GOTO preset

In my sequence list I have used several presets repeatedly, going back and forth a couple times.  I was wondering what the behavior of GOTO was when set for presets.

Sequence 1 sample:

Step 65  Preset 129

Step 66  Preset 130

Step 67  Preset 131

Step 68  Preset 130

Step 69  Preset 131

Step 70  Preset 132

Step 71  Preset 136

Step 72  Preset 137

Step 73  Preset 131

 

If I'm sitting in step 71, which step will be loaded if I press "131 GOTO"?

I convinced my LD that instead of re-recording new cues we could just re insert the preset, does anyone have any suggestions on how to not confuse the board op and the SM?

Much thanks

  • Regarding the LD/SM question - use Sequence Texts. I always think of the label on the Preset as the name of the look - i.e. "Kitchen Day" and the Sequence Text as the context of that look - i.e. "Act 2, Scene 3, Joe Enters".

    With sequence texts like those, your board op and SM will always know where they are in the list, and you can reuse and manage Presets as you will.

    (And the GOTO List is an excellent tool for jumping around in sequences regardless of whether you reuse presets, as you cannot scroll the playback tab. :-))

    I hope this helps -

    Thanks-
