Our school district just installed an Ion console with a fader wing, LCD and Touchscreen, etc. Some outside groups have already put their presets into the sliders on the wing unit, and we are currently using these presets to light our own music groups. I started with one of their presets, and then added all of the other lights I wanted, which I then "saved as" to my own file name. Now when I open the file, it loads fine, but the lights do not come up. I have looked through the manual, and find it very cumbersome. I understand that any device with the level of capabilities this has will have very complex controls, but my needs are simple. Basically, I want to select the instruments to use on the touchscreen (this works fine), then roll the silver wheel up to the level I want, and finally, save what I am seeing to the fader wing, so I have it permanently there for every concert. We only need about 3 permanent settings for our school needs, and any outside groups or school theatre productions will pay someone to run this, and they obviously know what they are doing. Can someone tell me how to do my simple steps, or can you point me towards a tutorial or other easy description of how to do this?
