Here is an excerpt of my previous posting about getting the Console Personalities to flip the appropriate switches in setup options.
I have done more side by side testing with 500 GP and trying to get the setup right in the Palette sw.GeniusPro
Personality: GP 500
Release Fixtures on Record: Off
Goto Cue on Record: Off
Default Cue Record Type: new Block Levels (basically Block Everything but don't show the hard zeros)
Default Look Record Type: Live but Record Minus Sub should be default.
Hold Delta Levels: Off
LightPalette
Personality: Palette Classic US
Release Fixtures on Record: On
Goto Cue on Record: On
Default Cue Record Type: Live
Default Look Record Type: Live but Record with Sub should be default.
Hold Delta Levels: Off
I'm going to take the Hold Delta Levels out of the picture for the moment because that was a separate option in the 500 code called Channel Control Auto Hold: On or Off.
If I setup as defined above...
Release Fixtures on Record: Off
Goto Cue on Record: Off
Then I believe I get appropriate GP response. I can then turn Hold Delta Levels on or off as I wish. This will store the cue but not change my live levels and it will not put me in the cue so I then have what is stored but I have all levels ouputting in my live programmer. This seems to be consistant w/ 500 series GP.
If I turn on Release Fixtures on Record, then I get behavior that I would expect would elicit furrowed brows and a turned head or two as I am now a: not sitting in the cue that I have just recorded and b: the lights have now turned off. Not good.
But if I am in LP mode and I have Goto Cue on Record: On and Release Fixtures on Record: On, then I am happy as a LP operator.
Basically, I believe that Release Fixtures on Record should only be an option if you have Goto Cue on Record: On. If Goto Cue on Record is off, then you should not be able to enable Release Fixtures on Record.
Thoughts?
