DISPLAY: shows the current action or the state of programming of the scenes/chases.

FUNCTIONS (REAR)

There are 2 possibilities of range for the speed fader: o <RECORD/SHIFT> + <5>, <5>, <5> for the 5 min range o <RECORD/SHIFT> + <10>, <10>, <10> for the 10 min range You can store the speed in a preset B fader with o <MODUS SELECT/REC SPEED> + <PRESET B x> o Put the SPEED fader in the lowest position (SHOW MODUS) to erase the stored time
23. FADE fader: Used to store the fade time. Look at the schedule below to easily set your speed (x means a digit between 0 and 9): Display 0.xx x.xx xx.0 x.xx. xx.x. Time Milliseconds: For example 0.10 means 100 milliseconds Seconds: For example 1.20 means 1 second and 200 milliseconds Seconds: For milliseconds example 10.1 means 10 seconds and 100 1. DC INPUT: connect the supplied AC/DC adapter to this input. If you should use another adapter, please make sure that it has 9 ~ 12Vdc and minimum 300mA with + in the center. 2. MIDI TRU(left)/OUT(middle)/IN(right): You can attach an external MIDI-controller to these connections (for more information, see chapter how to use) 3. DMX OUTPUT: Sends DMX-signals to the connected fixtures 4. DMX POLARITY SWITCH: A DMX-signal normally has the following connections: 1=ground * 2=Data- * 3=Data+ In some cases it happens that a cable is inversed, as a result of this the DMX-connection doesnt work. This can be solved by using this switch. If your DMX connection doesnt work and all your DMXreceivers are properly addressed, you can check this switch. In normal conditions always put this switch in the left position. 5. AUDIO input: Here, you connect an audio line signal, so the connected light effects/lamps will react to the music. 6. REMOTE connector: Using a stereo JACK you can switch the output in BLACK OUT or FULL ON: The Ring of the JACK to the mass: BLACK OUT can be switched ON/OFF. The Tip of the JACK to the mass: FULL ON is active as long as the tip is connected to the mass.

Minutes: For example 1.05 means 1 minute and 5 seconds Minutes: For example 10.0. means 10 minutes
24. MASTER B fader: Single preset mode: no influence Double preset and Chase/Scene mode: Master of the preset B faders, the lowest position means 100%, the upper position is 0% 25. MASTER A fader: Single preset mode: Master of Preset A and B faders, the lowest position is 0%, the upper position is 100% Double preset and Chase/Scene mode: Master of Preset A faders, the lowest position is 0%, the upper position is 100% 26. PRESET A faders: Use these faders to set the values of channels 1 to 12 27. FLASH A buttons: When you press a flash button you will set the intensity of this channel to 100% 28. PRESET B faders: Single preset mode: use these faders to set the values of channels 12 to 24. Double preset mode: using this mode, you will work with a 12 channels A/B control, by which every channel A/B fader will lead up to the same. Chase/scene mode: This mode of the control allows you to store a whole (24 channels) scene/chase on a preset B fader. You have 4 pages and 12 preset B faders, so you can store 48 scenes/chases.

