Presets - the basic building block
Light intensities and moving device parameters are stored in Presets. A Preset is referenced data that
can be played back on its own in a master or the main playback. It can also play back as the content of
a sequence step or content effect. A preset can contain absolute data (values) or referenced data
(palettes).
See Presets.
See Sequences.
Other types of record targets
Besides presets there are Groups for organising channel selection and Palettes for referencing moving
device data.
See Groups.
See Devices - Palettes.
