ETC Element - Editing Presets Live; Using the Preset List

Storing and Using Presets 207
Note: If used with submasters and cues, the data is not referenced. So if changes are
made to the effect in the preset, the effect saved to the submasters and cues will
remain unchanged.
The preset list display has a column for effects.
For more information, see Recording an Effect to a Preset (on page299) .
Editing Presets Live
There are two ways to edit a preset in Live. You may rerecord the preset or you may use
[Update].
Rerecord
Rerecording follows the conventions of [Record] and [Record Only]. The only exception is that a
confirmation is required to actually rerecord the preset.
Two different mode for rerecording:
•
[Record] [Preset] [5] [Enter] [Enter] - overwrites the content completely.
•
[Channel List] [Record] [Preset] [5] [Enter] [Enter] - merges the data.
Updating Presets
[Update] is used to record parameter modifications back to a preset. When updating, you must
specify the preset to be updated. You may do this using the keypad or the direct selects.
For the purposes of the following descriptions, assume that there are no active cues on stage.
Updating referenced values while cues are active is covered in Modifying Cues Live (on
page233) .
Example:
To update a preset, first recall the preset for any channels you wish to edit.
•
[1] [Thru] [5] [Preset] [1] [Enter]
-or-
•
[Recall From] [Preset] [1] [Enter]
Make required changes to the desired parameters using the keypad or virtual encoders
in the MLControls display. Once you have achieve the desired look, update the preset.
•
[Update] [Preset] [1] [Enter]
-or-
•
[Update] {Preset 1}
When updating a preset, only channels that are already in the preset will be updated. You need
to select channels or parameters to force new data into a preset when using [Update].
Using the Preset List
The preset list displays all recorded presets. The Preset List only allows you to change attributes;
no editing can be done directly in list view.
