Hello, Dev team!
On the heels of the new tracking & cue options (the ‘release’ parameter is a game changer!) - and having just read about the work-in-progress feature to “split” playbacks so the buttons / faders within a playback strip can have different objects assigned to them, I’m raising another suggestion that would add a great deal of functionality.
In addition to the existing button actions (Go, Back, Pause, Release etc.), I’d love to see the addition of a few others, not entirely dissimilar to GMA –
-
Top or ‘First Cue’: go to the first cue in the cuelist
-
Go-To XXX: Prompts for the insertion of a cue number. From there, this button will always go-to the specified cue number. Very helpful for use in conjunction with links, and / or for similar functionality to the “off” cue in GMA
-
Go-To: An action that always prompts which cue to go to (similar to the existing “Direct Cue” function; except the UI for the existing function is not ideal when a cuelist has many cues)
-
Load Active / Load Active + Inactive: Brings the active (and inactive?) values of the current cue into the programmer
-
Select Active: Selects the fixtures with active values in the current cue
Could probably think of a few others given some time, but this would already make for a huge workflow improvement. Next up will be some basic output filters
I’ll save that for another post!
