Storing Presets Using [Record]
The [Record] key will store all parameter data for channels with one or more parameters not at
their home values, as modified by the filter settings in the CIA. If filters are used, only the
parameters enabled by the filters are stored.
When you record data to a preset live, the channels involved in that preset will then actually be
in that preset.
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 343) and About Filters (on page 330) .
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 331) .
On Element Classic, 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.
