Even if a Channel is selected, running cue lists can still alter its level
until you capture it.
You can also select moving lights with the mouse by touching them in
the Attribute Grid.
To set levels
1. Select a Channel as described above.
2. Roll the wheel in the middle of the mouse (or the wheel on the
console). The level changes in the same direction you roll the wheel.
The Channel will get a white triangle (delta symbol) showing the
changes to be recorded. It will look like this: (red background)
3. Each detent (or bump) on the wheel will adjust the level by 1%.
Holding down [SHIFT] while rolling the wheel will give you finer
control.
Note:
If you then go and select other Channels, the previous Channel will look like
this: (red text) The Channel is still Captured and has changes that
need to be recorded. Running Cue Lists or Sub Masters cannot affect this
Channel until you release it (unless you are using Last Action Editing as
determined by settings in Hardware Setup - Console)
You may also want to purchase ELO Touch Screens for your console as
selecting Channels just as easy using your finger.
