Storing Presets Live
Presets can be recorded live using the keypad and/or the direct selects. Both [Record] and
[Record Only] can be used to record presets, with or without filters.
See “Storing Data with Record
Filters” on page 229.
[Record] will store all channels that are not at their default values, and it will record all information
about those channels, including parameters that are still at default. Therefore presets can contain
all of the same information as a cue, but they have no timing information or cue attributes (such as
follow, delay, or cue overrides). When recorded or re-recorded, presets are automatically recalled
on stage. Presets may be individually labeled and each has an optional notes field.
Storing Presets Using [Record]
The [Record] key will store all parameter data for channels that are not at their default values, as
modified by the filter settings in the CIA. This will store all parameter data that is not default even if
it is not manual data. If filters are used, only the parameters enabled by the filters are stored.
When you record data to a preset live, the channels involved in that preset will then actually be in
that preset.
The following methods can be used to store presets using [Record]:
• [Record] [Preset] [5] [Label] [name] [Enter] - records all parameter data for all channels not
at default and adds a label to preset 5.
• [Record] [Preset] [Next] [Enter] - records data to the next sequential preset number.
• [-] [2] [Record] [Preset] [n] [Enter] - stores the preset, withholding the group or channels
specified.
• [channel list] [Record] [Preset] [6] [Enter] - stores the preset, but only the data for the
channel list supplied.
• [Record] & {Preset direct select} - stores the preset to the specified direct select.
• [channel list] {AllNPs} [Record] [Preset] [8] [Enter] - records all non-intensity parameters for
the selected channels to the preset.
When you re-record an existing Preset, a confirmation will be required, unless confirmations have
been disabled in Setup.
N o t e : When using selective record, the user must specify the channel list to be included
(or excluded as the case may be) as part of the [Record] command. Otherwise,
all parameters of channels with non-default values will be stored in the preset.
You may also use the filters and {Make Null} as additional tools to decide what
data will be stored. For more information on these features see Using Filters .
