macro amplitudes (pan and tilt amplitude) and one to scale the macro speeds. The speed fader may
be linked to other functions (see later).
By default the faders scales the amplitude and speeds from 0% to 100%, where100% means that the
macros run as programmed. Setting the amplitude scale to 0% effectively disables the macros and
the fixtures will move to the programmed pan/tilt positions. Setting the speed scale to 0% will stop the
macro from running but still include the macro's pan and tilt into the final fixture positions.
From the preferences menu it is possible to set the fader range from 1%-999% - values above 100%
will scale the macro's amplitude and speeds above the programmed values. Note that the values will
never exceed the maximum value 127 for amplitude or speed, but may scale down to a value of 0 as
scaled values goes below 1. The function of both the amplitude and speed faders may be remote
controlled via DMX in.
In order to save the Macro Control values together with the actual cue, check Save Macro Control
Values in the save cue dialog when saving the cue. Also, make sure that the Restore Macro Control
Values in the cue control preferences/cue preferences is checked, otherwise the values are ignored
when reloading the cue.
Linking the speed fader
Linking speed to amplitude
Via the preference menu, the speed fader may be linked to the amplitude fader. When speed is linked
to amplitude, only one fader is visible, making control with a mouse easier as one fader will control
both the amplitude and speed.
Speed fader linked to amplitude fader
Linking speed to cue time - The speed fader may also be linked to the cue time control - when linked
to the cue time, the cue time fader will control the speed, scaling the speed value from 1% to 999%.
When the speed is linked to the cue time control, only the amplitude fader is available.
Fade out, Fade in buttons - These buttons will 'fade' the position of the faders in and out at in pre-
determined time. The actual time is selected from the fade time list below the buttons.
Macros Off, Macros On - These works the same way as the fade buttons, except that the transition is
instant (equals a fade time of 0).
Freeze - this button freezes the macro in place (the macro doesn't 'advance') - the effect is identical to
setting the speed scale to a value of 0%.
Macro fade, on/off and freeze buttons may be assigned to hotkeys or 2532 direct access keys.
The Preferences menu
Fader Range - selects between 0%-100% and 1% to 999% ranges.
Speed Fader Link - Used to link the speed fader other functions.
Allow Fader preset - When disabled, clicking any of the faders will cancel any fade out or fade in or off
state and activate the faders. When enabled it is possible to preset the faders values with the mouse
while the macros are fading or off.
Show Values as % - Show the values as %-values or as numerical values.
