Presets - Elation SHOW DESIGNER 1 User Manual

P R E S E T S
Presets are small memories, usually containing information for just a few channels.
They are used as building blocks for scenes. Presets provide fast and easy scene
programming by giving you instant access to colors and beam settings without
searching through channel levels with the faders. Using presets also saves memory
because many scenes can reference the same preset. For example, if a preset
defines a pan and tilt location for several scenes, only the preset needs to be
edited in order to modify the pan and tilt for all of those scenes. If you want to use
the same color or gobo for a group of fixtures, reference a preset instead of setting
the channels for each individual fixture with the faders. This will use less memory.
Show Designer 1 lets you record up to 32 pages of 16 presets for a total of 512.
Unlike scenes, which record the look of the entire stage, presets are used to record
only several channels worth of information. This allows you to record things like color
or gobo or beam position only. Presets can then be recalled and layered to make
a scene.
In addition to the 32 pages available for the presets that you create, there are 2
pages labeled "F1" and "F2". These pages are for preprogrammed "factory
presets". These are presets that are already programmed for some fixtures fixture
types. Please note that not all fixtures have factory presets. See the fixture list at
the end of this manual to see if a fixture has pre-loaded factory presets. See also
the list of factory preset colors for generic fixtures with RGB channels at the end of
this manual.
