Preset Options

When recording presets, there are three softkey options.

{By Type} Presets

By Type presets are created with 'default' channels which contain values that can be assigned to any other channel within the same fixture type. By Type presets can also contain discrete channel values.

By Type presets will display a ‘T’ in the lower corner of the direct selects and in the presets list. A ‘+’ will display after the ‘T’ if there are channels stored with discrete data.

{Absolute} Presets

Absolute presets are presets that when recalled the data is displayed and treated like absolute data applied to a channel. The data is never referenced. An absolute preset will display with an ‘A’ in the lower corner of the direct selects and in the presets list.

{Locked} Presets

Locked presets are presets that are protected from being accidentally changed in Live.

A locked preset will display a “L” in the lower corner of the direct selects and in the presets list.

Locked presets can be updated by specifically calling the channels and the record target, [channel list] [Update] [record target] [Enter]. Using [Update] [Preset] [1] [Enter] would not work in Live for a locked preset. However locked presets are not protected in Blind.
