At Keyword

grandMA3 User Manual » Command Syntax and Keywords » General Keywords » At
Version 2.1

To enter the At keyword in the command line, use one of the options:

  • Press At 
  • Type At
  • Type the shortcut A 

Description

The At keyword is a function keyword and a helping keyword at once.

  • As a function keyword it is used to apply values.
  • As a helping keyword it is used along with other function keywords to indicate destination. 
Hint:
At applies values live in the programmer. For information on how to apply values throughout the show file see the Clone keyword. 

At is "the exception that proves the rule". At is one of the few functional keywords which accept objects before the function.

As a starting keyword, At is a function that applies values in the programmer to the current selection.

If value type Fade or Delay is used, the value list will be applied as individual fade/delay times.

Following an object list, At is a function that applies values to the object list. If the object list does not support the At function, the object list is resolved into a selection list and At applies values in the programmer.

Following an object list that follows a function, At is a helping keyword for the starting function.
