default channel.
• [Beam Palette] [3] {Cleanup} [Enter] - converts palettes created in earlier versions of Eos
Family software to by type palettes. This command will use the first channel of each type as
the default, and allow other channels of the same type to use that value upon recall.
Updating By Type Palettes
Pressing {By Type} after an [Update] command, with a channel tracking but no default channel
included in the update, will cause the lowest numbered tracking channel's level to be updated into
the default channel. The tracking channel will remain tracking. This means that when updating a
default value in a by type palette, you don’t need to know the default channel number.
When a default channel is included in an [Update] command without using {By Type} and another
channel is tracking it, the default channel’s data will be changed to discrete. The lowest numbered
tracking channel will then become the new default channel. Any other updated channels will be
made discrete.
Update Changes
The Update Dialogue Box has been modified in version 1.9. Now the dialogue box displays the
target of the update, any labels associated with it, and the channels impacted by the update. By
clicking on a target, it is possible to deselect it from the update. If you accidently deselect a target,
pressing {Reset} in the Update Dialogue Box will put the target back into the list.
.
Two new options have been added to the Update Dialogue Box. These options are {Last Ref} and
{Ref Only}. {Update All} has been renamed to {All}.
Update Styles and Modifiers
Update styles and modifiers for those styles have been divided in the Update Dialogue Box.
Update Styles
• {All} - this button will update the background cue and all references stored to that cue (nested
and otherwise).
• {Make Absolute} - this button will update the background cue and convert all levels to
absolute values, thereby removing any references.
• {Ref Only} - this button will only update the palettes or presets used in the cue, but will not
update the cue itself. If a manual reference was used before using {Ref Only}, the last manual
reference will be updated.
Update Modifiers
• {Last Ref} - this button will update using the last reference that was applied.
