Couple of ion questions

Hello

Couple of little questions for the Ion (running 1.3 at the moment)

Any ideas about the following:

 - selectively update a range of cues - in strand logic 1>6 Update chansIn cue 1>10 @ +10

(this would increase channels 1>10 by 10% in any cues between 1 and 10 that they were already above 0 in)

- Could it be possible to change the font of the channel display? Currently the 6's and the 8's are ver y similar.

- Could it be possible to make the background of the live screen in blind a bit more different (say grey) as it is easy to forget you are there are the moment, at the moment the border changes but that isn't too obvious

- At the moment when typing text into cues etc, if you hit a command (such as time) it actually inserts the text of that button into the cue

- If you turn a non-part cue into a part cue could the text from the cue title default to the part 1 label?

- Could holding clear down clear the whole command line - it gets very boring pressing clear lots of times, in strand logic you could do shift+clear which would clear it all..

 - In strand shift + enter would repeat the last command - any option for this?

- Is there a way of editing the same attribute (say dwell) of all steps in an effect at the same time?

- How do you shut the desk down without a mouse installed? You seem to have to click on OK with the mouse with no keyboard shortcut, I may just be blind but it would be nice to be able to remove the mouse when not required.

- If you do channel x at full remdim enter it is great that you can next/last through all channels, however it would be nice if it only iterated through channels that exist - currently it goes numerically through the whole thing, whether the channels exist or not which makes it a little confusing. Preferably it would iterate through whatever channels are in the current display format (patched/active/chans in show etc)

I think that's it for now!

 Thanks

  • Hi Richard,

    "- Is there a way of editing the same attribute (say dwell) of all steps in an effect at the same time?"

    Certainly for absolute effects, when you're looking at your effect's attributes table in Blind, you can select multiple actions and apply the same time or dwell to each action. Command line looks similar to: Effect 1 Action 1 Thru 9 Dwell 0:01 - in this case Action is a softkey, and Dwell gets on the command line by using right cursor key to select the Dwell column. I think the same applies to step effects, but I generally don't use them.

    " - selectively update a range of cues - in strand logic 1>6 Update chansIn cue 1>10 @ +10 " 

     You can modify ranges of cues in Blind, e.g. go into blind, select cue 1 thru 10. Hit Enter. Now any channel modifications you make will apply to all those cues. e.g. Chan 1 Thru 6 +% would increase non-zero channels by whatever your +% was set to (default 10). Or you could scale the current channel values, e.g. Chan 1 Thru 6 @ /90, e.g. Chan 1 Thru 6 @ /110

    "- How do you shut the desk down without a mouse installed? " 

    I know you can, but I don't have our Ion here to try it out - however I think the OK button can be triggered either by using the Select key or by hitting Enter.

    Hope that helps a bit, 

    David

    Does the selection of cues 1>6 to edit in blind only effect cues that I have already recorded in the cue stack, or will it fill in the gaps if I only have cues 1>3.4, 4.5, 5, and 6?
