One of the most powerful features of the Event is its ability to work as a single preset
board outputting double the number of channels normally available. In applications
where colour scrollers or moving lights are being controlled this feature greatly
extends the usefulness of the console. An Event 24, for instance could control 48
colour scrollers.
NOTE:
WIDE should be turned on before any Memories or Chases have been recorded.
When WIDE is turned on the number of available Memories is reduced.
Once a console has been set to WIDE the Preset 2 faders are used to control the
higher numbered channels. For example, on an Event 48 the Preset 2 faders would
control channels 49 to 96. The Preset 2 Master fader is disabled.
When Wide mode is on an indicator appears at the far right end of the right LCD
window. W1 indicates the desk is in Wide mode with a single preset, W2 indicates
the desk is in Wide mode with dual presets.

NOTE:
If more than double the number of channels are selected in step 5 you will need
a slave console to control the extra channels (see Section 24.00).

all the Preset faders on the console to be used as a single preset. On an Event
