To use Hold Button Operation
Step 1. Select current settings with channel faders. Make sure Preset Master A is at "10" and Preset Master B is at
"0" (zero).
Note: The hold feature can only be activated and deactivated with playbacks in these positions.
Step 2. Press the HOLD button. The HOLD LED indicator should be illuminated. The current settings will now be
recorded into the HOLD's memory.
Step 3. You can now set the channels to the levels required for the next cue. The channel levels will not output as
live.
Step 4. You can now move Preset Master A to "0" (zero) while moving Master Preset B level to 10. During the
crossfade, the HOLD LED will be flashing. The new cue will output and the previous cue will fade out.
Step 5. Once both Preset Master A and Preset Master B have reached the bottom of the current Channel Fader
settings, they will now be recorded into HOLD's memory. Note, the HOLD LED will stop flashing but
remain on indicating the activation of the HOLD feature.
Step 6. The operator is now free to reset all Channel Faders to the levels for the next cue. Once the channel faders
are set, crossfade Preset Master A back to 10 and Preset Master B back to 0. During crossfade operation, the
hold LED will flash. After the crossfade is complete, the new cue will now be outputting live and locked
into HOLD's memory. Note, the HOLD LED should still be illuminated.
Step 7. You can now repeat the above steps to continue crossfading between cues.
Step 8. Press HOLD button again to release the HOLD function when Preset Master A and Preset Master B faders
are at the top. After pressing HOLD, the HOLD LED should turn off.
Note: For timed crossfades - use the same procedure as the manual crossfade but with the fade timer set to the
preferred fade time. The LED display will show the fade time that is set.

6. Effect - Single Scene Mode

An effect is a way to get fast changing output of dimmer levels in a specific order. The effect capability of this
console is limited but simple to do. The console can run one effect at a time.
Set the console to single scene mode. Set Preset Master A to 0 (Down) and Preset Master B to 0 (Up). Preset Master
B will become the effect master. (See the colored information beside the Playback B). Set current fader levels to
include only the faders that will be in the effect. Set them to any level from 1 to 100.