HOW TO USE

This chapter will explain step by step how the CMX24 works. We advise to read this text step by step. Switching on: The CMX24 hasnt got an ON/OFF switch. You have to connect the adapter that is delivered together with the CMX24 to the DC INPUT connector and the mains. As soon as this happens, the CMX24 will be switch on. Connecting with dimmers: The CMX24 is equipped with an 3 contact female XLR connector DMX OUT. Besides the connector there is a slide switch that selects the polarity of the DMX-signal. Normally, this slide switch is switched towards the side of the XLR-connection. When the connected DMX-devices dont function correctly, switch this slide switch in the other position.
!!! Important: do not forget to set the start addresses of the dimmers correctly !!!
The CMX24 can be placed in different modes and some buttons can behave different depending of the current mode. To know for certain that the control is working in the right mode to understand this tutorial you have to do the next steps Turn the CMX24 off and then back on Move the next faders to the lowest position o All the {PRESET A} faders (12 faders) o All the {PRESET B} faders (12 faders) o {MASTER B} fader o {AUDIO LEVEL} fader o {SPEED} fader Move the next faders to the highest position o {MASTER A} fader o {FADE} fader Select the single preset mode o Press and release the <MODUS SELECT/REC SPEED> button until the [SINGLE PRESET] lamp is lit (above the master A and B fader) Select page 1 o Press and release the <PAGINA/REC CLEAR> button until [PAGINA 1] lamp is lit. This is placed above the PAGE button o Press and hold the <RECORD/SHIFT> button o Press and release the <PRESET A 5> button o Press and release the <PRESET A 5> button o Press and release the <PRESET A 5> button o Release <RECORD/SHIFT> button o The [5 min] led above the SPEED fader should now be lit. Leave the program and edit mode, go to the safe mode o Press and hold the <RECORD/SHIFT> button. o Press and release the <ADD KILL/REC EXIT> button. o Release the <RECORD/SHIFT> button. o When red led above the RECORD/SHIFT is lit, you repeat this procedure again, until the let isnt lit anymore. When the audio mode is active (the [AUDIO] led is lit), shut off the mode o Press and release the <AUDIO> button above the AUDIO fader Put out the black out lamp o Normally, the [BLACK OUT] led will blink, besides the BLACK OUT button o Press and release the <BLACK OUT> button to put out the led o As long as this led blinks, there is no output. Display Mode While moving a fader, the intensity is shown on the display. The [DIMMER] LED will be lit besides the display to indicate that the display shows the intensity of the dimmer. When you have connected dimmers and light effects, you will see that the connected light effects will be lit on the same intensity. You can choose if the display shows values from 0 (%) to 100 (%), or values from 0 to 255 ( DMX-values). You can change the display (between % and DMX) this way: Press and hold the <RECORD/SHIFT> button Press and release the <INSERT/% or 0-255> button Release <RECORD/SHIFT> button By repeating this process you will return to the original display. Attention: The display always shows the value of the fader and not the real intensity of the lamp. Single Preset mode: Using this mode, you can set the intensity of all 24 channels of the CMX24. You can set a scene by moving all the PRESET A and PRESET B faders to the preferred position. Look at the green LEDs above each PRESET A and PRESET B fader. These LEDs show the intensity of the channels. If you have connected dimmers and light effects, then the light effects should also be lit. Move {MASTER A} fader slowly down. You will see that all leds (and your light effects) will be put out slowly. In the single preset mode, MASTER B has no function.

For example: 1.20 is 1 second and 200 milliseconds

second

For example: 10.1 is 10 second en 100 milliseconds

minutes

For example: 1.05 is 1 minuut en 5 seconds
For example: 10.0. is 10 minutes
HOLD The {FADE} fader has to be placed in the highest position. The {MASTER A} fader has to be placed in the highest position. All the preset faders (A and B) have to be placed in the lowest position. Place {PRESET A 1} at 75%. Place {PRESET A 2} at 50%.
Move {MASTER A} fader and {MASTER B} fader simultaneously to the highest position. Master A changes to 100% and Master B changes to 0%. You will a slow fade from the first scene to the second scene. You are working in the A-B preset mode. IMPORTANT: Move the {MASTER A} fader to 100% (highest position) and the {MASTER B} fader to 100% (lowest position). The CMX24 will choose for the highest values. Channel 1 at 100% Channel 2 at 50% (A:50% is higher then B:25%) Channel 3 at 75% (B:75% is higher then A:25%) This only works when BOTH masters are set at 100%. The highest intensity has priority PARK Set {MASTER A} fader and {MASTER B} fader at 50%, middle position. The scne is a combination of both presets. Press and hold the <PARK> button above the Master B fader. Master B will be set at 100% ( this is visible on the green leds). When a fade time is set, this will happen slowly. Press and hold the <1-24> button above the Master A fader. Master A will be set at 100% ( this is visible on the green leds). When a fade time is set, this will happen slowly. CHASE/SCENES mode This control mode allows you to store a scne or a chase of 24 channels in every Preset B fader. The CMX24 has 4 pages, so you can store altogether 48 scenes/chases. You can activate this mode like this: Press and release the <MODUS SELECT/REC SPEED> button until the [CHASE SCENES] lamp is lit above the master A/B faders.
Press and hold the <HOLD> button above the FADE fader. The led above this button is lit. Place {PRESET A 1} at 0%. Place {PRESET A 2} at 100%. Place {PRESET A 3} at 75%. Place {PRESET A 4} at 100%. The light effects keep the actual intensity. Release the <HOLD> button. The light effects will adapt directly to the new intensities. Using the HOLD button you can maintain the current scene while setting the next scene. Move the {FADE} fader until the display shows [10.0] (a fade time of 10 seconds) Press and hold the <HOLD> button. Place {PRESET A 1} at 100%. Place {PRESET A 2} at 10%. Place {PRESET A 3} at 75%. Place {PRESET A 4} at 0%. Release the <HOLD> button. The scne will change slowly (within 10 seconds) from the previous to the next. Youll get a perfect fade. The HOLD button always works despite of the current mode. DOUBLE PRESET MODE: In this mode you can use the control as an 12 channel A-B control. Change the mode to double preset: Press and release <MODUS SELECT/REC SPEED> until the [DOUBLE PRESET] lamp will be lit above the master A and master B faders.

