2) Go back to the main screen, click on the fixture panel tab on the left hand side of the desk,
and click on the second page button to select fixture faders 13 to 24. You will now see the 4
MiniMac fixtures.
3) If you are grouping fixtures, the scene generator function will only work if the fixtures
contained in that group are OF THE SAME TYPE. If you wish to generate preset scenes for
a single fixture then don’t use the group keys, simply highlight that single fixture.
4) For this example use the [F1] key to turn on group
F1
and the buttons below the MiniMac
fixture faders will turn red to indicate that they are contained in that group, i.e. the
F1
group
contains ALL 4 MiniMacs.
5) Click on any one of the MiniMac fixture faders (in the top section of the fixture panel) to
highlight it, and then click on the color wheel function fader (in the bottom section of the
fixture panel) to highlight that function.
6) On the right hand side of the desk select the
scene panel and using the bank and page
buttons select an empty page of scene buttons
such the first page on bank
B,
i.e. scene
buttons B001 to B024 .
7) Hold down the [Shift] key and the presets for
that function will be displayed on the right of
the desk as normal. Right-click on the presets
that you want auto-generated and their text will
turn yellow to indicate that they have been
selected for auto-generation. If you want to
select them all then also hold down the
[Ctrl]
key and click on the last preset in the list.
The scene generator dialogue box
If white labels are present on the preset panel, then all of the presets from the last one
clicked UP TO the label will be selected. Presets can of course be de-selected from the auto-
scene-generator by right-clicking on them again to turn their text back to white.
8) Click on the
Rec
button on the scene panel and it will flash to indicate that it is in record
mode, but this time hold down the [Ctrl] key whilst clicking on the first empty scene button
( B001 ) and a
Scene Generator
dialogue box will appear. There are a number of items
available on this dialogue box (described on the next page) but for now we will just use the
Label Prefix
box.
9) In the
Label Prefix
box type in
All MiniMacs
and click on the
Generate
button and you will
see that ShowMagic automatically creates 31 scenes ( B001 to B031 ) on the scene panel for
each available preset and also labels them with the prefix followed by the preset name. For
instance, the first available color preset on the
Preset
panel is named White so scene button
B001
is labelled
All MiniMacs White,
the second preset name is Color 1 so scene button
B002 is labelled All MiniMacs Color 1 and so on.
