LIGHTING CONTROL CONSOLE INSTALLATION & SETUP GUIDE

26 CONSOLE BUTTONS

22. Softkeys

The Softkey buttons are context sensitive to what you are doing. When no dialog boxes are open, they provide

additional functionality that is not available with the hard buttons on the console. When a dialog box is open, the

LEDs show you what buttons are used to jump to specific controls (lists, check boxes etc.). You can always see what

each button will do by reading the bubbles at the bottom of the screen. The LED will blink showing you what control

currently has focus.

23. Step Forward / Step Back Buttons

• Pressing the relevant button steps you through the Selected cue list using the step-time set in the properties of the

cue list ([VIEW] [SELECT]).

• If the cue list is active ([GO] had been pressed at some point), the effect will be seen on stage. If it is not active,

only the cue list pointer will move, awaiting a Go.

• Use with [SHIFT] to move to the top or bottom of the selected cue list.

• If a long cue is running (green LED is flashing on Go button) and you want to quickly complete it, press [STEP

FORWARD]. The cue will complete in the Cue List's Step Time as determined by the Properties of the Cue List.

24. Look Button

• Press [LOOK] then # [ENTER] to put the channels in a particular Look at their recorded level.

• Alternately you can set them to a level using the keypad by typing [LOOK] # @ Level [ENTER].

• Press [REC] then [LOOK] then a number to record a look.

• Press [REC] then a bump button to quickly record a look to a master (if set up to do so).

• Groups are stored as Looks, even if the levels are not used.

25. Tools Button

• The Softkeys display which tools are available when you press [SHIFT] and hold this button.

• Pressing will toggle the last selected tool on/off.

Note: A status bubble will appear at the bottom of the screen that shows the current active tool.
