Strand 300

[andytan]

Hi guys

 

Anyone know how to access the 'bump mode' key in the Strand 300?

 

I know it's on the 500, but it's not on the 300, and somehow the bump mode has changed from flash to some sort of sticky on/off funtion.

 

I beleive that 'V' on the external keyboard controls this function, but I'm not sure how to use the 'V', I've tried pressing it a few ways with no avail.

 

 

Any ideas?

AHA!!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who's suffered this annoyance!

Sticky fingers playing with functions they don't understand can cause problems with things like the bumps.

Only thing is, I can't recall now how to get at it....

I'll try to take a gander when I'm down later this week.

This any good?

 

 

Submaster Bump Modes

 

You can record a bump mode for each individual submaster. To record a bump mode you must be in the Submaster display. To change the bump mode, press _{to see the submaster display, and hold down the [sHIFT] key and move the trackball to change to edit mode. Select the Bump field for the appropriate submaster and use the [+] or [-] keys or the level wheel to change the bump mode. All submasters are initially set to Flash mode.}

 

_{Off Pressing the bump button does nothing.}

_{Flsh (Flash) Pressing the bump button is same as moving the submaster fader to 10. The output is set to the level of the Flash Supermaster.}

_{Solo (Solo) Pressing the bump button leaves the output of the submaster the same. All other (non-bumped) submasters, as well as effects, cues, and the Channel Control, are set to zero. The Flash Supermaster is ignored.}

_{F+S (Flash plus Solo) Pressing the bump button is same as moving the submaster fader to 10. The output is set to the level of the Flash Supermaster. All other (non-bumped) submasters, as well as effects, cues, and the Channel Control, are set to zero.}

_{Mac Disables the bump button's flash and solo operation and instead allows it to trigger the macro with the same number as the bump button (not the macro assigned to the bump button)}

_{The submaster bump buttons are also controlled by the {KEYS LATCH} soft key accessed using the [bUMP MODE] key. This softkey appears in the centre LCD (consoles with 3 LCD displays) or right LCD (consoles with 2 LCD displays) as labels above the soft keys. The setting of the this softkey determines the operation of the submaster bump keys and the operation of the {BUMP} softkey on the channel control display. The other softkeys, {FLASH}, {SOLO} and {FLASH + SOLO}, control the action of the {BUMP} softkey on the channel control display and have no effect on the submaster bump keys. For information on setting the action of the channel control {BUMP} softkey, refer to Bumping Channel Levels}

sounds like you are in 'keys latch' mode... you want to be in 'keys on' mode - look at the LCD after you pressed it, you should have some softkeys appear - make sure it is the right case (upper or lower) - can't be more specific... long time since I've touched one a strand desk...

 

I don't think your problem is specifically submaster related - more of a global setting

There is no "bump mode" key on the 300, so you're right in saying it has to be accessed via the external keyboard by a 'V' (and that's an upper case V).

 

Look at the LCD or on-screen mimic, and then use the soft keys to change the mode as per the 4/500 series - if a "bar" appears over an item in the LCD, then its enabled, so you want "FLASH" selected and "KEYS LATCH" unselected for the default behavior.

Had a look today... Was actually dead easy (not obvious).

 

Sure enough, [sHIFT+v] on the keyboard bought up the 'Bump Mode' screen on the display on the console (not the external monitor like I had thought). Just changed it from 'Keys Latch' to 'Flash'.
