Button, fader resizing and more, Oh My!

M markofthewildMember
I have a few questions so i am going to ask them all at once insted of posting many times.

Here goes...

1. I know how to change the size of the buttons but is it possible to change the size of the faders?

2. I have a martin mac 500 and some martin cx-4's. There are a few profiles for each in the library. Is there a way to find the right one besides trying each one out? it gets very confusing when there are multiple profiles.

3. The easytime editor sometime isnt so easy. I am trying to make a mini mac do a circle on our stage. Is there an easy waay to do this? when putting in points it doesnt seem to want to go in a one way circle.It gets to a point then travels backwards. I also was adjusting the poins when all of a sudden i lost half a gobo. we really need a undo feature in here.

4. is there a way to assign a fader to ANY channel? this would be extremely helpful in programming my switches.

Thas all for now...I willprobably have more later.

Thanks alot!

Hey mark. Sorry for the delay in response.
1) I don't believe so. The fader is proportioned in size to fit the button.

2)You can preview the profile in the scan library editor. It lets you see what is set up for each individual preset on each channel. Look in the SL2006 folder and look for scanlibrary.exe

3) I personally never use the easy time editor to make movements. Try it like this. Before you program your whole scene. Go into the EFx Generator and make your circle. Get the heads doing the circle you want. And then generate the sequence. Now simply re link the channels to easy step on the fixtures you don't want doing a circle. And then program the rest of your lights. Make sense?

4) Can you elaborate on this? give me more details.

Sincerely,

Soory i haent been able to post lately, i have been very busy.

I will try the efx generator.

as for the fader. I would like to be able to control any channel i want to via a fader on a button that is a switch

For instance, if i set a switch to channel 5 which may be the iris or any other function i want to be able to put a fader on it to control the channel percentage. make sense?

Yup you can do that. But only one fader at a time. So say you do a switch for iris: Create your switch, leave it empty, make sure all the other channels are off for that effected fixtures and turn on your iris channel and set a level for it. hot save and close. Now hit your switch to make it active and then go to buttons> then settings> then find the section called "Dimmer/ Speed" and then select dimmer fader. And that should do it. If you need help. Let me know.
Sincerely,
