Busking and control of house lights

[rabeiler]

New to Titan software - using Titan Mobil and trying to decide on the best way to control the house lights of a venue (about 6 dmx channels). I was thinking on putting them on a page so I can control them before show, between bands, and end of show. If I have them on a page of cuelists and then switch to another page that may cause issues. I am wondering if I can set these with a couple of preset intensities and record them to palette button? I guess I could also park them and just have a group to select them and unpark, etc. Just wondering what others do. Thanks in advance.

I have three virtual playbacks - one for off, one for pre and one for end. The fixtures are setup on LTP attributes by way of a custom personality and the the playbacks all have a timed fade in.

I then create three macros which execute and hold the respective playbacks until fade is complete, then kill.

These macros can either be on the dedicated keys or on a numeric recall. Either way you get a system that can be accessed via hard keys. The LTP attributes ensure lamps stay at levels without risk of accidentally killing them.

I've used this method (albeit mostly directly using preset playbacks on Expert) successfully for many years.

Hi Ross,

You can record a faderless cue stack onto the Playbacks window. To get to the playbacks window press Softkey F (Open Workspace Window) and then scroll through until you get to Playbacks.

Use the Record key, and select "Create Cue List"

You can then set a 2 (or more) step cue list with HL set to off in one step and on in the other.

To trigger it, simply touch that playback icon.
