Edit local settings

Default Language

It is not possible to change this setting, as the console, at the moment, only supports English language. 

Network DMX if alone

When this is "On", the console will output DMX over network when only one desk (as master) is in the session.

Important
This setting can conflict with other console (as master), sending out DMX in the network.

Example

In the following example, 3 consoles are in a session, connected with one switch to manage MANet on the first ethernet port, and another one to manage Art-Net on ethernet port 2. All the consoles have Network DMX if alone enabled.

If the switch that distribute MANet fails, all 3 consoles will be "Alone" in the network, become Master and will send out Art-Net. This will make a conflict in the fixtures because they will receive Art-Net from 3 different sources. To avoid this conflict, make sure that only one of the consoles have Network DMX if alone enabled. This will make sure that when the consoles are "Alone" in the network, only the console with Network DMX if alone will send out Art-Net.

Show release notes on start

Turn Show Release Notes on Start "On" or "Off", to see the release notes on startup.

Flashing error LED on wrong fader position

Turn Flashing error LED on wrong fader position "On" or "Off" to let a red LED flash, if the fader is in a wrong position.

Important:
This function is only available on a grandMA2 ultra-light and a grandMA2 onPC with a wing. On a grandMA2 ultra-light it relates the red LEDs under the faders. In the grandaMA2 onPC it relates the LEDs in the keys over the faders.

Exec CLI

Turn Exec CLI ​(Command Line Interaction) "On" or "Off" to let the Command Line interact with the executors.

In the following  example Exce CLI is "Off".

If Select is pressed, followed by an Executor button, this will NOT select the executor, but perform the action assigned to the button.

Default Go, Goback, Pause CLI

Turn Default Go, Goback, Pause CLI "On" or "Off" to let the Command Line interact with the big Default Go, Goback and Pause keys.

If a macro is edited and Default Go is pressed, the system will NOT enter DefaultGo in the macro-line, but execute the next cue in the selected executor.
