Presets
Presets are saved snapshots of DMX fixture states — colors, dimmers, positions, and more. Activate a preset to instantly apply that state to your fixtures, with optional smooth fading.
Viewing and Activating Presets
On the touchscreen, navigate to Main Menu > Presets. Tap a preset to activate it. If a cue is playing, it will be stopped when a preset is selected. Long-hold for settings.
In the Web UI, go to Lighting > Presets. Click the play icon to activate, or click the preset name to open its detail page for editing.
Preset Types
- Global — Applies to all configured fixtures and universes
- Zone — Applies only to fixtures within a specific zone
- Fixture — Applies to a specific individual fixture
A preset with a single universe will be output to all configured universes when selected. A multi-universe preset will only output to the number of universes stored in the preset.
Preset Settings
- Code — Unique identifier for API and external control
- Name — Display name
- Fade Duration — How long the transition takes when activating or deactivating the preset
- Effect — Optionally assign an effect that runs while the preset is active
Editing Presets
Stopping a Preset
An active preset can be stopped, which will fade out the preset output over the configured fade duration. In the Web UI, use the stop button. On the touchscreen, activating a different preset or using blackout/stop will deactivate the current preset.
See Blackout and Stop for details about the difference between blackout and stop.
Duplicating Presets
In the Web UI, you can duplicate a preset to create a copy with the same fixture states. This is useful for creating variations — for example, the same scene at different brightness levels.
