Building personalities

Postby turnhofer » 20 Nov 2011, 12:42

Hello to all...
I've got now new MAC 550 Profiles but the personalities for Pearl 2010 & Tiger aren't very well, so I decidet to write my own... Now I'm stucked on few problems...

1) Shutter chanel:
On the shutter channel are also operating commands (Lamp On/Off & reset). I don't want to have those controll commands on wheels, but I need them as a macro..

2) How do I write conditions???
Example: Gobo 1 has about 27 functions : Open, G1-6 index, G1-6 rot, G1-6 index + shake, G6-1 rot + shake, CWspin and CCW spin. Gobo 1 Rotation Channel is 0-255 inexable for the indexable states or have some rotation functoins for rot states... My question is how can I write the condition in Personality Builder?? When i Tryed to type something, PBuilder returns that attribute not found....

Thanx for all ideas...

Hi,

I am afraid there is no solution for the problems you're encountering with Classic desks; conditions and separated ranges (as part of conditions) work only on Titan.

And you are lucky enough: the Mac not only has the control commands on the far end of the shutter values, but also requires additional settings (colour, prism etc.) in order to make the control commands work; this should do a quite good job in preventing accidentaly triggering a reset or such. It's far worse with other fixtures where the controls are simply intersparsed...

Sorry mate.

Thanx for answers...

I think i've got another question...

I have some LED Pars - R,G,B,Dim,Strobo...

I Wonder if it is possible to program in personality some "virtual" color attribute with pre-defined color functions, thal I will have colors like "white, UV, magenta, aso..." on my color wheel, that will mix those RGB channels???

You can use preset palettes for this. By setting handle to -1 they will appear in a table.

Example:

Code: Select all

PFTABLE "RGB Col"  4   1  2  3   
"White"           -1  ff f8 ff
"Red"             -1  ff 00 00
"Green"           -1  00 ff 00
"Blue"            -1  00 00 ff
"Magenta"         -1  ff 00 ff
"Cyan"            -1  00 ff ff
"Yellow"          -1  ff ff 00
"Black"           -1  00 00 00
"Gold"            -1  d9 d9 19
"Orange"          -1  ff 7f 00
"Purple"          -1  99 32 cd
"Dk Turqu"        -1  70 93 db
"Wood"            -1  85 5e 42
"GrenYelow"       -1  93 db 70
"LtGreen"         -1  32 ce a6
"Blue"            -1  4d 4d ff
"Pink"            -1  ff 6e c7
"OranRed"         -1  ff 24 00
"SpicyPink"       -1  ff 1c ae
"Green"           -1  00 ff 7f
PFEND


This example has R,G,B on channel offsets 1,2,3 respectively.

The table should automatically appear in the LCD when the colour attribute bank is selected (set using '4' at the top). Colours can be selected by wheel.
