3. Controlling dimmers and fixtures
This chapter contains: Selecting fixtures and dimmers for control;
changing attributes of the selected fixtures; using groups.
When you are programming a show, and sometimes when you are
running a show, you need to manually control the fixtures and dimmers
to set the intensity, position, colour, etc. To do this you first select the
fixtures you want to change using the Swop buttons, then you set the
attributes of those fixtures using the Wheels and Attribute buttons.

3.1.1 Selecting fixtures and dimmers for control
To select the fixtures or dimmer channels that you want to control, you
use the blue Preset Select buttons (below the preset faders) to load the
fixtures into the Editor. You can select fixtures or dimmers individually,
or several at once.
You can control dimmer channels and fixture intensity directly from the
preset fader, or select the channels as described below and use the
Dimmer wheel.
1> Press the blue Preset Select buttons for the fixtures you want. The
select button will light up brightly for selected fixtures (they are
also shown in light blue on the HUD and inverse text on the LCD
intensity view).
2> To select a range of fixtures, hold down the Select button for the
first fixture then press the Select button for the last fixture.
Here are some other things to know:
• Press Locate (red button at the bottom right of the console) to
light up the selected fixtures in open white and move them to a
central position. See the next section for more Locate options.
• You can deselect a fixture by pressing the select button again.
• Once you have changed any attribute, pressing a preset Select
button will deselect all fixtures and start the selection process
again. All previously selected fixtures (since you last pressed
Clear) stay in the programmer. They are shown in dark blue on
the HUD, and underlined on the LCD intensity view.
• Press Clear (right of numeric keys) to deselect all fixtures and
remove all changes from the programmer. See the next section for
more Clear options.
• The intensity of the fixture is shown
as a bargraph on the HUD. In the
User Settings you can set the LED
in the Select button to mimic
brightness rather than show fixture
selection (see section 11.1.3 on
page 101).
• You can select fixtures on another page by pressing one of the
Pages of Fixtures buttons (above the numeric keys). Palettes,
groups and any cues you have saved on the preset faders will also
