This is a rather unique category in that it doesn’t do any filtering per se , but it does allow you to
change the default filters used in the Load Options window.
It is of course possible to use several different filters simultaneously. For example:
In this case, we will be loading the pan/tilt and gobo effect values, whether they have a non-null
value or not (Whole Fixture) and we will be merging them into the programmer.

desired softkey on the Group touch screen.

You can also press and hold the Load button and
then touch the desired Group. When you release the Load button, the group will be loaded.
All attributes of the selected Group (based on the filters you have selected) will be loaded into the
programmer. If any of those attributes are driven to a level by a cue or submaster, that level
information will be loaded into the programmer. Note that it is quite possible that more than one
cue or submaster may be affecting different attributes of an individual fixture. If this is the case,
then the level information from all the different cues and submasters will be loaded into the
programmer
14
. You can then make changes as desired and save them to a new group, cue or
preset or merge them into an existing group, cue or preset.

It is possible to capture the entire output of the console very rapidly and create a “snapshot” of
the current look using the Load function. To do so use the following syntax:
“.” (decimal) 0 Enter Load Load
Set Pressing this button will cause the Maxxyz console to “remember”
any of the filters you have applied so that the next time you press
Load, those same filters will be selected. Note: there is no feedback
when you press this button (it doesn’t change color).
Reset Pressing this button will cause the Load Options window to return to
its default filter setting.
13. Alternatively, you can press the following keys on the keypad: Load Group xx Enter. Using the
keypad allows you to use modifiers such as “ + ,” “ - ,” and “ Thru .”
14. This is sometimes known as “capturing the state” of the fixture(s).
