Recalling Presets
Channels must be selected when recalling a preset. If a selected channel or parameter has no
value in the preset, it will stay in its current position. If you want to recall all channels in a preset, you
can press [Recall From] [Preset] [x]. Presets on direct selects will grey out if they are not
applicable for the current channel selection.
If you only want to recall certain parameters of the preset, select channels and enter the required
parameters (or those not required, using the [-] key) in the command line (see command examples
below).
When a preset is recalled, parameter changes will follow the manual timing defaults, if enabled. Any
preset which is contributing to live output from Ion is considered to be “active.”
You may recall presets using any of the following methods:
• {Preset 8} - recalls the associated preset data for selected channels.
• [Preset] [2] [Enter] - recalls preset 2 for selected channels.
• [Channel List] [Preset] [2] [Enter] - recalls the preset data for the channels in the selection
list.
• [Channel List] [Color] [Preset] [5] [Enter] - recalls only the color data from the specified
preset for the specified channels.
• [Color] & {Preset 7} - recalls just the color data from the specified preset for selected
channels.
• [Recall From] [Preset] [3] [at] [5] [Enter] - recalls all channels in preset 3, and sets all
intensity values at 50%. The original intensity data is still linked to the preset. If the intensity
change is desired you must update the preset to maintain the change and the link, or make
the data absolute before storing to another record target.
• [Channel List] [Preset] [7] [Enter] [at] [/] [5] [Enter] - recalls preset 7 for selected channels.
Intensity values will be recalled at 50% of their recorded state. The intensity link is maintained.
If the intensity change is desired the user either needs to update the preset to maintain the
change and the link, or make the data absolute before storing to another record target.
• [Recall From] [Preset] [9] [Enter] - selects all channels with data stored in preset 9.
• [1] [Recall From] [Preset] [1] [At] [5] [0] [Enter] - recalls the intensity of channel 1 from
preset 1 at 50% of the stored value. If channel 1 was set to 50 in preset 1, it’s recalled value
would be 25.
