Query; single vs multiple cues in blind; select last

Hi everybody

I try to write a macro to see if my selectet channels are used on preset x in my cuelist.

I know, I can select a preset and have a look in the about, "used by channels", but anyway...

When i go into blind, select cue home, query group y is in preset x, everything behave as expected, select channels which are on preset x in this cue.

select last: my syntax is channels 1+2+3.

If I select cue home thru enter, query group y is in preset x, everything behave as expected, showing channels that are on preset x in any cue.

if I press select last here, my syntax is not the channel selection but the query syntax again.

so if I go back into live, i can't use select last, since the query selection is different in live than what i wanted.

And also I won't have a overview in my syntax about the channels, which is what i want.

Also, Is there another way to select the latest preset other than "Query is in preset last next"?

Is this more or less understandable? Is it expectet behavior?

Thank you

  • Somehow I can't edit my post anymore so my correction here;
    I was wrong, select all cues and query if the channels are recorded in preset x is not working, right? only if they are recorded in every cue in preset x.

    Am I right? Am I missing something to get what i am looking for- query channel y is in preset x in any cue? so if the channel is recorded in 1 cue on preset x, it should select it.

    Sorry, i get confused at some point and cant figure out how to solve this,

    thanks

  • I'm a litte bit confused but i try my best.

    Try this in Live:

    [Group] [x] [Query] {Is In} [Que] [Home] [Thru] [Query] {Can Be} [Preset] [x] [Enter]

    I tested it and select last is giving you a Channel selection.
    Testing with this Showfile:
    Query-Test-Show 2021-12-10 16-51-03.esf2

    Also, Is there another way to select the latest preset other than "Query is in preset last next"?

    Could you explain this once again? I do not understand your wish/question fully.

  • hi thilda, thanks for your respond and sorry about my confused writing.

    I tried so many possibilities, at some point I got lost.

    Your syntax is right, of course. and also works with select last. Thanks for the file, i checked everything with this file.

    But it is not what I want. My goal is to select all the channels that are recorded on preset x in any of these cues.

    So what I am looking for is basically a query for Preset x "is used by channels yz"

    I think, your syntax select channels that are recorded in the cues and also in the preset x, independently of in which presets the channels are in those cues. Am I right?

    Do you see, what my goal is?

    So my workaround atm would be something like: [Group][1][Query] {Is In} [Que] [Home] [Query] {Is In} [Preset] [x] [Enter] [or] {Is In} [Que] [2] [Query] {Is In} [Preset] [x] [Enter] [or] {Is In} [Que] [3] [Query] {Is In} [Preset] [x] [Enter]..

    and so on. is this understandable?

    thank you

  • But it is not what I want. My goal is to select all the channels that are recorded on preset x in any of these cues.

    What a pity. And a thought i checked with Preset3 while in Cue0 and got Channel 1>2+4>5 as a result.

    Wich is correct, because i sayed Group1 first.

    Here again is my check-syntax while in any of the 6 different Cues:

    [Group] [1] [Query] {Is In} [Que] [Home] [Thru] [Query] {Can Be} [Preset] [3] [Enter]

    The spezial thing about this Code-line is the [Group][1] in the Front. Because that will limit the outcome of Channels a lot.

    If i delete [Group] [1] from the code-line, the result would be:

    [Query] {Is In} [Que] [Home] [Thru] [Query] {Can Be} [Preset] [3] [Enter]

    --> Channel1>2+4>10

    wich is absolute correct, because channel 3 is not recorded with Pr3 in any of the Cues.

    So maybe we don't talk about the same thing here and i am missunderstanding you once again.

    I am totaly sorry.

  • wich is absolute correct, because channel 3 is not recorded with Pr3 in any of the Cues.

    I think it does not show you channel 3, because it is not recorded in the cues at all. If I put some Intens for Channel 3 in those cues, the [Query] {Is In} [Que] [Home] [Thru] [Query] {Can Be} [Preset] [3] [Enter] select channel 3, even though it not recorded with Pr3 in any of the Cues.

    In Blind, if I select all the cues, then [Query] {Can Be} [Preset] [3] [Enter], it won't select Channel 3, which is right.

    But if I set Channel 3 at Preset 1 in the Cues, ( I just added channel 3 to Pr 1), It will select Channel 3 again with [Query] {Can Be} [Preset] [3] [Enter] , even though it is at Pr 1 in every Cue.

    My goal would be something like [Query] {is used by} [Preset] [3], but I think this is not possible.

    I simply think, it's not made for what I am looking for, but I'm the only one who would ever use this anyway, so I don't think this is that important :)

  • Autsch,

    i see the error. Sorry for that. So Close but not close enough.

    We Should ask Ziggy for more help ; )

  • One last Thought...

    I know it is not a channel-selection. But is the [About] of Pr3 somehow helpful. Under {Usage} you will be presented with a huge List of wich Channel in wich Que is using it.

    not all to helpfull if you don't have time.

  • yes, the about is kind of what i want, but i'd love to not to sort out which channels i was looking for in case I use Pr3 for 20 Channels and only want to know about Group 1

    well, thanks, it's not that important, it just drove me crazy and wanted to know if it is possible or not :)
