At any time, keying [channel][X][@][enter] should release the level of a channel. This would allow levels to track through from previous memories in tracking mode, and simply take channels out in cue only mode.

In Tracking Mode - the syntax for 'unprogramming' (releasing ?) a channel is :

 

CHANNEL X @ CLEAR

 

Ref: Illusion 120/240 Operating Manual - Page 4-8.

 

Not sure what you mean by Cue Only Mode - is this a special situation within Tracking, or is it Non-Tracking Mode or something else ?

 

Currently, the only way channels can be 'unprogrammed' in non-tracking mode is if they are part of a multi-part scene memory; in all other memory types, all channels are always programmed.

Cue Only Mode =

 

Changes made to channel levels apply, by default, to the cue specified only. They do not track. If one were to want the changes to track, one would have to specify to track. This is something this console does not currently do (even if the tracking worked, which it currently does not; Tim says the fix is on the way though, so I am working off that being done).

 

In tracking mode, there then should be a way to specify "CUE ONLY" so the changes made are applied to the specified cue only.

 

@ Enter clears a recorded level and allows the previous level to track through (is so desired):

 

1. @ enter - current programming is lost, previous memory levels track through

 

2. @ clear - takes out the programed level CUE ONLY

We are currently developing the software for the llusion 500 and one of the things we are looking at is improving the Tracking Mode and including a new "Cue Only" function.

 

Illusion Reference No 4465 - Tracking Mode - Cue Only Function.

 

The exact user interface and command line syntax details are still to be defined as we don't want to change any existing command structures, only add new ones in, where necessary.

 

Therefore the commands may not be exactly as you suggest but hopefully the required functionality will be there.
