and they have numbers on them and you want to make them transparent then press

So, how do we actually pull off making a feature preset? Well, let’s start by clearing all the channels
on the controller.

1) Press: CLEAR-ALL-ENTER

Now that we have a clean slate, call up a fixture and open up it’s dimmer, iris, shutter, etc. so that
we’ve got some white light coming out of it. Then move the light beam into a position where you can
see it clearly.

Now remember there can’t be any values on the Pan or Tilt features. So once you’ve moved the light
beam into position you’ve got to clear the Pan & Tilt. Look on the display to see which rotary
numbers Pan & Tilt features fall on.

2) Press: CLEAR-ROTARY-n-AND-n-ENTER

You should now have “---” (the little lines) on the Pan & Tilt features.

Now you’re ready to make a look. Use the rotaries to dial in some color, a gobo, and whatever else

for the dimmer channel at this time. Then

command to make sure that everything’s cleared out.

4) Press: ADD-FEATURE-PRESET-n-TO-FIXTURE-n-ENTER

That fixture should now have the look that you just made using the Feature Preset.

You can now give this Feature Preset a name as well as viewing it and changing the individual
parameters of it. To do this

5) Press: FEATURE-PRESET-ENTER

FEATURE PRESETS: Number: 1

F1 Clear feature Name: _

Pan: 37

This display shows you what’s in the current Feature Preset. You can change Feature Presets by
moving the cursor to the number field and use the +YES & -NO keys to increment up and down or
you can just type in the number that you want and press ENTER. Obviously, you can give the
Feature Preset a name in the “name” field by using the external keyboard. The bottom field allows
