More if's
There are two "If" macros that I would like to introduce. They are called "IfActive" and "IfProg". Together with our
regular IfOutput from the
If
Key, we have a lot of nice options to select our fixtures.
Let's clear our programmer by using a nice tool. Press and hold the
key while you press the
Off
key. This
opens the
Off..
window. Here you can turn off running executors, clear the programmer, reset special masters or all
of the above. We want to start from scratch so please tap where it says Everything Off . Now run cue 1 on the main
executor.
Now press the following keys
If
Please
. This executes an IfOutput command. That means that you select all
fixtures currently having an output above 0% will be selected. This is nice. If you now do an Invert, than you have all
the fixtures that are currently not on.
Let's look at the two others. Try to tap IfActive . This doesn't do anything (well, it deselects the current selection).
For them to work we have to have something in our programmer. Select fixtures 21 thru 24 and give then a nice
color. Press
Clear
once. Now to reselect them you can tap the IfActive macro. That is because they have active
values in your programmer (there's a red marker by the color preset bar - showing you active values). Now store this
on an empty executor and press
Clear
one time only (this is important). Now try the IfActive macro again. Now it
doesn't work. The fixtures still have their values in the programmer, but they are no longer active! So try the IfProg
macro instead. This reselects the fixtures.
If you want to you can delete the executor we just stored - it was just for show and tell.
That was a look at some of the macros - there are others that are not described here. If you want to learn more
about them then you should read the help file for the Macro view.
In the next chapter we are going to use some of them a little bit more.
3.21. Guide de démarrage - Conception de chenillards
Ok, maintenant que nous savons faire de sympathiques copies circulaires, nous allons essayer d'en faire un
chenillard.
Commençons par ajouter une nouvelle page. Pressez

un "Tout éteindre" en utilisant simultanément les touches

Conception d'une Liste de Cues
Les chenillards sont des Listes de cues qui fonctionnent avec une vitesse a la place des temps définis lors de
l'enregistrement des cues. La plupart du temps ils fonctionnent en boucle, mais il existe d'autres options.
La première chose à faire est de créer une Listes de cues.
Sélectionnez tous les X4 en utilisant le group.
