HOW TO USE - AS DMX-CONTROLLER
USE IN MANUAL MODE
The simplest way to use the Scenemaster:
Press the SCENE/MANUAL button (4) to switch the controller to manual mode.
Open the master fader (7).
Use the CHANNEL faders (1) and FLASH buttons (2) to create the desired output.
Remark: use the DISPLAY button (6) to show the desired DMX-values on the display (0-512 or 0-100%).
USE IN SCENE MODE
A scene is a combination of different fader positions, this scene can be programmed under one fader.
Moving this fader up while the controller is set to scene mode will recall all these different fader positions in
one time.
Press the SCENE/MANUAL button (4) to switch the controller to scene mode.
Open the master fader (7).
Two ways to recall scenes:
Use the CHANNEL faders (1) to recall the saved scenes gradually (0-100%). Once a CHANNEL
fader is moved up a little, you can use the corresponding FLASH button (2) to set the scene
instantly at 100%. When you release the FLASH button, the scene goes back to the output you
have set with the CHANNEL fader. Several scenes can be mixed together.
Use the FLASH buttons (2) to switch the saved scenes on/off. (fader of the corresponding scene
should be closed!) Several scenes can be mixed together.
Remark: use the DISPLAY button (6) to show the desired DMX-values on the display (0-512 or 0-100%).
PROGRAM SCENES – BASED ON CHANNEL FADER POSITIONS
A. Scenes can only be programmed while the unit is set in "program mode". So first enter "program mode"
by pressing the SCENE/MANUAL (4) and PROGRAM (8) buttons together red "program LED" is lit.
B. Use the SCENE/MANUAL button (4) to set the controller to "MANUAL".
C. Use the CHANNEL faders (1) to set the desired scene. (scene is present on the DMX-output)
D. Press the PROGRAM button (8) to check which channel faders already have scenes programmed:
Channel with NO scene programmed: the STATUS LED (3) of this channel is dark.
Channel with scene programmed: the STATUS LED (3) of this channel is lit.
You can save a new scene to an empty channel or overwrite an existing scene.
E. To program the current scene to a channel fader: keep the PROGRAM button (8) pressed while you
press the FLASH button (2) of that channel. (the leds flash 3x to confirm that the scene was saved)
F. If you want to program other scenes, just repeat steps C to E.
G. Press the SCENE/MANUAL (4) and PROGRAM (8) buttons again to stop "program mode" (the red
"program LED" turns dark)
PROGRAM SCENES – BASED ON EXISTING SCENES AND CHANNEL FADER POSITIONS
To speed up your work, you can also make new scenes by combining already existing scenes with simple
fader positions. To do so you can switch between SCENE and MANUAL mode whenever you like.
A. Scenes can only be programmed while the unit is set in "program mode". So first enter "program mode"
by pressing the SCENE/MANUAL (4) and PROGRAM (8) buttons together red "program LED" is lit.
B. Use the SCENE/MANUAL button (4) to set the controller to "SCENE".
C. Use the CHANNEL faders (1) to recall some the scenes. (scene is present on the DMX-output)
D. Use the SCENE/MANUAL button (4) to set the controller to "MANUAL".
E. Use the CHANNEL faders (1) to make adjustments on the current scene combination.
F. Press the PROGRAM button (8) to check which channel faders already have scenes programmed:
Channel with NO scene programmed: the STATUS LED (3) of this channel is dark.
Channel with scene programmed: the STATUS LED (3) of this channel is lit.
You can save a new scene to an empty channel or overwrite an existing scene.
G. To program the current scene to a channel fader: keep the PROGRAM button (8) pressed while you
press the FLASH button (2) of that channel. (the leds flash 3x to confirm that the scene was saved)
H. If you want to program other scenes, just repeat steps B to G.
I. Press the SCENE/MANUAL (4) and PROGRAM (8) buttons again to stop "program mode" (the red
"program LED" turns dark)
Remark: you can move a channel fader up and down to unlock it and set a new value. If you close the
channel fader, the original value remains unchanged.

EDIT SCENES
Any programmed scene can still be edited using the following steps:
A. Scenes can only be edited while the unit is set in "program mode". So first enter "program mode" by
pressing the SCENE/MANUAL (4) and PROGRAM (8) buttons together red "program LED" is lit.
B. Use the SCENE/MANUAL button (4) to set the controller to "SCENE".
C. Press the FLASH button (2) of the scene that needs to be edited: the corresponding status led (3) starts
flashing while the scene is shown on the DMX-output, ready to be adapted.
D. Use the SCENE/MANUAL button (4) to set the controller to "MANUAL".
E. Use the CHANNEL faders (1) to make adjustments on the current scene combination.
F. Use the SCENE/MANUAL button (4) to set the controller again to "SCENE".
G. To save the changes, keep the PROGRAM button (8) pressed while you press the FLASH button (2) of
the scene with flashing status led (3). (the leds flash 3x to confirm that the scene was saved)
H. If you want to edit other scenes, just repeat steps B to G.
I. Press the SCENE/MANUAL (4) and PROGRAM (8) buttons again to stop "program mode" (the red
"program LED" turns dark)
Remark: you can move a channel fader up and down to unlock it and set a new value. If you close the
channel fader, the original value remains unchanged.
DELETE SCENES
Any programmed scene overwritten by a new scene or deleted. Deleting a scene is in fact nothing more than
overwriting it with an empty scene:
A. Scenes can only be deleted while the unit is set in "program mode". So first enter "program mode" by
pressing the SCENE/MANUAL (4) and PROGRAM (8) buttons together red "program LED" is lit.
B. Use the SCENE/MANUAL button (4) to set the controller to "MANUAL".
C. Use the CHANNEL faders (1) to make an "empty scene": all faders are closed + status leds are dark.
D. Keep the PROGRAM button (8) pressed (status leds of channels with scenes are lit): and push the
FLASH buttons (2) of the scenes that you want to remove. The status leds (3) of the deleted scenes will
turn dark.
E. Press the SCENE/MANUAL (4) and PROGRAM (8) buttons again to stop "program mode" (the red
"program LED" turns dark)
HOW TO USE – MIDI FUNCTIONS
MIDI CHANNEL SETUP
To ensure that the controller sends/receives MIDI-data on the desired channel, follow these steps:
Press the DISPLAY MODE button (6) for about 3seconds, until the led starts flashing.
Use the MASTER fader (7) to select the desired MIDI-channel. (01 to 16)
Press the DISPLAY MODE button (6) for about 3seconds, until the led stops flashing.
Done!
MIDI OUT FUNCTION (USE AS MIDI CONTROLLER)
Used to control all kinds of MIDI-applications. For example you can use the Scenemaster to control:
Video software like: Arkaos GrandVJ, Resolume, and many other ...
DMX light software like: DMX-Creator, Daslight, Sweetlight, and many other ...
All kinds of other MIDI controllable applications.
In both scene mode and manual mode MIDI is sent. (DMX and MIDI can be used together)
Just use the CHANNEL faders (1), MASTER fader (7) and FLASH buttons (2) to control your MIDI-
applications running on PC. (MASTER fader only works on unit 1)
Remark: use the DISPLAY button (6) to switch the display to MIDI-values (0-127).
MIDI COMMANDS
Control Change messages are sent with status 0xBn kk vv, where n is the MIDI-channel, for the specified CC
controller. Thus the controller MIDI ID is indicated with the channel along with the CC number.
