Recalling cues with only one attribute

Hello!

With not so much time to program, I wanted to convert my palletes to cues so I could recall several at the same time, without need to choose groups at first. I did so, but now when I flash-recall them, the intensity flashes to. I tried to change keyprofile, but it didn't work for me... Don't have time to try more for now, but if someone know how to do I would sincerely be glad!

Peace.
Hampus.

Sounds like you have recorded intensity into the cues. This might be because either the intensities were in the programmer and/or you were using record by fixture mode.

To just store the information in the palettes select the fixtures, select palette, record, change record more to 'by channel' and then select destination handle.

To check contents use view/playback. To remove unwanted values either select the cells in the cue view and choose [delete] or select fixtures, select attribute to remove, press OFF followed by appropriate softkey option and then merge into existing cue using record by channel.

Note that if quick palettes is turned on in user settings (default) then palettes will recall without fixture selection anyway. Simply store palettes that only contain the attributes/fixtures you want and you will not need to select groups.

Also want to know how I can make a cue "go" when pressing the blue button.

Will try to update my cues tomorrow, otherwise I just do the pallete thingy. Problem is that I had some problem with shooting several palletes at the same time.

Peace.

Cue go: if you mean fading in a cue with set times, actually the only way is to set the key profile to latch (and unlatch the cue later). Not optimal, hopefully improved soon.

Or: write a 1Cue-Cuelist

Multiple palettes: maybe for this application it's better to merge some palettes into some new ones. Make sure you set this to 'normal' (not 'shared') and program it for the intended fixtures only.
