CHASE PLAYBACK
The current chase pattern number and step number are always shown on the
STATUS DISPLAY lower left.
The first 12 chase patterns can be quickly activated by pushing the CHASE SELECT button. The LED indicators
under the submaster faders will flash. Push a submaster momentary button to activate any of the 12 chase
patterns.
To activate ANY chase pattern: Enter its number on the keypad – then push the
key.
Adjust the brightness of the chase using the
CHASE INTENSITY fader.
Adjust the chase rate with the
TAP button and adjust the chase fade time using the CHASE FADE fader. The
chase fade will adjust the fade time to anywhere between 0 and 100% of the step time.
It is not necessary to set these chase controls before activating a chase but if you set them first – the chase will
begin at your approximate desired settings.
USING CUE LISTS
After you have created and saved scenes in the TL-2448, you can put them into a scene cue list. Once the cue
list has been created, you can “play” the list by pushing the
GO button. Pushing this button causes the current
cue scene to fade out and the next scene to fade in. Each entry in the cue list contains the bank number of a
scene, the scene number within that bank, a “fade in” time , and a “fade out” time. The “fade out” time is the
number of seconds the PREVIOUS cue scene will take to fade out as the current cue scene fades in. You can
adjust both of these times to obtain various effects. Fade times can range from 0 to 999 seconds. The overall
brightness of cues is controlled by the
CUE MASTER fader. Cues are affected by the BLACKOUT function
and the
GRAND MASTER fader. Cue number 0 is reserved as a blackout and is not programmable.
The LCD
STATUS DISPLAY always shows the current cue number in the upper right section and the next cue
number in the lower right. Cues normally proceed in a sequential manner (cue 2 follows cue 1… etc.). You can
alter the order of cue playback using the keypad. If you enter a cue number and push ENTER (
#), the display
will indicate your entry as the next cue to be activated. When you push
GO – this cue will fade in.
CUE LIST RECORDING
INITIAL CUE LIST ASSIGNMENTS
The TL-2448 is provided with factory supplied cue list assignments (default cue list). This initial assignment will
be invoked any time the
ERASE ALL function is executed from the SETUP menu. The default cue list
assignments are arranged in 12 groups of 48 cues each. The first group is assigned as follows:
CUE BANK SCENE
01 – 12 1 1 thru 12
13 – 24 2 1 thru 12
25 – 36 3 1 thru 12
37 – 48 4 1 thru 12
This assignment is repeated for the next group (beginning at cue 49). The result is that cue 49 will have the same
assignments as cue 1. This sequence is repeated for each following group of 48 cues.
