Editing Artist Help: Yoke Wash Fixture

This cue list can be used either sequentially or randomly. Notice that this fixture group displays all it's fixture parameters.

The Method
From the  Fixture View toolbar set the Preset Levels for all the fixtures to give us something to work with. Using the blue left and right arrow keys and the Fixture Control/Parameters window set positions on each of the fixtures.

Blue/Mauve : The first cue has a graduated colour mix. From the  Fixture View tool bar select the Color Mix parameter. With all fixture active go to Fixture Control/Fanning and select the First radio button. Adjust the colour of this fixture then select the Last radio button and adjust the colour of the last fixture to produce the required graduated display. Save as a cue.

Rainbow move : With all the fixtures active zero all the yoke parameters. Activate the Movement Scene in the Scene List View. You should open it's Scene Control Panel set the Count to 1 and check the 'Hold' box. This means that the scene will run through the steps and hold on the last one.

Go to Fixture Control/Fanning, select Color Mix parameter from the Fixture View toolbar and click Rainbow. Adjust Brightness and Contrast. Save this as the next cue.

Colour dance : In the third cue the fixture positions should be the same as the last step of the Movement scene but first we will set up the other parameters. Zero all the yoke and the colour mix parameters. Activate the Colour Scene and save this as a new cue.

To add the position data to this cue, first click Clear All flags in the Fixture View toolbar, go to the last step of the movement scene in the Scene Tree view, right-click on it and select Set Parameters. Now click Add To in the Cue Programming section of the Master/Program Control window. In the Program Data dialog ensure that only yoke parameters are going to be added and click Save + Clear.

Wave : In previous cues we have kept the parameter value from previous cues  by clicking Save + No Clear in the Program Data dialog to avoid clear the parameter flags and then modified the parameters for the next cue. Now after creating the last cue we have cleared all the flags and now we have no output. We can set all parameter to the values contained in the previous cue by right-clicking on it and selecting Set Parameters.

Deactivate the Colour Scene and in Fixture Control/Fanning click on Rainbow and adjust as required. Set the dimmer parameters to about 50% and go to Fixture Control/Effects. Activate the dimmer effect, select Wave effect and adjust the Size to 50% and the Spread to 40%. This effect adds to the 50% level on the dimmer parameters.

Out : The last cue is an out cue and is just a copy of the previous one with the dimmers zeroed.
