Triggers List
Each event can have up to eight triggers in the list. Triggers are
shown in rows in the Triggers list. Right-click commands let
you select, edit, duplicate and delete triggers.
Add
The Add pop-up menu lets you create new triggers. Triggers
are organized in the menu according to the type of console
function or input signal that initiates (or triggers) the event.
Types of triggers include channel functions, footswitch/GPI
inputs, snapshot recall, and other console functions such as
talkback.
Type and Properties
Each row in the Triggers list shows the selected trigger Type.
Some types of triggers have editable properties such as a dB
level on a specific channel, or open/closed state of a foot-
switch input. Choices vary depending on the trigger type, and
not all triggers have editable properties.
Logical Operators
Multiple triggers can be considered conditionally by applying
a logical operator (AND, OR, XOR) to their properties.
Triggers and actions which are unavailable due to unavail-
able hardware or console configuration are shown as itali-
cized in the Trigger (and Action) Add menus.
