Special Functions
The functions listed in this section can be used for cues, submasters, groups and focus
points.
Except
If you need to record a cue, submaster, group or focus point and there are levels on stage
you don’t want to include in the record, you can use the [Except] command to remove a
channel, group, cue or submaster from the record instruction.
Record using [Except]:
Step 1: Select channels using the procedure described in Select Channels, Dimmers
and Fixtures, page 72 .
Step 2: Set levels using the procedure described in Set Levels, page 75 and Moving
Light Control, page 80 .
Step 3: Press [Record] <Cue> [ x ] , where [ x ] is the target cue number. You can replace
<Cue> with [Sub] , [Group] or [Focus Point] .
Step 4: Press:
•
[Except] [ y ] , where [ y ] is the channel number you want to exclude.
• [Except] [Group] [ y ] , where [ y ] is the group number, to exclude channels in
that group.
• [Except] [Sub] [ y ] , where [ y ] is the submaster number, to exclude channels
in that submaster.
• [Except] [Cue] [ y ] , where [ y ] is the cue number, to exclude channels in that
cue.
Step 5: Press [Enter] .
Solo
The [S3 - Solo] command can be used in a similar way as [Except] to limit channels that
are recorded into a cue, submaster, group or focus point. When you use [Except] , you
need to know and select all the channels you want to exclude from a record command. With
[S3 - Solo] , you can select the channels you want to record, and exclude all unselected
channels. When used in this way, [S3 - Solo] does not force any channel levels to zero, so
your Stage output is not affected.
N o t e :
[S3 - Solo] causes only SELECTED channels, not captured channels to be recorded.
Make sure that all the channels you want to include are selected, not just captured.
Record using [S3 - Solo]:
Step 1: Select channels using the procedure described in Select Channels, Dimmers
and Fixtures, page 72 .
Step 2: Set levels, if required, using the procedure described in Set Levels, page 75 and
Moving Light Control, page 80 .
Step 3: Press [Record] <Cue> [ x ] , where [ x ] is the target cue number. You can replace
<Cue> with [Sub] , [Group] or [Focus Point] .
Step 4: Press <S7 - More Softkeys> [S3 - Solo] .