Concepts:

Scene/Chase: A scne is 1 setting of the intensity of the 24 channels. This is in fact a chase with 1 scene. Only this setting will be showed constantly. A chase contains multiple scenes and each scene contains the intensity for 24 channels. The scenes will be showed one by one (and you can set the speed/fade time). You have 4 pages with each 12 PRESET B faders which each can contain a scene or a chase. So you can store 48 chases/scenes. Record mode:
Set the following faders: Place {PRESET A 1} fader at 100% Place {PRESET A 2} fader at 50% Place {PRESET A 3} fader at 25% Place {PRESET A 4 - 12} faders at 0% Place {PRESET B 1} fader at 0% Place {PRESET B 2} fader at 50% Place {PRESET B 3} fader at 75% Place {PRESET B 4} fader at 100% Place {PRESET B 5} fader at 50% Place {PRESET B 6 - 12} faders at 0% Place {MASTER A} fader at 0% (lowest position!!!) Place {MASTER B} fader at 0% (highest position!!!) No lamps will be lit. Move the {MASTER A} fader slowly to 100% (highest position). Channels 1 to 3 will be lit immediately to 100%, 50% and 25% Move {MASTER A} fader and {MASTER B} fader simultaneously to the lowest position. Master A will change to 0% and Master B will change to 100%. Channels 1 to 5 will be lit at 0%, 50%, 75%, 100% and 50%. You have made a fade from the first to the second scene. You can change this scene by moving the PRESET B faders. Moving the PRESET A faders doesnt change anything. Now, you can set the PRESET A faders to a new scene.
The CMX24 can work in 3 modes: o Safe mode, in this mode you cant change the programs o Program mode, in this mode you can save/erase programs o Edit mode, in this mode you can change programs Safe mode and program mode are always available, whether you are working in Single Preset, Double Preset or Chase/Scenes mode. The Edit mode is only available in the Chase/Scenes mode. Next drawing shows you how you can change from one modus to another.
Activate the program mode Press and hold the <RECORD/SHIFT> button Press and release the <PRESET A 1> button Press and release the <PRESET A 5> button Press and release the <PRESET A 6> button Press and release the <PRESET A 8> button Release the <RECORD/SHIFT> button

