Changing assignments
Encoders and other level setting devices are assigned to 44 of the 64
available attributes by default. You may change the default settings to suit
your individual needs, such as to reassign attributes that you most
commonly select to suit your individual setup or preferences. You may
not, however, assign an attribute to more than one location on a page.
There are three ways to change assignments in the Encoder Setup
display: individually, automatically and back to defaults.
Change individually
1. Select a trackpad axis with the up/down arrows.
2. Select Page 1 with the left/right arrows. Press [Enter].
3. Select an attribute with the [+] or [–] keys.
4. Continue making changes until done.
Change automatically
The console can make automatic level setting assignments for all fixture
attributes you are using in your show. One reason you may want to use
this automatic assignment feature is to ensure that all your attributes are
included in the encoder setup (20 do not appear in a default setup).
Another reason is to quickly concentrate your attributes on the lower-
numbered pages, thus reducing the need to change pages when setting
levels. Only attributes in the current show are assigned. pan and tilt are
assigned to the trackpad on every page.
This feature is available as a softkey called Autoload Encoders in Fixture
Patch or in the Encoder Setup display (in Fixture Patch, you may need to
press [S7], More Softkeys, first). In the Encoder Setup display, press [S6],
Autoload Encoders (you must press [Enter] twice to confirm). After
executing an Autoload assignment, the Encoder Setup display resembles
the one shown in the illustration below.
Resetting defaults
You may return to the default level setting assignments anytime you wish.
In the Encoder Setup display, press [S7], Reset Defaults, and press
[Enter] twice to confirm.
