16.3.1. All Groups and Cues
The behavior of groups and cues in relation to active shapes can be set via [
Menu][31]:
Shape Base:
•
Shape Base
~
(Free): Each new group or cue activated can change the shape base value and the shape
will follow its course with the new base values. In general, if you are storing colors, positions, shapes,
etc. in several submasters, and then you combine them, use this option.
•
Shape Base -(Fixed): Each new group or cue activated can change the shape base value and will also
stop the shape of any shape parameter over which we take control. In general, if you are storing
complete scenes, with dimmers and parameters in the same submaster, use this option.
Follow below to understand the difference between Shape Base
~
(Free) and -(Fixed) behaviors:
1. In submaster S1, load a group of several channels at 10% with a flash shape and some homed fixtures
with a circle shape.
2. In submaster S2, load a group of the same channels at 50% without a shape, and the same fixtures in a
new position, also without a shape. Observe the differences when activating and deactivating the S1 and
S2 submasters in different sequences:
Submasters Result ~ (Free) Result - (Fixed)
Start from blackout Blackout scene Blackout scene
Activate S1 Channels at 10% + flash and
fixtures at Home + circle
Channels at 10% + flash and
fixtures at Home + circle
Activate S2 Channels at 50% + flash and
fixtures in new po
circle.
Scene is mixture of both groups.
Channels at 50%, without flash, and fixtures
in new static position (without shape) -
scene is only from the last group.
