Using groups and Only with Link List
Only allows you to select several groups and then adjust only the channels
the groups have in common. Used in conjunction with Link List, this
becomes a particularly powerful feature. For example, say you are work-
ing with the moving lights groups described in Only on page 120.
In that example, each of the first four groups contains six channels, corre-
sponding to pan, tilt, intensity, cyan, magenta, and yellow for a specific fix-
ture.
Group 1 contains all channels for fixture 1
01 02 03 04 05 06
Group 2 contains all channels for fixture 2
11 12 13 14 15 16
Group 3 contains all channels for fixture 3
21 22 23 24 25 26
Group 4 contains all channels for fixture 4
31 32 33 34 35 36
The next three groups each contain all the channels that control one
parameter for your moving lights.
Group 5 contains all pan-controlling channels
01 11 21 31
Group 6 contains all tilt-controlling channels
02 12 22 32
Group 7 contains all level-controlling channels
03 13 23 33
Next, in the Link List, create a set of links that link each fixture’s pan chan-
nel to its tilt channel. Put all the pan channels on the X list and all the tilt
channels on the Y list. Now, any time you select either the pan channel or
the tilt channel for any of these fixtures, both parameters will be selected
and placed on the X and Y wheels.
Press [Group] [1] [And] [Group] [3] [Only] [Group] [5]. This selects the pan
channels for fixtures 1 and 3. Link List then places them on the X list and
selects the tilt channels and places them on the Y list. Both fixtures’ posi-
tions are now controlled by the wheels.
