the console. This allows live changes to be made to specials instantly.
Midi notes can be used to trigger channels or submasters. A sound to light jack allows for chases

Manual lighting control with timed crossfades and sequence functions

The Juggler provides manual lighting control for the smaller stage, offering the
perfect solution to uncomplicated lighting plots.
The Juggler is a two preset, 12 channel desk with a wide mode feature that
allows 24 channel operation. Channel faders are set in a conventional two preset
layout for easy crossfading. Each preset has its own fade time control allowing
smooth fades to be achieved over periods as long as 5 minutes. All crossfades
are true dipless. This ability to hold constant lighting levels and varying fade times
allows sophisticated lighting plots to be replayed simply and accurately.
The Juggler has channel flash buttons enabling the creation of lively lighting effects.
These can be disabled by the flash on/off switch to prevent accidental use.

The Juggler also offers a sequence feature allowing users to program chases or
playback stacks. Up to 12 sequences of 99 steps can be recorded on the desk.
(Only 1 of the 12 sequences may be output at any given time).

Sequences can be played back using the auto function with the ability to set the
chase time using the speed pot. Sequences can also be stepped through manually.
In manual mode the time pot used for the A/B faders can be used to set the fade
time between steps. To allow seamless integration of a chase into a look there is
a sequence master. Sequence steps can contain single or multiple channels.
