Compu Live III Intermediate programming
You can also add a small fader to the button. To do this, select your new button nnd go to - Button
menu - Button Settings - Dimmer/Speed tab -. Then select:
- Show the Dimmer fader
- Draw the fader on the button
- Use the minimum and maximum levels of each channel
There you go! now you have a button with a fader that controls the DMX output between 100 and 200
for a particular channel only. You can verify the DMX signal from the OUTPUTS window (black area at
the bottom of the controller)
Setting minimum and maximum dimmer levels is necessary, for example, when using a channel
controlling a shutter (e.g. Blackout from 0 to 99, Dimmer from 100 to 200 and Strobe from 201 to
255%). This way, you can have several faders within the same channel, each controlling a particular
fragment of the whole DMX range.
The Size function
This function allows you to increase or decrease the size of a movement. Imagine a scene with a
simple tilt movement. If you want to reduce the amplitude of the movement without editing your scene,
you must use the SIZE function from the Toolbar. All you need to do is move the fader on the toolbar
while the scene is running. You will be able to see the changes in real-time on your fixtures.
Page Dimmer and Speed
You can also use the DIMMER and SPEED functions as global parameters for the entire page:
- Page menu - Display - Live toolbar page -
Make sure that you keep track of the changes you make using this toolbar. The Live toolbar for the
page has priority over all the buttons inside the page.
