Program Mode
Introduction
Program Mode on the desk is used to select and create new memories or
submasters and enter lighting data. Once a memory has been created it can be
modified within Program Mode, and the contents re-stored.
Memory Types
There are two memory types which can be programmed on the Jester desk. They are
SCENE memories and CHASE memories.
A SCENE memory consists of a single static state, recording the output level of each
desk channel.
A CHASE memory consists of a number of steps (maximum of 999 steps). Each step
consists of a single static state, recording the output level of each channel.
The up or down cursor buttons are used to select the required memory, whilst the
LCD is displaying the <Mem:> field. The LCD shows the selected memory number,
along with its associated fade time(s) and its name. If the memory being programmed
is a CHASE, the LCD also shows the current step number. The PRESET faders are
used to set the output levels and the PROGRAM/GO button used to save the levels
to memory.
Submaster Types
Scenes and Chases can also be recorded onto Submaster faders. These faders
allow you to fade in scenes or chases on a single fader, whilst in Run mode.
Pressing a channel flash button whilst in Program mode allows you to select the
required submaster for programming. The Jester has 2 pages of 12(24) submasters,
totalling 24(48). In Program mode, PRESET A represents submasters 1-12(24) and
PRESET B represents submasters 13-24(25-48).
Low Memory Warning
The Jester has a maximum capacity of 500 memories, plus 24(48) submasters. Each
memory may be a SCENE or a CHASE. The number of CHASE steps may cause the
total number of memories to be less than 500. The desk software monitors the
amount of memory used and displays a warning when the memory available is
getting low, and when there is none left.
NOTES
Recording Output Values
It is recommended that the GRAND MASTER is set to full (100%) when programming
memories. Otherwise the output values may not be as expected when the memories
are replayed in RUN Mode. The Jester stores scenes with the internal levels
BEFORE the grand master.
Desk Channels
All desk channels are recorded into every memory or submaster, and are mixed on a
highest-takes-precedence (HTP) basis.
