Sequence Button

A Sequence Button Simply allows the user to recall a Sequence or Look and play it back. Sequence Buttons work in two modes. Stack mode or Release Mode. For instructions on how to create a sequence button refer to Create Sequence Button Using The Sequence Wizard, Create a Static Look Sequence Button, Create a Moving Sequence Button.

Stack Mode allows for the Stacking or Mixing of sequences . This can be described with the following example. We can make two sequence Buttons, one with movement information ( pan and tilt values) and one with color and gobo information. Using stack mode we can play the movement Sequence Button and the color/gobo Sequence button at the same time, producing a final look with both movement and color/gobo. Stack mode works by pressing the bottom half of the button.

Release mode allows for all buttons on the page or in the button group to release, and plays the Requested button on its own.  Release mode works by pressing the top half of the button.

An active Sequence Button has the ability to list all the steps in that sequence and select the scene/step to jump to from the list of scenes. These scenes/step are static, and do not include movement just static scenes

           

A Sequence Button can also be locked so that the Sequence activated by the button will not be overridden or change. This can be used to light  up bars, walls, etc, and to ensure they will not change no matter what other Sequences are playing.

Sequence Buttons work together on a page or when placed into a Button Group. Button groups allows the user to move a group of buttons at the same time or allows a groups of buttons to work as an independent controller. Button groups also allows for the dimming of all fixtures running a sequence button located in the button group. Button Groups can also be named for better organization.

To move a Sequence Button On a page simply click on the button wait 2 seconds and the move the button to the position you would like it. Once you have the position simply release the mouse button and the button will be placed where the cursor is.

Buttons can also be renamed, copied to other pages, deleted, Edited, or assigned to a keyboard or MIDI shortcut by right clicking on the button, and following the instructions for the specified task requested.
