SCENE RECORDING AND PLAYBACK
Scenes in the TL-2448 are organized into 50 banks of 12 scenes each. You can create and store scenes using
either the 2 x 24 mode or the 1 x 48 mode. All scenes are capable of recording all 48 channels. Scene banks are
selected by the
SUBMASTER BANK button. The current bank is shown on the LCD STATUS DISPLAY. Once
scenes are recorded they may be played back via the SUBMASTER faders or their associated momentary
buttons. Stored scenes are retained until overwritten or cleared. Scenes ARE NOT LOST when the console is
turned off. Scenes ARE cleared by the
ERASE ALL function in the SETUP menu.

SCENE PLAYBACK
1.
Make the desired bank current by pushing the SUBMASTER BANK button until the desired bank is shown on
the LCD display.
2.
You can activate the scene by its submaster fader. The scene will fade in and out as you raise and lower the
fader. You can also activate the scene with the associated momentary button. In this case the scene will
instantly come on at its recorded intensity and remain on until you release the momentary button.
Scenes are subject to the setting of the
GRAND MASTER fader and are affected by BLACKOUT.
CHASE FUNCTIONS
The TL-2448 will record and playback 36 chase patterns. Each pattern is user programmable and may contain up
to 40 steps. The overall brightness of a running chase is controlled by using the
CHASE INTENSITY fader.
The rate of chase step advance (chase rate) is user controllable. Chase rate is controlled by pushing the
TAP
button at the desired rate three or more times. The maximum chase step time is 999 seconds. The fade time of
the chase steps is adjustable from 0–100% of the step duration. Chase fade time is controlled by the
CHASE
FADE fader.
The first 12 chase patterns are accessible for playback directly from the submaster momentary buttons if you first
push the
CHASE SELECT button. All 36 of the chase patterns are available via the keypad. The current chase
rate and chase fade time is applied to all chase patterns. Chase patterns are affected by the
GRAND MASTER
fader and
BLACKOUT. Chase operation is exclusive (only 1 chase may be active at a time).
