About Submasters
Submasters can store any parameter data for channels. When storing from Live, Record Only and
Record can both be used to determine what contents are stored. You can copy cues, presets, or
palettes to a submaster as well. Channels running effects can be loaded onto a submaster.
“Effects on Submasters” on page 280.
Faders can be configured as submasters in setup (see
) or they can
be defined while programming.
In blind, submasters can be created by using the [Thru] [Thru] syntax.
• [Sub] [1] [Thru] [Thru] [1] [0] [Enter] - will create subs 1 through 10.
When set as a submaster, the bottom button beneath the potentiometer acts as a bump button or a
mark button depending on the submaster type (Proportional or Intensity Master). The button above
the bump can be used to select all of the channels associated with the submaster, if the submaster
is inactive. This is equivalent to the syntax [Group] [Sub] [x] [Enter]. When the submaster is
active, this button will assert the contents of the submaster when pressed.
It is possible to program upfade, dwell, and downfade times in association with the submaster
bumps.
When a submaster bump LED is blinking, it means that the submaster must be homed due to either
changes to its content or to its mode. In either case, reset the submaster by dropping it to zero and
the moving it back to the desired position. The LED will also blink when the submaster is in a “Held”
state via bump button timing.
Recording a Submaster
You can record current stage contents directly to a submaster. To do this, set levels in live as
needed then record them to the submaster. See the following examples:
• [Record] [Sub] [5] [Enter] - records all current values to sub 5.
• [Record Only] [Sub] [5] [Enter] - records the manual values of the current stage state to sub
5.
• [Record Only] [Sub] [5] [Label] [xxxx] [Enter] - as above, with a label.
• [Record] [Sub] [5] {Mode} [Enter] - as above, and alters mode between inhibitive or additive.
Other submaster properties (HTP/LTP, Exclusive, and so on) can be assigned in this way as
well.
You can also record selected channel data to submasters as well. See below:
• [Channel List] [Record] [Sub] [5] [Enter] - records all data for the channel list to sub 5.
• [Channel List] [Record Only] [Sub] [5] [Enter] - records manual data for the channel list to
sub 5.
Submasters can also be recorded using selective storing, which allows you to specify only the
channels that you want stored.
• [6] [Thru] [1][0] [Record] [Sub] [3] [Enter] - records only channels 6 through 10 to
submaster 3.
If a submaster already has data stored to it, selective store will act as a merge function. Using the
above example of channels 6 through 10 stored to submaster 3, if you were to then store channel
5 to submaster 3, that would be added to the current content so that channels 5 through 10 are now
stored.
