Up to 108 memories can be programmed and saved. The memories are accessed via 9 submaster faders on 12 pages. The programmed memories can also be used to program 12 separate sequences each of which can contain a maximum of 250 steps. The sequences can be played back either manually as a playback stack, or automatically as a chase.

Crossfade times, sequence drive, sequence speed, and sequence direction are not recorded, but are adjusted live by the user in Run Mode. Sequence direction can be forwards, backwards, bounce or random.
