How do I release values with a delay timing?

For instance I have 8 spots in magenta and in the next cue (or in the off cue) I want them to release the magenta color with a delay of 0 thru 2 secs.

Thank you in advance.

Thanks Andeas for the tip. Ill look at the command line history more often to see how to write a command.

I got the macro working. Thanks

Here is an example of the macro I call in de cdm field of the cue containing the recipe to set the width of the first step of the corresponding phaser. Its annoying that it runs through the programmer and i agree totally that since the step width is so important to build your phasers it should be somehow possible to set this not using the programmer and setting phaser parameters should become part of the recipe ecosystem? Anyway, here's my workaround:

Blind ClearAll

Edit Preset 21."SpotMetaPhaser"

Attribute dimmer At Width 50 Step 1

Attribute ColorRGB_R At Width 50 Step 1

Attribute ColorRGB_G At Width 50 Step 1

Attribute ColorRGB_B At Width 50 Step 1

Update Preset 21."SpotMetaPhaser" /NoConfirm

ClearAll

Blind Off

If someone could help me to write an macro that sets the width of all parameters all at once I would be super happy...

Andreas helped me and now my macro looks like this:

Blind ClearAll

Edit Preset 21."SpotMetaPhaser"

Set UserProfile 1 Property "EncoderLinkPhaser" "AtFilter"

At Width 33 Step 1

Update Preset 21."SpotMetaPhaser" /NoConfirm

Set UserProfile 1 Property "EncoderLinkPhaser" "Single"

ClearAll Blind Off

Thank again Adreas!

Feature is implemented.

Tip, if you edit a layout view object in the layout view pool you get a excel like overview of all the objects you have in your layout. Editing of multiple items at the same time is very easy here.

Guys,

Some input on step width vs phase.

If I want to make a odd even dimmer chase using my template 2 step phaser, I keep the step width of 1 and 2 of the template phaser at 100%. In MAtricks I add a grouping of 2. Then I apply a phase of 0 thru 360. The transition time of both the steps determines the fade time.

If I want to make a 1 in 3 dim chase I change the step width of step 1 to 50% and step 2 I leave at 100%. In MAtricks I add a grouping of 3. Then I apply a phase of 0 thru 360.

This way the width of step 1 and 2 combined can be divided by 3. 50% + 100% results in 50% step width for each of the 3 steps. For a 1 in 4 chase, I set step 1 to 33%. And so on. You get the point. No complicated phaser calculations needed. It just works with a phase of 0 thru 360. And I even believe every phaser distribution works. --> I just checked this last part and its not true! Using this step width method you must always use a phase of 0 thru 360 to achieve a 1 in x chase.

I have a macro which I trigger in the cmd field to set the width of the corresponding group (grid) count of the template phaser. When I’m home I’ll share it here. It is simple way to achieve what the op wants as I understand it.

Sadly the desk does not adapt the phaser and MAtrickt settings when the corresponding group (and thus grid count) is updated.

If you have found a simple solution for that. I would love to hear it…

Quote from Andreas

be aware that the commandine syntax e.g.

Width 10

will apply to the single currently Selected Attribute (bright yellow font in Fixture Sheet column secondary headline),

while the Phaser Editor Window checkboxes doesn't select attributes, but rather filters attributes, by operating the AtFilter.

Only if "Link Phaser" is set to AtFilter, will the syntax above propagate the width value from the selected attribute to other attributes (that are not disabled by these filter checkboxes)

Hi Andreas,

Is it possible to set LinkPhaser to AtFilter using the command line or a macro? If so, could you please write example of a complete macro sentence which one could use to set the width of all parameters of a phaser to a value? I have a command for that per parameter atm. It would be a life saver if I could set the width for all parameters of a phaser in one go.

I’m transitioning form chamsys to grand Ma3 and loving the ride. It’s always nice to learn new stuff but sometimes I regret not paying more attention in my programming classes in school

Kind regards,

Manuel

Nice. Can you also apply math? For instance modify the current measure setting with *2 to double the speed?
