Update cue range @ %

Hello all,

This probably exists somewhere and I just can’t think of it.

Situation: The LD has just put a heavy frost in front of our HMI, he wants to put the channel up 10% in every cue.

I’m sorry I don’t have an Eos here (but I do have an O2!!) I don’t suppose I could type [Blind] [cue] 1 [thru] 508 [Enter] [Channel number] @ [+] 10 [Enter]

    You could suppose indeed!  This does work, although without the need of [At] and and the second [Enter] because the +% and -% don't require [At] and are self terminiating.  However, this will grab 0 values and bring them up.  I've tried to use {Replace With}, but that requires that you give it a value and put it to another value.  So if the LD wanted to increase every instance of 50 percent to 60 percent, then your laughing.  What I can't figure out is how to get the [+%] to ignore 0 values in this instance.  Over to someone else...

    Sorry, I was stupid:

    [At][/][1][1][0] will put a selection at 110% of its current value - which in the case of zero is still zero!

    Luke is correct, and it answers Crispy's question.  However, I was more hoping of a way to add 10 points, instead of 10 percent. (Which is what the +% and -% buttons do, despite their name.)  Is there a way to add 10 points to all the non-zero values in a range of cues?  Just to be a pain, and because I like round numbers.  If I add 10 percent to all my values, I get random percentages all over the place.  The LD says to me, what are these channels at?  I like to say 20, 30, and 45.  Not, 22, 33, and 48.

    Cheers,

    Kevin

    I'm sorry, my question was badly worded. I did mean up 10 points rather than percent. (Thanks to Kevin)

    I don't suppose i can stick a [select active] in there to stop the zeros.

    I could always then do the above syntax then do the [replace with] to put my 10% to zero. A touch long

    To add to any parameter, the syntax:

    [1 > 5 "Parameter" + 10] adds 10 "points" to the specified parameter. The +10% key adds 10 percent (which is 10 Points for the intensity parameter). This can be done acorss a range of cues.

     

    If you are only dealing with intensity, you can use the select active button to only do this to intensities above 0.

    Unfortunately, Select Active only looks at the first cue if you do this to a range of cues, so this still wouldn't work as you'd like.

    Sorry, but the replace with solution is the only one I think will work at this time.

    Crispy and Dan,

    I've taken Dan's last post and responded in the National/RSC forum.

    I think the solution here is that if, within a blind range edit, when adding via +/- % or /, channels that are off are excluded....}

    Thoughts on that?

    Thanks guys

    Hello,

     

    Sorry to revive an ancient thread, but it was the first to answer my search.  

     

    Has there been any feature added to globally raise a channel's level a point without needing to select active?  I have the same challenge as the original poster and need to increase the intensity of my cyc through the entire show, about 300 cues.

     

    Many thanks.

    Hey Click,

    This was fixed at one point (Hooray!), but then got broken (Boo!). The [+%] and [-%] keys used to ignore 0 levels, but now they post a [Select Active] to the command line, which doesn't work with a range of cues selected...

    Hopefully this will get fixed (perhaps by allowing [Select Active] to work with a range of cues?), but until then, the easiest way to do what you're looking for is the {Replace With} workaround mentioned above.
