Reply to "Magic 260 Recordable Preset Points for Effects Engine"

I would like to know that also! I bought a Magic specifically because it could store scenes that call up preset XY locations. I never got it to work though. It usually ends up overwriting the XY locations and my lights end up pointing all over the place.

I can share my notes though (I used fixtures 2,3,4,5 and memories 7 thru 24):

Recording an X/Y Preset in a Scene
1 FIXTURE Green LED On
2 Fixture #[2,3,4,5] Red LED Flashing, Fixture values shown on LCD

3 MASTER FADER to 10
4 ENTER LCD shows 'Please select preset (1-24)'

5 Memory #1 if screen shows "preset 97"

6 Memory #[7-24] X/Y should slew to preset location (1-6 are movements)

7 RECORD Green LED Flashing

8 SCENE Green LED Flashing

9 DATA WHEEL #4 (page) 1-24 LEDs show scene memory used

10 Scene #[1-24]

11 If re-write, press OK/YES


Setting Location Memories 7-24 for a show

1 FIXTURE Green LED On
2 Fixture #[2,3,4,5] Red LED Flashing, Fixture values shown on LCD

3 Move Joystick to position spotlight
4 MASTER FADER to 10
5 RECORD Green LED Flashing

6 ENTER LCD shows 'RECORD FIGURE MENU 1.Record Circle'

7 DATA WHEEL to 5 LCD shows 'RECORD FIGURE MENU 5.Preset Point'

8 ENTER LCD should show X/Y points

9 Memory #[7-24] LCD shows "...Overwrite?"

10 Knob #3, "Yes"

11 RECORD to exit recording


...in step 7 above, I guess you would turn the data wheel to the movement you want, but not to the #5 option "preset point".

If that can help, great - but no warranties are expressed or implied. Odds of winning are ?
