There are several methods you can use to create any one look with
MicroVision FX . Deciding how to create a look depends on your situation
and what information is already stored in the console.
If you already have several cues recorded, you may want to use the look
from one cue and add to it to create another. Other times, you may want
to enter all channel levels from scratch.
If you are in the middle of a tech rehearsal, you will probably want to use
Stage mode so you can see your adjustments live. If you have a good
idea of how you want cues to look, you may want to record the show in
Blind ahead of time.
The text in the following pages includes specific instructions on how to
create cues in MicroVision FX . Specific keystroke sequences show you
how to create sample cues.
There are several ways you can go about creating any one look. The
following instructions give examples of how you could generate each
cue. Experiment and add as much as you want to each.
We assume that when you start this tutorial there are no cues stored in
the console. To erase the current show from the console, press
[Set Up]. Then select 6, Clear System, and press [Enter]. Press [Enter]
again to confirm, or press [Clear] to cancel. Before you clear the system,
make sure that the show currently in the console memory is saved on
disk. When you clear the system, all show information is erased.
