Grabbing channels in the editor and on stage
The are some specialized channel selection key sequences that allow you to grab channels
that are in the editor and “on stage” (their output derives from a playback device).
In the examples below, channels 1, 5, 8, and 20 are present in the editor.
• (CHANNEL) [5] [→] [→] [8] selects channels 5 and 8. If there are channels within
the selected range, whose output originates from A/B or the controllers they are also
selected when using this sequence.
• (CHANNEL] [→] [→] selects all the channels present in the editor and on stage.
This selection tool is useful when universally modifying all the channels contained in a
memory. Example: you want to add 10% to all the intensity assignments in memory 1.
The keypress sequence is: [MEM 1] [CHAN [→ →] [wheel].
• [5] [→] [→] selects channels 5, 8, and 20 and any channels on-stage.
• (CHANNEL) [1] [→] selects all the channels (from channel 1 to the last channel) in
the system.
• (CHANNEL) [1] [→] [8] selects all the channels included in the range.
Assigning Intensity Levels
After selecting channels use the [@] key and the numeric keypad, the Dimmer wheel, or
using the absolute intensity assignment keys [FULL] and [ZERO] to assign dimmer
levels.
[FULL] brings the dimmer to 100% intensity.
[ZERO] forces the channel to 0% output.
[ON] assigns 50%. Accessed with the [SHIFT] key..
Dimmer level assignments using @
When using the [@] key, entering a single digit is understood as a whole decimal number
(4 is 40%, 6 is 60%, etc.). If subdecimal intensity assignments, use the dot (4.5 = 45%,
etc.). If the system is defined 'USA' enter 45 on the keypad to obtain 45% and enter 60 on
the keypad to obtain 60%. (See Chapter 19 System Configuration)
Example: Assign 70% intensity to channel 5.
