Additional control — managing events
You can use the MIDI or GPIO functions of the PRO6 to control the parameters of an
external device (outgoing), and conversely you can use an external device to control
the PRO6 (incoming). Also, by using the PRO6's unique 'internal' event option, you can
trigger events from within the showfile itself. All this is done by creating events in
scenes/point scenes.
You can have any number and types of events in any scene/point scene, and event
parameters are set up and edited in an Edit Event window. Similarly to scenes/point
scenes, you can skip events during rehearsals.
To aid event management, a menu appears (shown right) when you
right-click a scene/point scene or event. The menu options allow you to
create, edit and copy events. Click an option to select it.
The following shows what some of the event symbols in the Automation
screen mean:
= GPIO event;
= outgoing event.
>> To create an event
Select the scene in which you want to create the event, and then do one of the
following:
• Click the ADD GPIO, ADD INTERNAL or ADD MIDI button, as required.
• From the 'right-click' menu, choose Add

>> To edit an event
1

program change to trigger the event.

window, click "X" to close it.
>> To copy and paste an event
1
Right-click the event you want to copy, and then
choose Copy from the menu.

Select the scene in which you want to paste the
copied event. Or, if the scene already contains an
event(s), select the event after which you want to
paste the copied event.
