Automated Channels

You can designate any channels as Automated channels in the Patch display.

Automated channels are not affected by the Grandmaster fader or the Blackout

switch. An Inhibitive submaster can still control Automated channels, but a

Bump button in Solo mode does not force Automated channels to zero. Use

Automated channels to control automated equipment such as color scrollers,

moving lights, etc. Automated channels should control the specific operation

of the equipment while a standard control channel affects the intensity of the

light. This separate control allows you to use the Grandmaster to bring down

the intensity of lights without affecting their position or color setting.

You can use the command [GO TO CUE] [0] [ENTER] as a starting point for

new cues because this command does not affect the levels of any Automated

channels.

? EXAMPLE: To assign channels as Automated channels in the Patch

display:

1. [# list] (AUTO CHAN)

2. (ON)

? EXAMPLE: To return Automated channels to normal channels in

the Patch display:

1. [# list] (AUTO CHAN)

2. (OFF)

Automated channels are shown in purple in all displays. Automated channel

levels still appear according to the normal color code to indicate their control

status in the current cue.

All Automated channels belong to Group Zero. You can still assign

Automated channels to any group at any level you wish. You can affect the

levels of all Automated channels with any level setting command that uses

Group Zero. This is useful for putting all Automated channels under control of

the wheel.

? EXAMPLE: To place all Automated channels under control of the

wheel:

[GROUP] [0] [ENTER].

HINT: If you assign Automated channels that control color scrollers

to a submaster at a level of Full, you can use the sub fader to move through the

colors. The same principle applies to the parameters of moving lights. Don't

forget that any other levels from other subs or cues control channels on a

"highest level takes precedence" basis.
