Additional control — managing events
You can use the MIDI or GPIO functions of the PRO2 to control the parameters of an
external device (outgoing), and conversely you can use an external device to control
the PRO2 (incoming). Also, by using the PRO2’s unique ‘internal’ event option, you can
trigger events from within the showfile itself. All this is done by creating events in
scenes/point scenes.
You can have any number and types of events in any scene/point scene; their
parameters are set up and edited in an Edit Event window. Similarly to scenes/point
scenes, you can skip events during rehearsals.
Events (and scenes/point scenes) have a right-click menu (shown
right) that lets you to create, edit and copy events.
The following shows what some of the event symbols in the
Automation screen mean: = currently selected event; = MIDI
event; = GPIO event; = internal event; = incoming event;
and = outgoing event.
>> To create an event
Select the scene in which you want to create the event, and then do
one of the following:
• Click the ADD GPIO, ADD INTERNAL or ADD MIDI button as necessary.
• From the right-click menu, choose Add
Midi Event, AddInternal Event or
Add
GPIO Event as necessary.
>> To edit an event
1 Open the Edit Event window by doing one of the
following:
• Right-click the event you want to edit and then choose
Edit.
• Select the event you want to edit and then click EDIT.
2 In the Edit Event window, choose your options as
necessary. For example, you can use a program change to
trigger the event.
3 At the upper-right corner of the Edit Event window, click
“X” to close it.
Changes in the Edit Event window are live, that is, they are
immediately reflected in the show file. So you don’t have to save
the scene, as these are not audio parameters.
