You now program the scenes for your show by
creating each look on stage and recording each
look as a scene. If a scene is to include the
Fixtures focused on the centre rostrum, you apply
the centre rostrum preset and then store or record
the look as a scene. You might program 20
different scenes that include the centre rostrum
preset
. The centre rostrum is now moved down
stage by 2 metres so it is no longer lit. You get the
centre rostrum
preset, adjust the position of
Fixtures to the new position and re-store the
preset. All of the 20 scenes that include the centre
rostrum
preset will now automatically recall the
new position.
16.10.1 PRESET NUBERING
Presets are stored by page and number. When
the [preset] button is pressed, the [Colour,
Beam, Focus
] button cycles through the 4 pages
(User, Colour, Beam or Focus) and the yellow [f/a]
buttons select the preset number.
The page names are simply an organisational
tool. You can actually store any type of preset
(colour, beam etc) in any page.
16.10.2 STORING A PRESET
To store a preset, Hi-light all of the Fixtures to
which the preset will apply then set the
parameter(s) to the value(s) to be stored. Apply
Filter(s) to the parameter(s) to be stored in the
preset.
Only FLASHING parameters will be INCLUDED.
To store the preset, press;
[store], [preset], [Colour/Beam/Focus] (optional,
repeated presses for the four pages), [[f/a] (preset
number).
The letter “P” is displayed on the Pad View screen
for each parameter in the Preset.
16.10.3 APPLYING A PRESET
If a preset is applied to the PaTPad, all Fixtures
on the PaTPad that are also stored in the preset
will move to those preset settings if there
parameters are flashing (as determined by any
Filters or Hi-lights that might be applied).
Only FLASHING parameters will be affected.
To apply a preset, press;
[preset], [Colour/Beam/Focus] (4 optional
pages), [f/a] (preset number).
All fixtures on the PaTPad (with their required
parameters flashing) that also exist in the preset
will change to their preset settings and a “P” will
be shown on the Pad View screen for every
parameter that was affected by the preset.
Hint: Include all of your fixtures in every
preset that you store. Then, when loading a
preset, use groups to hi-light only the fixtures
to be affected by the preset. This allows you to
combine groups with presets to create large
numbers of combinations.
16.10.4 LINKING A PRESET TO A
SCENE
To link a preset to a scene, apply the preset
(above) then (without altering any “P”
parameters), record or store a scene.
Note: If a new lighting “look” has been created
by playing back several scenes that already
contain links to presets and a new scene is
now stored or recorded, then any links to
presets in any of the scenes contributing to
the look will be retained in the new scene.
16.10.5 CLEARING PARAMETER LINKS

will be displayed on video 4 “Pad View”.

will not be included in any saved scenes, press;
[clear], [preset].
Only flashing parameters will have their links to
Presets cleared.
16.10.6 REMOVING A LINK TO A
PRESET FROM A SCENE

This loads the scene and selects all filtering as
originally stored in the scene.

Use either [record] (all current output) or [store]
