Basic Recording
Note: The [REC TIME] key is not available on 300 series consoles
Changing Properties Without Recording Levels
You can change properties in any of the preview screens by holding down the [SHIFT] key and
moving the rollball to change the fields from non-editable (yellow) to editable (green). You can
then change individual field values by moving the highlight to the required field using the
rollball and changing the field value using the level wheel, [+] or [-] keys, or by entering a
numerical value (where applicable) from the keypad.
Alternatively, you can change item properties from the command line without changing any
levels. The general command format for doing this is:
type # properties *
Properties that are not listed in the command remain unchanged. You do not get an overrecord
warning with this command if the item exists. You can use these commands to change the
properties of existing items, and to create new items without recording any intensities or
attributes. Confirmation is required when cues are created.
You can use these commands to change properties for existing items in another preview
(blind) display, but you cannot use this syntax to create an item in another preview (blind)
display.
From anywhere,
[CUE] [1] [2] [TIME] [4] [*] All Modes
[CUE] [1] [2] [TIME] [[4] [REC TIME] All Modes
will change the cue 12 up and down fade times if cue 12 exists, but will result in an error
message if cue 12 does not exist.
If you do not enter an item type and number before the [TIME] key, cue is assumed. Entering
[TIME] # [*] will change the fade time to the entered value in the current cue.
Changing properties clears the current selection from the Channel Control.
type # [TIME] # [*] changes the fade time of a submaster, cue, group, or effect without
changing recorded levels.
