TECHNICAL FAQ

Here you will find answers to technical questions. Please read this section and check if your question is already covered before contacting us.

1How to setup the Template Showfile for a new stage layout?
Setting up the file is simple and can be done in a three step process. Adapt your patch, adapt your groups and update your presets.
That's basically it! Check out our tutorials on YouTube, to get the best to get the best overview.
2Is it an issue to delete all the fixtures from the patch?
Not at all. The file is not build as a clone show. You can use it that way and it makes sense to keep presets up and running for your standard fixtures, but for the file itself it makes no difference. You can either replace fixtures in the patch or delete them and start from scratch.
3Is it possible to add custom content easily?
Yes, absolutely. The Template Showfile V2 is fully based on cue recipes and a structure with playback masters. So you can easily adapt all the content and use the normal MA3 playback structure. Different to our V1, macros will not overwrite sequences, so you can modify and customize them.
