Right, having a bit of a mare with setting up a touch screen with freestyler! I'm new to computer controlled DMX, and freestyler, bear with me.

I've created some sequences with pan/tilt gobo movements, and I want to be able to flick between them though out the night at a touch of a button (like you can with Martin Lightjocky).

I've manage to establish that using the override buttons labelled with the scenes names will not include pan and tilt (this screen looks similar to what lightjocky does).

So how can I setup a set of buttons to do this?
Should I be using cues?
If I should use cues, how do I insert my already created scenes into these cues?

Next question is about Pan/Tilt programming. I can't figure out how to do something.

I want to set them up so that the scanner i'm using goes left to right extremes while slowly moving down, but unsure how to adjust the pattern to make it do this?

Hope you can help,

Thanks!

hello, andy-visionaldisco

i do not know anything about Martin Lightjocky.

but can you explaine your pan/tilt issue a little better.

but do you mean someting like this. you like to play a couple of sequences(pan/tilt/gobo) with just one press of a button..? and i which detail do you like to switch between though them?

but also take a look at http://www.freestylersupport.com/wiki the freestyler wiki maby this help you.

Hiya. First of all: Freestyler lives and breathe "drag and drop". This is nice to know sometimes...

And yes, I would use cues or even cuelists if you want some more flexibility. To make a cue, open "Cue", click the cog named "Cue options" and "Insert scenes". Then you just find the scene you want and drag it into the cue window.

As for the pan/tilt, you could just make a sequence with the two extreme positions and run it. That would make a linear movement. If you want a more smooth movement, I'm afraid that you must add a bunch of positions in between the two extremes.

it's realy easy to make smooth movement you can use the shape option in the pan/tilt window.
or the FX in the Create sequence window.

(You can also drag and drop a shapes on a Override buttons, But an seqeunce made with the fx needs to be run on the, Submaster, cuewindw or Cuelist buttons)

maby you both like to know it.
