The channel sliders are arranged in two scenes called X and Y. With the crossfaders both pushed to

the top of the slots, the X scene is active and channel levels set on the X scene appear on stage.

Levels for the next look may be set in the Y scene without affecting levels on stage. At the appropri-

ate time, the operator slides the crossfaders to the bottom of the slots, and the Y scene becomes ac-

tive and the look set in the Y scene appears on stage. Levels for a new look may then be set in the X

scene.

A show is typically run as a series of crossfades from the X scene to the Y scene and back again, but

there are additional controls available to "finesse" the production. The grandmaster slider affects all

channels proportionally and is used to fade to black or up from black. The blackout button is used for

a sudden blackout: all lights on stage go out and the LED flashes red, reminding the operator to

press the button again to leave blackout mode, preferably with the grandmaster slider down so the

lights can fade up smoothly from black.

Although the crossfaders are generally run up and down together, they may be split in either of two

directions. When split with the X fader up and the Y fader down, both scenes are active and "pile on",

i.e. the higher of the levels set in either scene takes precedence. When split with the X fader down

and the Y fader up, both scenes are inactive and the stage fades to black. Splitting the crossfaders

enables the operator to produce uneven fade rates or introduce a delay in the fade from one scene to

the next.

The SS/2S switch toggles the controller from two scene to single scene mode. The switch is only

read on power up, so be sure to remove power before changing the switch and apply power after

changing the switch. In single scene mode, the number of control channels is doubled. For example,

on the TM-TS12/24 the top row is channels 1-12 and the bottom row is channels 13-24. The hold

button adds a virtual second scene so the operator can crossfade from one look to another even in

single scene mode. Here is an example:

1. Remove power from controller.

2. Set the SS/2S switch to the SS position.

3. Push the crossfaders to the top of the slots.

4. Apply power to the controller.

5. Set light levels on the top & bottom rows of sliders.

6. Press the hold button. Note how the LED shines.

7. Set new light levels. Note how the look on stage does not change.

8. Slowly run the crossfaders to the bottom of the slots. Watch the levels change from one look to the

next. At the end, the hold LED goes out.

9. Press the hold button again, lighting the hold LED. Set new light levels. The stage look does not

change.

10. Slowly run the crossfaders to the top of the slots. Watch the levels change from one look to the

next. At the end, the hold LED goes out.

The console features a user programmable chase. In a chase, lamps are lit in sequence according

to the chase program. The level of the chase can be set with the chase level control. If manual fad-

ers are set to light some lamps at a particular level, the chase piles on that level (the higher of the

chase level or the channel level takes precedence). Note also that the chase level is affected by the

grand master and blackout controls. In addition to the level of the chase, the speed of the chase can

be varied with the front panel chase rate control. If either the chase rate or level is set to zero, the

chase is suspended and will start again when the level and rate are above zero.

The chase includes three chase modes. These are forward (green LED), reverse (red LED), and

build (yellow LED). Pressing the chase mode button switches from chase off to each of these
