5.8 Transitions
When overwriting presets, you will be prompted with a single popup asking how to handle the overwrite on
each screen. The choices will default to «overwrite» or «save new preset» when available on each screen.
If you do not want to update a particular screen, you can select «No Change». To confirm this popup, either
press
OK
or press the desired preset memory button again.
With the Orchestra², you can save the transition settings of any layer into 3 handy User Effects which can be
called back and edited at any stage. To do this, proceed as follows:
1.
Select a layer and configure its in and out transitions via the
Element page.
2.
Once all the desired settings have been made, press Save To
User Effect 1 to store the settings into the User Effect memory.
3.
To recall the User Effect, press the
USER EFFECT 1
button in
the Transition section of the Orchestra². The User Effect will
appear as you have set it up on your Preview output.
4.
Press the
TAKE
button to view the result on your Main output.
NOTE: To quickly save a User effect, in the Transition Section,
press and hold a User Effect Button.
5.8.2 Take
The
TAKE
button of the Orchestra², allows users to bring the Preview screen
onto the Main screen. Typically, a user will work on a preset on the Preview
output, then switch that preset to the Main output by pressing the
TAKE
button.
NOTE: The TAKE button is indicated in red, and will flash when pressed indicating
the switching process.
5.8.3 T-Bar
The smoothly weighted brushed aluminium T-Bar of the Orchestra², allows users to
seamlessly bring the Preview screen presets, to the Main output. Typically, a user
will work on a preset on the Preview output, then bring that preset to the Main
output by using the T-Bar.
NOTE:
• Elegant transitions can be achieved using the T-Bar by leaving it in the middle of its trajectory, resulting
in Main and Preview outputs overlapping. However, the Orchestra² will not let you access any settings or
changes on any layer or source if the T-Bar has not completed its course.
• Taking between presets which exceed the slave device’s ressources (too many layers for the device to
handle simultaneously) is called a Sequenced Take. Typically, in a Sequenced Take, the device will execute
all the closing effects of layers which are not in the following preset. Then, it will execute the cross effects
of the layers common to both presets, and finally execute the opening effects of the new layers in the
following preset. In this case, the T-Bar is not available.
