Cask & Cube Scene Library

Layout: Par cans (slots 1–4) on the opposite wall, upper left corner, ~8ft up, aimed at the table. Moving heads (slots 5–6) in the two corners behind you, sweeping the room.
Fader tip: Board markings 0–10 map to DMX 0–255. "8" = fader at the 8 mark.
Moving head speed: High value = slow motor. Set Speed CH (addr 073 / 089) to 200–230 in each scene for smooth chase transitions. Speed only takes effect when the chase steps to a new position — it won't move during static scene programming.
