Multiple Goto?

Hey Stephen,

There is no sytax that would allow you to do this directly from the comand line.

Personally I'd start making use of Virtual Lists and Scenes here.

Build a bunch of different Scenes with your color cues each being one. Turn off GUARD in the Scene directory and you can now pick your color by touching the screen.

The for your intensity cues, build either "blank" Scenes or Lists and put GOTO comment macros in them. Then trigger them in the same fashion from the screen, while keeping the actual intensity cuelist on a fader to maintain manual control as well.

Hope this helps.:)

I figured as much. I can say however, I'm making much more use of the VM cuelists now that i have two external touches! Thanks for the advise!

Marty, can you explain the purpose of using a Scene to change color, instead of a color palette?

Sure thing:)

By using Virtual Scenes and Cuelists triggered off the touchscreens, you are able to make quick changes on-the-fly, but without tying up the programmer.

So just as a simple example, you could be changing colors, positions, FX-base points, etc, etc... off Virtual Scenes and Cuelists...and at the same time be writing an entirely new look in the Programmer with Blind enabled. Then simply hit Blind and your whole new look comes up in your default times.

Make sense?:hogsign:

Yea that actually makes great sense. I work at a music venue and do shows on a weekly basis, so on the fly programming is very important to me. This sounds like a great way to change colors and positions, but still use the effects engine to get the rate and all right.

I have been using virtual cuelists to do gobo effects, prisms, strobes, etc, but haven't used scenes that much yet.

What examples would you use Scenes over Cuelists, or vice versa?

I tend to use Scenes for anything I don't need to turn "Off" and only change. Like colours, positions, MSpeed times, etc.

For Lists, I generally set "Add Release End Cue" under Options in order to essentially be able to turn whatever it is "On" or "Off". Like gobos, movement FX, foggers & hazers, etc.
