ROGRAMMER
The programmer window displays information on the fixtures that are currently under your direct
control. That is to say, it displays those fixtures that have been selected and manipulated, but not
yet recorded into a group, preset or cue and then cleared. When a fixture is selected, it is
automatically loaded into the programmer. It is also possible to load portions of or entire cues,
groups, and presets into the programmer for editing. It is important to note that any attribute of
any fixture loaded into the programmer will have the highest priority. Nothing, with the
exception of the Grand Master, will override the output of any fixture loaded into the programmer
when it is in "Live" mode. Also, when you record or update a cue, group or preset, only that
information contained in the programmer will be recorded or updated.

ROGRAMMER
There are two programmer modes available on the Maxxyz; the first is Live and the second is
Blind. When in Live mode, all attribute information in the programmer will be output to the stage.
When in Blind mode, information in the programmer is not output, however it can still be recorded
into cues, groups, presets, etc. It simply won't be seen on stage. When in Blind mode, the legend
"BLIND" appears in the header of the programmer window.
To change between Live and Blind modes:
Press the "Preview" hard key found at the top center of the console. This key will toggle the
programmer between Live and Blind modes. (The visualizer will always show the Live mode.)