The lamp above the RECORD/SHIFT button is lit. !! The next procedure will delete the complete memory. Remember there is no way back!! Delete the complete memory: Press and hold the <RECORD/SHIFT> button Press and release the <PRESET A 1> button Press and release the <PRESET A 3> button Press and release the <PRESET A 2> button Press and release the <PRESET A 3> button Release the <RECORD/SHIFT> button Record a Scene (ONLY possible in program mode.) Be sure that the work memory is empty: Press and hold the <RECORD/SHIFT> button Press and release the <PAGINA/REC CLEAR> button Release the <RECORD/SHIFT> button Make your settings: If you want to set only 12 channels, u can use the Preset A faders. If you want to set 24 channels, you first have to select the Single Preset mode by using the <MODUS SELECT/REC SPEED> button. Set your channels by using the Preset A and Preset B faders. Example: Channel 1 = 100% Channel 2 = 27% Channel 3 = 60% Channel 4 to channel 8 = 0% Channel 9 = 72% Channel 10 = 30% Channel 11 = 0% Channel 12 = 95% Record this preset in the work memory: Press and release the <RECORD/SHIFT> button The display shows [001] 001 on the display indicates that you have recorded 1 scene in the working memory. Store the content of the working memory in the Preset B 1 fader of page 1: Select page 1 by pressing several times the <PAGINA/REC CLEAR> button till the lamp 1 is lit. Press and hold the <RECORD/SHIFT> button Press and release the <PRESET B 1> button Release the <RECORD/SHIFT> button You have now stored a scene in the PRESET B 1 fader of page 1. The working memory has been deleted.
How to recognize the mode: Safe mode : red lamp above the <RECORD/SHIFT> button isnt lit. Program mode : red lamp above the <RECORD/SHIFT> button is lit. Edit mode: yellow lamp above Preset B fader is lit, despite of the position of the fader.
Working memory During the programming (program mode) you will use the working memory. You will store the setting of light effects/lamps in this memory and afterwards to you will assign this setting to a Preset B fader. The working memory will maintain his content until you assign or erase (<RECORD/KILL> + <REC CLEAR>) the settings. This memory isnt used in Edit mode, there you change the setting of light effects/lamps that are already stored in a Preset B fader. In the next paragraphs, the methods to program and change chases/scenes are explained. Activate program mode Activate Program mode o Press and hold the <RECORD/SHIFT> button. o Press and release the <PRESET A 1> button o Press and release the <PRESET A 5> button o Press and release the <PRESET A 6> button o Press and release the <PRESET A 8> button o Release the <RECORD/SHIFT> button The red lamp above the RECORD/SHIFT button is lit. !! This mode will stay activated, even if the CMX24 is turned off, until you leave the mode. Its advised to leave this mode as soon as the scenes are programmed/changed. Doing this, you can avoid that other people, who are not used to work with the controller, will change your program. Leave program mode, go to secured mode To leave the program mode: Press and hold the <RECORD/SHIFT> button Press and release the <KILL/REC EXIT> button. Release the <RECORD/SHIFT> button The red lamp above the RECORD/SHIFT button goes out. If the lamp doesnt go out, it means that you are in Edit mode, repeat the complete procedure. Delete all You can delete the complete memory by doing this:

