The ALED blinks slowly and you may now set the channel levels for the
scene to be stored while the LED continues to blink.
When done setting levels Tap the Write button, the LED blinks quickly to
confirm Scene is stored. (Tapping A, Bor Delete will abort the Write).
The Abutton will now operate in the normal toggle mode.

Live is still at Address 001 and is still outputting and subject to Live Master.
At this point you probably want to set the Address back to the current Live
Address, 001 in this example, the Red Change LED will turn off to tell you
have restored the current Live Address.
4.2 Delete Scene
Same button sequences as Write except use the Delete button:
Hold Delete, Tap A, release Delete, Tap Delete, the blinking will guide you.
6. Special case addresses
6.1 Clearing the Universe
Sometimes you may want to send 0’s for the entire 512 universe.
This can be useful if dimmers retain values that you wish they hadn’t.
Set the the Address to 999 (don’t press Change), hold Delete for 3 seconds, LED blinks, release.
All 512 channels were sent 0 levels, the scenes defaulted to off. Set the pushwheel back to your
Live Address. As of v1.31 holding down both Bumps 1&2 during power up will do the same
clearing operation. (Note that a starting Live address off 500+ w/ Master down has the same effect
of clearing the universe)
athe DMX 512 universe is also cleared at power up (as of v1.32).
