e. 'Set to Yak...': Only if a Audio or video file is used for synchronization. The audio

waveform is transferred into the digital function(s).

g. 'Set Digitals On': The selected digital function(s) are turned 'On' in the selected area.

More ways to modify an analog channel........

If you are only using digital channels, you may want to skip this step.

Select one or more analog channels for one or more frames worth of time. Under the

Edit pulldown you can select the following commands to:

a. 'Clear to Default Values':# Sets any selected analog(s) back to their default values

(set for each channel under the Channels List). You can also use the ʻDeleteʼ key on
your keyboard as a shortcut to this command.

b. 'Fill with First Value':# The value at the start of the selected area is used to fill in the

rest of it.

c. 'Invert Valuesʼ: The selected analog channels(s) are inverted. As an example, a

value that was at 25% will be inverted to 75%.

d. 'Reverse Valuesʼ: The selected analog(s) are reversed in time.

e. 'Set to Yak...': Only if a .WAV file is used for audio synchronization. The audio wave-

form is transferred into the digital function(s).

f. 'Set Analogs to a Value...': You can enter a value for the selected analog(s).

g. 'Ramp to a value...': You enter the ending value for a ramp. A ramp is generated from

the existing value at the start of the selected area to the value you enter at the end
of the selected area. You can also select the type of curve to use for the ramp (linear
ʻstraight lineʼ, spline or curve). The ʻCurveʼ option often works best for this command.

h. 'Scale by Percentage...': The value you entered is added or subtracted from the se-

lected analog channel(s).

i. 'Smooth': This command applies a filter to the selected analog channel(s). This will

remove any jitter, and smooth out the highs and lows in an analog channel. The
value of this filter is set under the Preferences pulldown/ʻSmoothing' dialog. A larger
value will filter more. Each time you apply the filter to the same analog, it will be fil-
tered more. Eventually, you will end up with a flat line.

Save your show (again)........

Now that you have something programmed, you can now download it to the Bricks

you are using. You should save your work using the File pulldown/ʻSave' command. If
you donʼt, PC•MACs will not let you download the show in the next step.

AutoDownload your show........

If you have a Pb-DMX/32 attached to your PC, you will now want to try out the Auto-

Download functions of PC•MACs. Jump forward to the ʻAutoDownload Quick Startʼ sec-
tion of this manual to give it a try!
