entering softpatch and
system settings
Before you begin creating cues for a show you should first create your
softpatch . The softpatch assigns individual dimmers to control channel
numbers . You can use a default one-to-one softpatch setup, or you can
assign groups of dimmers to channels . The softpatch screen lets you
proportionally patch dimmers to channels.
System settings also allow you to indicate default up and down fade
times, default fader clear times, enable and disable bump switches, and
the level that the [Full] key enters for selected channels.
This chapter includes the following system setting instructions:
• Entering softpatch
• Setting default full level
• Setting default up and down fade times
• Setting default fader clear times
• Enabling and disabling bump switches
