Manual Control 253
Note: If any manual control action is taken immediately after a [Record], [Record
Only], or [Update] command, the previously selected channels will automatically be
reselected.
[Shift] & [At] and [Shift] & [Enter]
•
[Shift] & [At] - recalls last channel(s) and parameters without terminating; does a loop of
last five commands.
•
[Shift] & [Enter] - reselects the last command and leaves it unterminated; does a loop of
last five commands.
Select All
Pressing [Shift] & [Select Last] will give the additional softkey option, {Select All}. {Select All}
will select all channels.
Select Active
The [Select Active] key is used to select all channels that currently have intensity levels above
zero. Pressing [Select Active] once will capture all active levels. Pressing [Select Active] twice
will capture all active manual levels and those from playbacks except for submasters. Select
NonSub Active will post to the command line.
The following examples illustrate the how to select channels using [Select Active]:
•
[Select Active] [Enter] - selects all active channels with intensity levels above zero.
•
[Select Active] [Record] [Group] [x] [Enter] - records active channels to the target group.
•
[Select Active] [Sneak] [Enter] - selects all channels with intensity above zero and
restores manual control to the background state, using default sneak time, if enabled.
•
[1] [Thru] [1] [0] [0] [Select Active] [Enter] - selects channels between 1 and 100 with
intensity levels above zero.
On a completed command line, using [At] or [Select Last] after [Select Active] or [Select
Manual] will post the numeric channel list to the command line.
For example, cue 1 is active, and has channels 1 through 5 at full. Using the syntax, [Select
Active] [Enter] [At] will post channels 1 through 5 onto the command line.
Another example, Channels 10 through 20 have a manual level of 75. Using [Select Manual]
[Enter] [Select Last] will put channels 10 through 20 onto the command line.
Note: On Ion Classic and Element Classic, {Select Active} is a softkey.
Select Manual
The [Select Manual] key is used to select all channels that currently have manual data. You
may use [Select Manual] combined with the parameter control keys to capture only certain
parameters of a channel with manual data.
The following examples illustrate the various methods to select channels using [Select
Manual]:
•
[Select Manual] [Enter] - selects all channels with manual data.
•
[Select Manual] [Color Palette] [1] [Enter] - selects all channels with manual levels and
sets them to color palette 1.
•
[Color] [Select Manual] [Color Palette] [1] [Enter] - selects only channels with manual
color values and sets them to color palette 1.
