Sweet programming!!

Recommended Posts

Last week I noticed something... there is a way of somewhat programming individual parameters!

For instance; when you program a shutter chase, it is possible to alter something in the beamshape menu, without affecting the chase. That way you can create a shutter chase, and manually add a gobo. I don't know if this was an already known fact, but it's kinda neat as a solution for individual parameter programming. The only thing is you'll have to "add" things with the wheels, of course when you press a pallet all info is lost and the chase stops (I think).

 

 

Oh well, it's not individual parameter programming, but it saves some work in some situations.

No, I mean running a chase on (for example) the shutter parameter and then changing the gobo. I thought, because you program the whole beamshape group; the gobo would reset on every step of the chase (since you programmed it!) but that's not true. When you program a chase, and only alter the shutter parameter; the gobowheel is left alone. That means when you execute the chase, you can change the gobo and It'll stay on that one.

It works for more fixtures too.

 

For instance; program a shutter chase:

FX1 strobes -> FX2 strobes -> FX3 strobes etc.

 

Select all fixtures and scroll in a gobo, it'll stay there for all fixtures until you restart the chase!