Use the <PRESET B x> button for the channels 13 to 24. The intensity will slowly increase on you fixtures and on your display Release the buttons, as soon as you have reached the desired intensity.
Reduce the intensity of channels: Press and hold the <DOWN/BEAT REV> button Press and hold the <PRESET A x> button of the channel where you want to have the intensity reduced Use the <PRESET B x> button for the channels 13 to 24. The intensity will slowly decrease on your fixtures an on your display. Release the buttons as soon as you have reached the desired intensity. !! The intensity that you have set will be directly stored, it is not possible to undo the modifications. To Exit the Edit mode: Press and hold the <RECORD/SHIFT> button Press and release the <KILL/REC EXIT> button Release the <RECORD/SHIFT> button The normal output is shown. Store a Chase A chase is a succession of scenes that are shown on a certain rhythm. The controller makes no difference between scenes and chases. A scene is in fact a chase with only 1step. So you will notice that the method of storing a chase is almost identical to the method of storing a scene. (At this time, program mode has to be active, if it is not; you will have to do that first) Be sure that the working memory is emtpy: Press and hold the <RECORD/SHIFT> button Press and release the <PAGINA/REC CLEAR> button Release the <RECORD/SHIFT> the We are going to make a chase, composed out of 4 scenes. Be sure that you work in program mode and that your master is not set to 0. Scene 1 Set the first scene: Channel 1 = 100% All the other chanels = 0% Now store this scene in the working memory: Press and release the <RECORD/SHIFT> button [001] appears on the display = first scene Scene 2 Set the second scene: Channel 2 = 100% All the other channels = 0% Now store this scene in the working memory: Press and release the <RECORD/SHIFT> button [002] appears on the display = second scene Scene 3 Set the third scene: Channel 3 = 100% All the other channels = 0% Now store this scene in the working memory: Press and release the <RECORD/SHIFT> button [003] appears on the display = third scene Scene 4 Set the fourth scene: Channel 4 = 100% All the other channels = 0% Now store this scene in the working memory:
Press and release the <RECORD/SHIFT> button [004] appears on the display = fourth scene
The four scenes are now stored in the working memory. Now we will store the working memory in the Preset B 7 fader of page 1: Select page 1 by pressing several times on the <PAGINA/REC CLEAR> till the Led 1 will lit. Press and hold the <RECORD/SHIFT> button Press and release the <PRESET B 7> button Release the <RECORD/SHIFT> button Now you just have stored a chase in the Preset B 7 fader. The working memory has been cleared. Play a Chase You can recall the stored chase in Chase/Scenes mode. Be sure that: Chase/Scenes mode is activated (by using the <MODUS SELECT/REC SPEED> button) {MASTER B} fader is at its lowest position {SPEED} fader is at its highest position {FADER} fader is at its highest position MIX Chase is activated; make this selection with the <PARK> button above the MASTER B fader, in Chase/Scenes mode. The [MIX CHASE] Led is situated at the top of the FADE fader, this must be Lit. Blackout is not activated Audio is not activated: press/release the <AUDIO> button till the [AUDIO] Led goes out. All the preset faders (A & B) are set at their lowest position. Move the {PRESET B 7} fader upwards. The chase will appear on the green Leds (and on your fixtures). U can also work with the: {SPEED} fader, the chase speed will be modified {FADE} fader: the scene will fade into the next scene. If the fade time is set too high, it can be possible that the lamps will not lit at full level, or maybe the chase will not move anymore. Manual activation of a Chase Sometimes it is usefull to activate manually every step in a chase. This can be done in a very easy way: {SPEED} fader at its lowest position: SHOW MODE Press and release the <STEP> button, situated at the top of the speed fader. Each time that you press the STEP button, the next step of the chase will be activated. Synchronize a Chase Very often, when you play music, you want to synchronize the speed of the chase with the beat of the music. The CMX24 offers you the possibility to press twice on a button, so that the interval time between the two moments will be used as speed setting for the chase. you can do it like this: Press twice the <TAP SYNC> button on the beat of the music. The interval time will be used to set automatically the chase speed. The position of the {SPEED} is not important. ! As soon as you move the {SPEED} fader, the chase time will be controlled again by this speed fader! Memorize the speed When several chases are running, the {SPEED} fader, the <STEP> button and the <TAP SYNC> button will influence all the chases. Sometimes it is useful to program a fix speed, so that the chase can not be influenced by the speed fader, the step and tap sync buttons while running. This can be done in a very easy way: Set the chase time by using the {SPEED} fader or the <TAP SYNC> button. Be sure that the {SPEED} fader is not set at its lowest position (SHOW MODUS). Press and hold the <MODUS SELECT/REC SPEED> Press and release the <PRESET B x> button of the PRESET B fader where the chase is stored Release the <MODUS SELECT/REC SPEED> button The chase speed is now stored in the PRESET B fader, together with the chase.

