  4. Using Submaster to run a show

    in ORB & ORB XF

    Posted

    I do several single instance concerts a year (one day to setup, no clue what the music is like and concert in the evening). I generally create several scenes to manage all the static lights and assign them to submasters, then mix them on the fly (moving heads are also pre-programmed, the touch screen makes running them real easy :) - good job).

     

    Anyway, the questions:

    1. The sliders by default are cues, is there a way to change the default behavior to submasters? My work around is: from a new show, I manually set 30 of them to submaster and saved that as a show, so at least now I just start with the show - hopefully there is an easier way.

     

    2. I'd also like a real easy, very quick way to switch between submaster pages. Something like assigning a submaster page to a UDK - so when I press UDK 3, it switches to submaster page 3 (I do a lot of training new lighting folks, and keeping things real simple is imperative) - having to press 4 keys - Sub {page} <number> <enter> - is too time consuming in a live show.

     

    thanx

    btw - LOVE the Iphone/Ipad app - it makes aiming and setup much easier. I actually ran a whole concert from my IPAD - sitting in the audience, it was a lot of fun.

    If you're taking requests for feature adds to the next version of the OS, can you add command line entering via the keyboard to the list :) ? Being an old Unix admin, it's easier for me to type commands than try and find the button to make it work.

    I assumed you could type any of the functions, things like:

    select stack n

    colour n record

    load <udk> <cue>

    etc.

     

    rather than pressing the function key.

     

    It sounds like the keyboard is only good for renaming objects (cue, stack, udk, etc).

    The keybaord on the ORB doesn't work - or at least the letters don't work on the command line. Both sets of numbers work, and the letters work when renaming items (macro, submaster, cue, etc) - so I know it see the keyboard.

    OS Version 5.0.2.0

    Software Version 5.4.0

    Motherboard BIOS - MODBR131

    Any ideas?
