4.10 The OFF button
This function allows individual Channels within a Fixture or all the Channels of
a Fixture to be turned OFF.
4.10.1 Why we need an OFF function
Because this is the only way to remove a Channel from a Chase or Memory
once it has been recorded in it. If a Channel or Fixture is OFF, it is not output
from a Memory or Chase it has been recorded into.
Recording a Channel at zero is not the same as a Channel which is OFF.
Think of a Moving Head Fixture. With the Pan and Tilt at zero, the Fixture
points up into the roof somewhere (if it is hung on a truss). If recorded into a
Memory, this is a very different result from Pan and Tilt not being recorded
into the Memory at all. If you have recorded a Memory or Chase with
Channels in them that you no longer want recalled, use OFF.
You can turn Attributes OFF so that they will not output from a Memory or
Chase.
⇒ You can also use OFF to exclude Fixtures which have inadvertently been
stored in a Memory or Chase if you forgot to press CLEAR.
