Channel checks before a show

[sicole]

Hi,

 

I use an Illusion 120 and recently delved into the area of macros. On a show night before the audience come in, I go through each channel fading them up to 100% to verify that they are ok (as a lamp is more than likely going to blow when it is cold).

 

Is there a way to setup a macro to go through each channel and fade up to 100% and fade down again? If not a macro, maybe some other automated way of doing it? It becomes hard work when you have over 50 channels to go through!! I tried doing it but could not get lamps to fade up, just come up to full straight away which increases the risk of blowing the lamp.

 

Thanx in anticipation.

The easiest way is probably to program a chase memory in which each step contains a single channel at 100%. Set the attack modifier to fade, and adjust the speed as required.

 

Save this as say memory 999 and then run this memory to check out all your channels.
