ETC Element - Working with a Cue List

Storing and Using Presets 205
When you record data to a preset live, the channels involved in that preset will then actually be
in that preset.
Note: To access [Preset] on Element, press [Shift] & [Intensity Palette] or use the
{Preset} button in MLControls.
The following methods can be used to store presets using [Record]:
•
[Record] [Preset] [5] [Label] [name] [Enter] - records all parameter data for all channels
not at default and adds a label to preset 5.
•
[Record] [Preset] [Next] [Enter] - records data to the next sequential preset number.
•
[-] [2] [Record] [Preset] [n] [Enter] - stores the preset, withholding the group or channels
specified.
•
[channel list] [Record] [Preset] [6] [Enter] - stores the preset, but only the data for the
channel list supplied.
•
[Record] {Preset 1}- records the preset and shows it as the first preset direct select.
•
[channel list] {AllNPs} [Record] [Preset] [8] [Enter] - records all non-intensity parameters
for the selected channels to the preset.
Note: When using selective record, the user must specify the channel list to be
included (or excluded as the case may be) as part of the [Record] command. Otherwise,
all parameters of channels with non-home values will be stored in the preset.
Note: You may also use the filters and {Make Null} as additional tools to decide what
data will be stored. For more information on these features see Using {Make Null} (on
page257) and About Filters (on page250) .
When you re-record an existing Preset, a confirmation will be required, unless confirmations
have been disabled in Setup.
Storing Presets Using [Record Only]
[Record Only] is a selective record process that stores only manual parameter data. Therefore,
when used to record presets, only manual data for channels will be stored in the preset. As with
[Record], filters and {Make Null} can be used to further modify what information is stored. See
Storing Data with Record Filters (on page251) .
Double pressing [Record] will post Record Only to the command line.
The following methods can be used to store presets using [Record Only]:
•
[Record Only] [Preset] [5] [Label] [name] [Enter] - records manual parameter data for all
channels and adds a label to preset 5.
•
[Record Only] [Preset] [Next] [Enter] - records manual data to the next sequential preset
number.
•
[-] [3] [Record Only] [Preset] [n] [Enter] - stores the preset, withholding the group or
channels specified.
•
[Channel list] [Record Only] [Preset] [6] [Enter] - stores the preset, but only the manual
data for the channel list supplied.
•
[Channel list] {Color} [Record Only] [Preset] [7] [Enter] - stores only manual color data for
the specified channels to the preset.
