Chapter 21: Events 219
Creating Triggers
Each Event can have up to eight triggers. You create new triggers
by selecting them from the Add pop-up menu. Once added, you
can edit triggers and their properties to customize them.
Adding Triggers to an Event
To add a trigger:
1 Select an Event in the Event list, or create a new one. (For de-
tails, see “Selecting Events” on page 217, and “Creating
Events” on page 217.)
2 Click the ADD pop-up menu in the Triggers list and select the
trigger type. The selected trigger type is added to the Trigger
list for the currently selected Event, with its default properties.
Editing Trigger Type and Properties
To edit the trigger and its properties:
1 Double-click the trigger row in the list. Or right-click the ac-
tion item and choose
Edit.
2 Choose a new Trigger Type, or edit any of the available prop-
erties in the row for that trigger. Properties vary depending on
the type of trigger selected (not all trigger types have editable
properties).
Logical Operators for Triggers
An individual trigger is considered to be “true” when the function
described by its type and properties takes place, such as while a
footswitch is actually pressed, or a fader is raised above its trigger
threshold.
A trigger is considered to be “false” (or, not occurring) whenever
its function and properties are not met, such as when a footswitch
is not being pressed, or while a fader remains below its assigned
trigger threshold.
When an Event includes multiple triggers, a logical operator (OR,
AND, XOR) must be chosen from the Operators pop-up menu.
(The default Operator is OR.)
The logical operator has no effect when the Triggers list includes
only one item.
To choose a logical operator for the current Event:
1 Select the desired Event to display its assigned triggers.
2 Click the Operators pop-up menu (by default, this pop-up
menu displays “OR”) and choose
AND, OR, or XOR.
Only one logical operator is permitted per event, and this operator
applies to all triggers within the event. It is not possible to use a
mix of logical operators within an event.
