Hi there!

Nowadays we have:

Rec by Fixture
Rec by Channel

My request:

Rec by Fixture without Dimmer
Rec by Fixture without Pan/Tilt
Rec by Fixture without Dimmer and Pan/Tilt

Thanks,

Oz

You can already achieve exactly what you are asking for by using the Off button, heres an extract from the manual to save me explaining it!

6.3.3 The “Off” button
The “Off” button allows you to remove an attribute which has been stored in a memory, as if you never recorded it.
For example, suppose you recorded a memory which had scans at a certain position, with the colour set to green. If you later decide that you don’t want a colour recorded at all in the memory, so that the previous colour setting of the scans will be used, you use the Off function to turn off the colour in the memory. You can also use the Off function to remove complete fixtures from a memory.
Using the Off button is not the same as recording an attribute at zero. It is like not recording the attribute at all.
1> Turn on the memory you want to edit, so you can see what you are doing.
2> Select the fixtures you want to change.
3> Press the OFF button (one of the blue command buttons) to display the Off menu.
4> To switch off all attributes of the selected fixtures, press Softkey A (this will remove the fixtures from the memory).
5> To switch off selected attributes, press the appropriate attribute button, then use Softkey B and C to set each attribute to Off (the screen shows which attribute will be turned off for each button)
6> Repeat from 3 to turn off other attributes, or from 2 to turn off other fixtures.
7> Press Memory.
8> Press the Swop button for the memory you are editing to save the changes. Unchanged information is not affected.
· Attributes which are Off are shown on the screen. (The stage output will not change as the output values remain at their last settings).
· Attributes or fixtures set to “Off” can be turned back on again by selecting them in the usual way and changing them using the wheels.
· You can also use this function to turn off fixtures or attributes in a palette entry. Use the procedure above, but instead of editing and recording a memory, edit and record a palette entry instead. See page 138 for how to do this.

Yes of course...

But if we want - and I want - record by fixture all the attributes unless dimmer (or P/T) I must record memories and chases and then turn off dimmer (or P/T) one by one... so boring.
