Make Null In Blind

When applied in Blind, {MakeNull} can be used to mask instructions in a cue after it has already been

stored. A {MakeNull} instruction can also be applied to channels/ parameters in palettes, presets,

and submasters, thereby removing the data from the target entirely, in the same way that [At]

[Enter] does.

When applied to channels/ parameters in cues, {Make Null} doesn’t remove the data from the cue, it

simply makes it unavailable for playback. It has the same effect on move instructions that it has on

tracked values.

Some examples of using {Make Null} in Blind are:

[Color Palette] [1] [Enter] [3] {Magenta} {MakeNull} [Enter] - removes all magenta parameter

data for channel 3 from color palette 1.

[Preset] [5] [Thru] [9] [Enter] {Intensity} {MakeNull} [Enter] - removes all intensity data for all

channels in presets 5 through 9.

[Cue] [8] [Enter] [2] [Thru] [7] {MakeNull} [Enter] - nulls all data for channels 2 through 7 in cue

[Cue] [9] [Enter] {Intensity} {MakeNull} [Enter] - nulls all intensity data for all channels in cue 9.

In the cue scenarios above, {Make Null} differs from using [At] [Enter] in that instead of allowing val-

ues established in previous cues to track in, {MakeNull} both restricts the recorded data from playing

back and prevents other values from tracking in. Therefore, if the cue were executed as an out-of-

sequence cue or asserted, no data would play back or track in for any nulled values.

Release

Release is an extension of the {Make Null} command in Blind. When Release is used, it behaves like

Make Null, but it also releases the channel and parameter data to its background state, if one is avail-

able, or fades out the intensity instead.

Release can be used to mask instructions in a cue after it has already been stored. The data is not

removed from the cue.

Release is applied in Blind by using the {Release} softkey or by using the [Release] hardkey.

[Cue] [3] [Enter] [2] {Release} [Enter] - releases all data for channel 2 in cue 3.

[Cue] [2] [Enter] [3] {Color} [Release] - releases the color data for channel 3 in cue 2.

Note: Release tracks forward through a cue list until the Release command is removed or a

move instruction happens.

When release has been applied, the released content will display in gray with a R in Blind.

A Release flag will also appear in the PlaybackStatus Display and the Cue List Index.
