Sometimes the map of the Show and the Console are identical but you wish to move
modules from one place in the frame to another. For example, you may wish to bring
the controls for one actor or instrument closer to the centre of the console. If you
move an actors microphone from say channel 1 at the extreme left of the console
and plug it into say channel 9 (near the middle) the recorded cue data for these
channels would be incorrect. With the Re-Mapper, you can move the data recorded
in the cues for channel 1 so that it is now recalled to channel 10.
The Re-Mapper dialog box opened by clicking File->ReMap… shows that all faders
and modules in the Show are linked to the corresponding fader/modules in the Con-
sole. You can however break links and remake them in a different order. Figure 6-9
shows channel 1 and channel 16 and also channel 2 and 51 linked to swap the data
This is a very simple example of what could be a very complex rearrangement proce-
dures

If several different shows requires the same translation and the translation requires a
complex set of cross-links, saving the link-set as a file will make things easier and
save time. To save a link-set, click the Save Links button. Later you can reload this
link-set by clicking the Load Links button and thus, apply the rearrangement to
another show.

In some cases, using the Make a link feature in the Re-Mapper, generates a brief
summary of the translation on the screen, see
fig 6-12 opposite.
This report may give details of what has been translated and, more importantly, what
has not. It may be that an item that exists in the Show module does not have a corre-
sponding item in the destination module, thus resulting in the translation being only
partially done
