I did my first 2 gigs this weekend with my new Q-spot 260s controlled by MyDMX. Overall, I'm very happy with both the lights and the software. I do have one software question, though.
I've created a bunch of scenes using the "generator" function of MyDMX. I have all of the gobos, colors, shutter, dimmer, etc set just the way I want them. However, what I'm finding is that the X, Y, and focus settings change from venue to venue as I can never tell in advance what the relationship will be between the lights and the dance floor, ceiling, cake table, entry doors, or whatever else I'm aiming the lights at.
Is there a way I can globally and quickly change the X, Y, and focus settings without having to go through and manually change all of the other settings (gobo, color, brightness, etc) for each step in the scene? In other words, if I've set up a pattern where the movers go through and hit 10 random points on the dance floor during a scene, it's saved by the generator function as 10 different steps. Is there a way I can just change X, Y, and focus for those 10 points without having to go and re-set all the other parameters (which I don't want to change)?
Does that make sense? In other words, I want to get to the venue and say "the corners of the dance floor are here, here, here, and here- GO!"
