Controller Modes The Obey 6 has the following operating modes. For detailed instructions on how to use these modes, and how each mode interacts with other modes, read the user manual available from www.chauvetlighting.com.

Preset Colors The 18 preset color buttons assign a color to each addressed fixture or fixture group.

Auto This mode uses built-in programs to change each fixture independently among random colors.

Chases These preset chases offer several color combinations that cycle the LEDs on and off so that the lights appear to move along a string.

Color Fade This built-in color fade program creates a serial chase through fixtures 1-6.

Color Macro These preset color macros have varying intensities.

Sound This feature creates a sound-activated show using the Color Fade, Auto, and Chase modes.

Momentary/ An all-red, all-green, all-blue, all-amber, all-white or all-UV operating mode can create a stable wash or spot for varying lighting needs. When in Preset mode, these are single-color buttons.

Strobe This mode produces flashes of light at regular intervals. These intervals are set by moving the strobe speed fader.

Blackout Darkens all fixtures.

Manual Set this mode to use a manually selected custom color combination determined by the positions of the red, green, blue, amber, white, and UV faders.

To operate any of the modes that offer amber, white, or UV color options, the selected fixture must be capable of outputting that corresponding color light.
