Triggering snapshots on Ion

Anyone know of a clever way to trigger a snapshot using the external fader wing on an Ion??  I have several snapshots that I want to bounce back and forth to without having to remember the snapshot number and/or having to type it in manually.  If I was on an Eos, I would just use a palette of Direct Selects as snapshots... but I don't have the screen space to dedicate that palette.  Any suggestions??

 

Thanks!

  • Well, this is a rather odd way to do it, but it should work.  Store to an empty cue list (cue 10/1 for example) - but make sure there is no content in the cue.  And then put your snapshot it the execute list of that cue.   (10/1 execute Snapshot n). Since that will trigger the cue, if you are trying to do this repeatedly, you can link that cue back upon itself, so it will reload into pending.  The only thing that will happen when you hit go is the snapshot.

    :-)

    At some point, we will provide a means to redefine the behavior of the buttons, we just haven't gotten there yet.

    Hope that helps.

    It is a bit strange... but totally works!  The only problem is that it makes that cuelist active... so now I have to load my master cue list before recording any cues... not a huge deal, just another thing to remember.  I tried to work around that, by making a macro.... [snapshot] 1 [enter] [cue] 1/ [enter]..... then executed that macro with cue 1 on cuelist 10.... the macro fires the snapshot just fine, but it doesn't re-load cuelist 1.  Any thoughts??

     

    Thanks!!
