Feature requests and queries.

Hello, below are a few requests/queries I have come across.

  1. Is or would it be possible to map the live button either to Tab 1 or for it to be user definable?
  2. Can "Snapshot x" behave like "Tab x"?
  3. Could there be a 'select dark moves' feature?
  4. It was my understanding that Autoblock clean could be done on a cue by cue basis but it appears to still only be possible to do full cue lists at a time.
  5. Would it be possible (or advisable!) to turn Auto block off? I am a little ignorant as to what benefit it gives.
  6. Can the colour picker's filter 'swatches' be made readily available in the magic sheet creator?

Thank you,

Mark

  • 1. Tab 1 will always be a channel display - what are you trying to achieve with it being user definable?

    2. Why?

    3. I like this idea. FYI you can see dark moves in the about display.

    4. "Block Enter Block Enter" will remove the auto-block.

    5. From the manual, page 212: "Auto-block can protect your cue data from unwanted changes. For example, in cue 5 you set channel 1 to 50%. It is stored as a move instruction. Then, you later go back to an earlier cue and set channel 1 to 50% and it tracks forward to cue 5. Channel 1 will be “auto-blocked” in cue 5. Even though it is now at the same value as the previous cue, the original concept of a move instruction is maintained."

    6. This would be a nice feature. You can make a macro to do this and then trigger it from the magic though.

    IIRC in Blind Cue you get the autoblock cleanup softkey also in a cue scenario.

    1. I would like the [LIVE] key to map to Tab 1 not change the content of Tab 1. I often use a live split display on one screen to share with a designer and have my blind screens, patch, pallettes etc in a workspace the monitor which displays Tab 1, live channel. When using live to come out of those blind screens a new live channel tab opens up taking over from my live split. 2. Because it would be faster and they feel to me like they should do the same thing. 4. This solution blocks everything overwriting the auto block and then unblocks everything, am i right? That doesn't sound quite the same as auto block clean and could cause conflicts with manual blocks, couldn't it? 5. I understand how it works but can't get my head around the benefit of it being there. Guess it doesn't hurt, I just always end up clearing them out. 6. I mean to have it available in the creator so you can drag an L201 tile in to a magic sheet for example.

    I will have another look but have never been able to find auto block clean for a single cue in either live or blind, only cue lists; "cue 1 /" will bring up the soft key.

    You're right, but I'm also a bit right ;) i have to give in that i can't find the softkey in this scenario ( in the version I'm using which is probably different from yours). But if you have a macro that simply writes Autoblk Clean into the command line, Cue 5 Autoblk Clean Enter Enter does work. It's just that you don't ( easily) get the syntax into the command line.
