Hi Folks. I’m the Technical Director for a community theater troupe. We decided to buy our own portable lighting system rather than renting. It turns out, I was able to buy for about 1.5 times the rental cost.
We have a Scene Setter 24. I find the manual and DVD to be lacking…
I successfully used the Scene Setter on one show. I programmed different scenes as a single step chase and assigned each scene to a slider. This worked fine but I understand that the machine is capable of total programming the shows lighting transitions where all that is needed to step through the lighting transitions is to push a button.
What I thought I could do:
- program the lighting transitions as a chase and assign the chase to a single slider.
- I could also program the speed of the transitions.
- Then, when in production, I would start the chase in a manual stepping mode…
- at the start of the show I push up the slider which opens scene 1.
The machine holds step 1 and does not advance further on it's own.
-When I want to transition from step 1 to step 2 in the chase, I would press a button and the transition would happen. Then the machine would hold that state.
- Then when it's time to transition to step to 3, I push the button again.
- And so forth. Manually stepping through the steps in the chase at my command.
Do you know if this manual stepping through the chase is possible?
Thank you.
