main playcontroller buttons..

I know we(and I) have discussed alternate use for the main playcontrollers for the future..so i'm not shure if this wish has been covered..

-I'd like to "lock" the main playback to a list.. theres pobably more ways that this can be imlemented..but heres two ideas atleast..

1. we could "link" the main controllers to one of the 10 playbacks as today, but just disregard the choose keystrokes.. maybe we could link it with holding mainchoose down, and press the choose we like to link permanently to..

2.we could make the main playback a faderless playback and in that way just move a quelist to the main playback as we today do with the playbacks.. This will also give us one more playback..

-it will probably be wise to look at which of the main playback's button that will be "locked" since basically will only want the play and hold button, since i would use this function on my "main" cuelist in a show situation, and i will probabbly want to have the skip ffw/bck release/assert/goto available to the other lists..maybe an option to choose which buttons you use for this new "playback".. and maybe if you need the other buttons temporarily for this new "playback" maybe holding down main choose and press skip ffw, as an example..

    if lack of intensity control would be a problem for some people, how about putting in a feature like when the GM is faderless today.. you could hold down mainplaybacks choose, and turn I-wheel(or first encoder on IPC/wing).. But then theres the problem with visual feedback of intensity.
    -but personally, i would think of it as a virtual list as Marty said.

    -Maybe this could be two seperate features of the desk..

    1-assign a list directly to it..-no intensity control, acts as virt.cuelist -you can hold down other choose's to use the buttons for those playbacks temporarily.

    2-"link" it to one of the other quelists, basically making it disregard choose buttons.. then you can I-control it with the original fader.-you can still hold down other choose's to use the buttons for those playbacks temporarily.

    -thats two functions thats both usefull, but in two different ways..