To delete: To delete the stored speed: Be sure that the {SPEED} fader is at its lowest position: SHOW MODE. Press and hold the <MODUS SELECT/REC SPEED> button Press and release the <PRESET B x> button of the PRESET B fader where the chase is stored Release the <MODUS SELECT/REC SPEED> button The time (speed) is erased from the PRESET B fader. Now you can modify again the speed of the chase by using the {SPEED} fader or the <TAP SYNC> button. Audio The CMX24 has a built-in microphone If you dispose of an audio source (CD player, audio mixer, etc) you can synchronise the speed of the chase with the sound. Connect the audio source with the LINE IN Cinch connector of the CMX24. Press the <AUDIO> button till the [AUDIO] Led will lit. Move the {AUDIO FADER} fader till the chase is synchronized with the music. To switch off the audio function: - Press and release the <AUDIO> button till the [AUDIO] Led goes out. Chase reverse You can reverse the working direction of a chase. There are 4 possibilities: ALL REV All the chases will be reversed. Press and release the <EDIT/REV ALL> button, the chase direction will be reversed. Repeat this to reverse again the chase direction. REV ONE Only one particular chase will be reversed Press and hold the <DELETE/REV ONE> button Press a <PRESET B x> button that is containig a chase. Release the <DELETE/REV ONE> button CHASE REV All the chases that have no speed stored in the preset B fader will be reversed. Press and release the <UP/CHASE REV> button: the case will be reversed. Repeat this to reverse again the chase direction. BEAT REV All the chases that have a speed stored in the preset B fader will be reversed. Press and release the <DOWN/BEAT REV> button: the chase will be reversed. Repeat this to reverse again the chase direction. To modify a Chase There are 3 ways to modify a chase. You can: A. Modify the output levels B. Add scenes C. Delete scenes A. Modify the output levels: Be sure that the program mode is activated. Be sure that Chase/Scenes is activated. Bring all the preset A faders to their lowest position Choose the page by using the <PAGINA/REC CLEAR> button Set the Preset B x fader in edit mode o Press and hold the <EDIT/ALL REV> button o Press and release the <PRESET B x> button o Release the <EDIT/ALL REV> button o The yellow Led on the top of the Preset B fader will Lit while the actual value is shown, Select the scene that you would like to modify by pressing the <STEP> button.

The easiest way to test this is to activate a chase (by using a preset B fader), then place one of the cannels in BLIND. Now you can adapt the intensity by using the preset A fader. This channel will not follow the chase anymore. However, the FULL-ON button will still activate the channel. To place the channel back in normal mode: o Press and hold the <HOME> button o Press and release the <Preset A x> button o Release the <HOME> button Preset B To disconnect the channels 13 to 24 from the preset B scenes/chases: o Press and hold the <BLIND> button o Press and release the <Preset B x> button o Release the <BLIND> button The level will only be determinated by using the preset B fader, master A fader and the flash buttons. You can set the intensity of the channel by using the preset B fader. The preset B fader will not be linked anymore to its stored scene/chases. To place the channel back in normal mode: o Press and hold the <HOME> button o Press and release the <Preset B x> button o Laat de <HOME> toets los o You will notice that the Preset B fader is directly used to activate the programmed scene/chase. Thats why it is better to place the de Preset B fader in the lowest position, before to activate the normal mode SINGLE CHASE De single chase mode is useful to create quickly different chases. When Single chase (indicate with the PARK button) is activated, the CMX24 will create chase, based on all the preset B faders that are not set to zero. Each preset B fader will be activated till all the fader positions are shown. Then, the next preset B fader will be shown. In this text, we consider that all the preset B faders in output 1 have a scene (1 to 6) or a chase (7 to 12) stored. Place the controller in Single Chase mode: Bring all the Preset A and B faders to the lowest position Be sure that the Chase/Scenes mode is activated Press and release the <PARK> button on top of the Master B fader The [SINGLE CHASE] Led on top of the {FADE} fader must be lit, if it is not, you will have to press again the <PARK> button To have a clear view of the effect you should first place the {FADE} fader in highest position and move the {SPEED} fader till the display shows [1.05] (1,05 second). Bring the preset B faders 1 to 4 to their highest position. Now you see a chase, composed of 4 scenes that are stored in the faders. You can set the speed by using the {SPEED} fader, the <STEP> button and the <TAP SYNC> button. By moving the preset B faders you can modify the chase. Try also to activate the preset B 7 to 12 faders. Like this you can quickly create several chases by combining scenes/chases that are stored in the preset B faders. Notice: If the preset B fader includes a speed setting (stored with REC SPEED), it will not be used. You can reverse the chase direction of the preset B faders with the REV ALL, REV ONE, CHASE REV and BEAT REV buttons, but you can not reverse the global chase, this one always goes from preset B 1 to preset B 12 Sometimes it looks like if the chase includes extra steps. You have to be sure that the preset B faders are set to zero. Control this with the display. Pressing the flash buttons of the preset B faders will add presets to the chase, sop you will have to wait till the chase activates the preset
