2.15. Getting Started Guide - Controlling moving lights
We have added some new fixtures, with a lot of new functions. That means that our preset type bar on the right side
of screen 1 have expanded. It now looks like this:
Try to select fixture 42 using the keys. Notice how the fixture view scrolls to allow you to see the selected fixture.
Pressing the different preset types in the preset bar allows you to see the different ways to control the different
functions of the fixtures.
In an effort to make this as easy as possible MA have made a series of different views that gives you fast access to
some of the most used functionality. You still have access to the raw values, so If you know exactly what value a
specific attribute should be at, then it might be better to use the raw faders.
How this is all organized is a part of the fixture profile. Unfortunately it's not possible to edit the fixtures directly in the
console.
We have already had a little look at this when we where working with colors in chapter 11. Here you were
introduced to The Picker, The Faders, The Swatchbook and The Raw values.
All the different Preset Types have the Raw values control on the right most tabs. In Raw you might experience that
there are more than 4 channels. But they are organized in groups of maximum four, to make it easy to use the
encoders to control the channels. They are often organized in smaller groups to separate different functions.
There is not one way this can look. They adapt depending on the fixtures in your show. The structure is similar for
most of the different preset types.
