If you are recording a Preset the filter bar shows which parameters are being
recorded and which are not. You can click on any of the icons to either include it
or exclude it. Included parameters are highlighted.
For more information about presets and filters see Presets on page 5-45.
If you are applying a item that includes more than one parameter type you can
use the filter bar to filter out any parameters you don’t want to use. For example
you might have a Preset that includes Intensity, Position and Colour but you
only want to use the Colour part. In this case you would click on all the filter bar
icons except Colour before selecting the preset.
When you are applying presets from the Components panel the Preset will fade
in over the ‘Live Time’ . For example you might be working in the Live
programmer tab and want to fade some lights into a colour or position over
several seconds. To do you use the Live Time window:
