Ready… GO

Temporary windows are those that can be called up independent of a View, and don’t require that you clear off the desktop to open them. Accessing them is easy. To do this, press and hold the LIST key and press any of the following keys to open the corresponding window:

CHANNEL opens the Channel Sheet
FIXTURE opens the Fixture Sheet
GROUP opens the Group Pool
SEQUENCE opens the Sequence Pool
EXECUTOR opens the Executor Sheet
MACRO opens the Macro Pool
VIEW opens the Views Pool
EFFECT opens the Effects Pool
PAGE opens Channel Pages*

Tip: Some of these keys are associated with multiple windows, which means that by holding the LIST key and hitting certain other keys twice, you’ll open other windows. The PRESET key is a great example of this. Each time you hit PRESET while holding down the LIST key, you’ll be given a new PRESET window (Dimmer, Pan/Tilt, Color, etc).

*Also try holding the LIST key and pressing keys like CHANNEL, FIXTURE, GROUP, EXECUTOR, PAGE and EFFECT more than once…

All temporary windows can be closed by pressing the ESCAPE key.
