Common Scene Setter 24 errors & problems
What techs run into most, and what's usually behind it. The step-by-step fix for your exact unit is in Ask Roadie.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
Chase runs too fast/slow or steps are choppy
Likely cause: Speed, fade and tap/audio each affect chase timing independently; the 'choppy/wrong speed' complaint is almost always one of these set wrong.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
Console is completely dead / no LCD, no lights
Likely cause: It is bus-powered from an external DC brick; a lost/wrong adapter is the most common 'totally dead' cause.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
Faders in the second bank do nothing / only some channels respond
Likely cause: The A/B crossfade governs which fader bank outputs; a parked crossfader is the usual 'half my faders are dead' cause.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
Fixtures do not respond / no DMX output even though faders are up
Likely cause: Most 'no output' calls are cable type, addressing, fixture mode, or an engaged blackout — not a dead console.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
How do I control the Scene Setter over MIDI?
Likely cause: MIDI note-to-scene mapping is channel-specific; mismatched channels are the usual reason MIDI triggering 'does nothing'.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
How do I lock/unlock scenes and chases with the password?
Likely cause: Protection blocks Record; 'can't reprogram' on a second-hand unit is usually an unknown lock still set.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
How do I run lights to music (sound-to-light)?
Likely cause: Sound activation advances the running chase from detected beats; sensitivity set too high/low is the common 'not reacting' complaint.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
Is there a firmware update for the Scene Setter 24?
Likely cause: Prevents techs from chasing a nonexistent firmware fix on this analog-era console.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
Need every channel to full instantly
Likely cause: FULL ON is a momentary override to 100%, separate from recorded scenes.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
What are the full specs of the Scene Setter 24?
Likely cause: Baseline reference so techs know channel count, control modes, connectors and power at a glance.
