Update cue range

Liam,  I'm not sure about using the same command for Live and Blind.  Can one even use the Update command in Blind?...

In Live though, make 1 Thru 10 manual at 50%.  If they are the only manual channels, you can [Update Cue 20 Thru 30].  If there are other manual channels, you would go [1 Thru 10 Update Cue 20 Thru 30].

Your last question is a good one.  I look forward to hearing a reply to it.

Hope that helps, B

Thanks for the reply  - you're correct, you can't update in blind (Don't know why though!) and yes, making a channel (or range of channels) to the correct level (ie manual) works, it would be nice to be able to just input the level from the command line (ie update @ 50%). It's a small thing but if you have lights you don't want to make live whilst you're programming (Pit lights, house lights, smoke machines etc. etc.) a direct command line update would be useful. And of course the ability to only increase the level in cues that are not zero! (ie update @ +10)

Cheers, Liam.

BTW if anyone from ETC is reading, what happened to the user option of which record target was updated on an update command (Cue source or last called preset/palette?)

Hey Liam,

1) You can't "update" in blind, because everything you do in blind is automatically updated.

2) You can specify the adjusted +% level from the command line as follows:

<channels> [@] [+] [0][2] [Enter]

to add 2% your <channels>

3) In blind you can select your cue range

[Blind] [Cue] <x> [Thru] <y> [Enter]

Then adjust levels by percentage

<channels> [@] [+] [0][2] <cue only> [Enter]

This syntax will not affect channels at 0%.

Hope that helps.

Liam,

Another useful syntax which you may or may not know about:

In blind

Cue x thru y enter

[Chan(s)] @ 50 {Replacewith} 60 enter

To select a range of cues and take channels which appear at 50% up to 60%

Thanks Marc, I had all the steps but for some reason thought that @+10 would add 10 points to zero levels (but of course it doesn't)

Thanks for the tip as well Graham - I knew about the replace with but hadn't thought of it in this instance

[Cue] x [Thru][Enter]

1 @ +1 [Enter] is the way to go!

Cheers
