overwrite the old memory.

output is at zero. To illustrate this, try the Page Overlay
example with a fade time of 5 seconds. At step 6, fade
Memory Master 1 to 0 and wait for the outputs to reach 0
before fading the Master to full again. Note that the Preview
light stops flashing when the page has changed.

*

Blind Programming

Using the Level Match feature in Program with the Preset A
Master at 0 allows creation and editing of scenes ‘blind’.
When editing scenes, obtain a Level Match of the channel(s)
concerned, then simply edit as required. Scenes may be
similarly created from scratch.
