Presets; Scene / Sequence Editor - Martin Xciter User Manual

Program features
Example: You want to create a color chase but you only want to store the values of color channels.
1. Select the fixture you would like to use.
[---]
Active layer
DIM
[---]
Inactive layer
DIM
2. You want to see the colors while you are programming, so you put the dimmers open.
<255>
Active layer
DIM
<255>
Inactive layer
DIM
3. But you do not want dimmer values stored. So you press [CLEAR] once to make the active layer
transparent. Dimmers are no longer stored but they do remain open because the values are still in the
inactive layer.

4. When you are modifying color values, Xciter puts them in both layers. The color values are stored because
they reside in the active layer.

5. When you are finished, press [CLEAR] twice to clear both layers of the programmer, giving control back to
the underlying processes of the show (see process hierarchy) or press [ESC] to exit the programmer.

16.6.5 Presets

Presets are very useful when you move around a lot. If you use presets all over your show, you only need
to modify the presets to adapt your entire show to a new environment.
If you have made some presets before, you use them in the programmer as follows.
Hold down the SHIFT button while you press the SM bounce buttons under the PAN and TILT channels.
You can tell whether a control channel is in preset mode or not by looking at the indicators on the labels.

16.7 Scene / sequence editor

When you select devices or edit a scene, the scene / sequence editor appears on LCD1.
As you can tell from the name, you use the same editor to create scenes and sequences. The scene editor
simply turns into the sequence editor the moment you add multiple scenes.
The editor actually has two screens. One with the essential functions you need to create a scene and
another with advanced functions. You can swap between them with [↕].
