Using Presets
Preset Controls
The preset controls can be used to set up desired lighting levels both in
operation and while recording. It’s possible to run a show entirely on the
Presets but generally these controls are used for recording or to make
impromtu changes to the stage lighting.
Channel Preset Faders
There are 2 rows of presets faders on the ESP II, the top row of faders is
Preset 1 and the bottom row is Preset 2, these faders can be used to
smoothly fade a light to the desired level. The output level produced by
the preset faders is dependent on the level of the Grand Master and the
P1 (or P2) fader.
Example
Bring the Grand Master and P1 Master faders to 10 (100%).
Move the Channel 1 Preset fader to 100% and you should see the lights
connected to that channel fade up to full level.
Now fade up Channel 2 to 5 (50%), check that the lights connected to
channel 2 are at about 1/2 level.
Finally fade the P1 Master down and Up to see how it scales the Channel
Preset faders.
