Recalling Presets

Channels must be selected when recalling a preset. If a selected channel or parameter has no value in the preset, it will stay in its current position. If you want to recall all channels in a preset, you can press [Recall From] [Preset] [x]. Presets on direct selects will be highlighted if they are applicable for the current channel selection.

Note: If enabled in Setup, you can double click on a preset direct select button to quickly recall from the selected preset and put its content on stage. See Device > Displays for additional information.

If you only want to recall certain parameters of the preset, select channels and enter the required parameters (or those not required, using the [-] key) in the command line (see command examples below).

When a preset is recalled, parameter changes will follow the manual timing defaults, if enabled. A manual time master fader can also affect the timing. See Manual Time Master.

Presets may also be recalled using a time specified using [Sneak] [Time]. For examples on using [Sneak] [Time], see Sneak

You may recall presets using any of the following methods:

  • {Preset direct select} - recalls the associated preset data for selected channels.
  • [Preset] [2] [Enter] - recalls preset 2 for selected channels.
  • [Channel List] [Preset] [2] [Enter] - recalls the preset data for the channels in the selection list.
  • [Channel List] [Preset] [Enter] - recalls the last selected preset's data for the channels in the selection list.
  • [Channel List] {Color} [Preset] [5] [Enter] - recalls only the color data from the specified preset for the specified channels.
  • {Color} {Preset direct select} - recalls just the color data from the specified preset for selected channels.
  • [Recall From] [Preset] [3] [At] [5] <0> [Enter] - recalls all channels in preset 3, and sets all intensity values at 50%. The original intensity data is still linked to the preset. If the intensity change is desired, you must update the preset to maintain the change and the link. Storing the data to another record target would break the link and make the data absolute.
  • [Channel List] [Preset] [7] [Enter] [At] [5] <0> [Enter] - recalls preset 7 for selected channels. Intensity values will be recalled at 50% of their recorded state. The intensity link is maintained. If the intensity change is desired the user either needs to update the preset to maintain the change and the link. Storing the data to another record target would break the link and make the data absolute.
  • [Recall From] [Preset] [9] [Enter] - selects all channels with data stored in preset 9, and sets those channels to the values in preset 9.
  • [1] [Recall From] [Preset] [1] [At] [5] <0> [Enter] - recalls the intensity of channel 1 from preset 1 at 50% of the stored value. If channel 1 was set to 50 in preset 1, it’s recalled value would be 25.
