27.4. Use worlds when programming
Worlds are a great tool when programming.
The point about the worlds is to apply a limitation to what fixtures and attributes you are affecting.
This can be very useful if you have a lot of different values in your programmer, but you only want to store some of
the values. For instance if you want to store a color preset for some of your fixtures before storing all values in a cue.
Let us have a closer look at this example. Make sure you have a show with some different fixtures - you could load
the "demo dimmer and more" show from the Demo shows.
Create a world for each of the different fixture types. Name the worlds: Spot, LED, Blinder, Par
This is the setup needed for all the following examples.
Preset example
1. Make sure you are in the "Full" world.
2. Give your spots a dimmer value, a position value, and a color (do not use an existing color preset).
3. Give some of the other fixtures some colors and dimmer values.
This is our look on the stage that everyone is happy about. But you want to be a cool and organized programmer, so
instead of just storing these values in the cue, you want to make color presets for the spots and use the preset in the
cue.
4. Select your "Spots" world.
Notice that now you can only see your sports in the Fixture Sheet and in the Stage View. But a DMX Sheet will show
you that you are still outputting all the other values as well.
5. Store a color preset.
6. If you do not use the "Keep activation" setting, then apply the preset, so you have preset link in your
programmer.
7. Select the "Full" world
Now you are back to where you where. The output to the stage never changed! Entering a world do not change the
output.
