Soloing

[Andy!]

How do you set lights on the strand 300 to solo.. as in a show I need to solo a light whilst in a que. I cant find anything I nthe manual :huh:

Andy,

I guess you could make a cue and a bit (X.Y) or something? I'm not all that good with the Strands yet, but I guess you must be able to insert a cue with just the single channel in?

[Andy!]

Yeah but it will be easier to just flash the sub

[robloxley]

Well you can either record it in a cue or call up the channel using a submaster fader/flash button or the keypad.

If you want to solo a channel I think you can set the 'Bump mode' to 'flash+solo', then select the channel and press 'bump'. Otherwise you can record the chanel in a sub and I think you can set the sub bump-mode to 'solo'

Yeah that's what I dont no.. I cant find how to set it to solo:(

Andy,

Is there a sub button on the 300? Most likely to be in a cluster with Setup, Archive, Live, Groups etc. If there is press that, then it should come up with a list of the submasters. Then find the correct sub, and there should be a load of options - one of which will be to set the bump mode.

 

This is how it works on the 520i anyway....

for example you wanted to set sub 1 to solo,

 

hit <sub> found just left of the number keypad <1> and the on the lcd display you will see several options, I can't remember offhand, but if you have a play with those menues, one of them allows you to set it to solo

[Andy!]

Oh sweet cool I try that tommrow!!

"You can record a bump mode for each individual submaster. To record a bump mode you must be in the Submaster display. To change the bump mode, press _{to see the submaster display, and hold down the [sHIFT] key and move the trackball to change to edit mode. Select the Bump field for the appropriate submaster and use the [+] or [-] keys or the level wheel to change the bump mode. All submasters are initially set to Flash mode."}

 

_{From the strand 300/500 series manual}

 

 

_{And then select the solo option}

 

_{hope that helps!}

yeah I have just found it all in the manual :)

Thanks everyone for your help. I am doing a play called bright and need everything to flash "bright" now and then!
