Is there a way to update a group cue from the LIVE view. I have a bunch of group cues that I am using with moving lights so that I only have to adjust a few group cues PAN and TILTs levels for each stage position I am using. Right now I go to LIVE view and position the light where I want it, then I have to memorize the 4 numbers for PAN, PAN FINE, TILT and TILT FINE and manually put them in the group patch for that moving light.

Thanks for any guidance.

I am so loving LX Console.

You can record a group from "Live" just like you record a cue. In the command line, press "r" and that will expand to "record:" Then, press "g" and the command line will change to "record group:" Enter the group number, hit return, and the current live cue will be recorded as that group.

There's no way to select only some channels and record them in a group. You have to record the entire current picture. But, it is an interesting idea to be able to do that...

The latest build of LXConsole 2.2.11 (5026) has the ability to only record selected channels. The command line syntax is as follows:

To record only channels 1 thru 10 to cue 100 from live mode, use the following key presses:

<1>, <t>, <10>, <a>, <r>, <1>, <0>, <0>, <enter>

This expands to the command line: "1>10@record:100" The result is that only the levels of channels 1 thru 10 will be recorded into cue 100.

Similarly if you had a moving fixture on channel 112 and wanted to record its current live position, color, etc into group 33 the key presses would be:

<1>, <1>, <2>, <a>, <g>, <3>, <3>, <enter>

This expands to the command line: "112@record group:33" The result is that only the levels associated with channel 112 are recorded into group 33.

Similarly you can record only selected channels into a sub:

<1>, <1>, <2>, <a>, <s>, <3>, <3>, <enter>

becomes

"112@record sub:33"

The important part of the syntax is that after the list of channels comes "@" and then the record command which is either "r", "g" or "s".
