memories or chase steps is possible only after the console is
unblocked.

gramming memories and presets is done as described in the
respective chapters of this manual).

the NUMBER key and turning the DATA wheel. The chase
selected will be indicated on the control lights as long as you
keep the key pressed.
Releasing Hold
To softly crossfade between setups, pull the MAIN fader all
the way down and then all the way up. Moving up the fader
crossfades between the former setup and the new one.
The hold mode is automatically deactivated when the MAIN
fader reaches its upper-most position.
By using the SOFT B key, you can select CANCEL in the
display, so that you quit a mode. In doing so, the new setup is
faded in abruptly.
7.3 Special channels
Both special channels and are well-suited activating
effects independently from other settings of the EUROLIGHT
LC2412. Fog machines, color changers or disco ball motors are
such effects. You can program special activation modes for
these effects.
s Toggle mode: The SPECIAL key acts as a switch. Pressing
and releasing the key activates the fog machine (or another
function). To deactivate it, press and release the SPECIAL
key again.
s Flash mode: The SPECIAL key keeps a function active as
long as you keep the key pressed. As soon as you let go of
the SPECIAL key, the function assigned to this channel is
again deactivated.
s Kill mode: Similar to flash mode, a function is activated only
as long as the SPECIAL key is kept pressed. However, in
addition to this, all other functions are also temporariliy
disabled.
To program the various modes, do the following:
1. Press the UTILITY 2 key .
2. Select the MORE option using SOFT B.
3. Select the SELECT SPECIAL option on the display by using
the SOFT A key .
4. SPECIAL 1 key is now labeled with KEY 1 (SPECIAL 2: KEY
2). To change the mode of this key, keep the SOFT A key (for
KEY 1; SOFT B for KEY 2) pressed and select the desired
option using the DATA wheel.
5. Confirm your selecting with the QUIT key and go back to
the main menu.
Special channels are labeled console channels 25 and 26
when assigned to DMX channels (also see chapter 8.2.2.)
7.4 Theater mode
You have the option to store a long sequence (99 steps) so
that you can define an individual crossfade time for each step.
This way, you can uploade a framework for a complete theater
piece into the chase storage, and then expand it with presets
and memories. Therefore, think of theater mode as a special kind
of chase programming. To let time sequences be flexibely
configured, subsequent steps are not controlled automatically
or via a sound signal source. Instead, they are triggered
individually by hand.
Basic setup of the theater mode
To work in theater mode, the following conditions must be met:
s Chase control via the internal beat generator (RUN) must be
deactivated,
s Chase control via an external audio signal (SOUND) must be
deactivated,
s MANUAL must be deactivated,
s INSERT also has to be deactivated.
