SmartDancer 135 – Playing Sequences

, ,

You can now read in and play any sequence from 1 to 9 and are no longer restricted to just sequence 1 (*sequence1).

*sequence0 is reserved for the Sequence Master that lets you play a series of sequences in the order entered onto the Sequence Master.
Sequences play automatically upon the completion of the previous sequence.

There is a special new menu for selecting a sequence to be read.

From the Main Menu,choose [Divisions] then [SendToDivs] then [Sequences]  then choose a sequence to read in by its sequence name by clicking on it.

Sequence names are created on the sequence Master (*sequence0);

The last sequence READ IN is shown after “Current Sequence”, in this case below it is a sequence called SeqName3

Also, note that *sequence1 is automatically read in upon SD Controller reset so you don’t need to read it in.

Then when ready, press the PLAY_SEQ button via Main-Menu –> [Options] button

If you made recent changes to a sequence, the ReReadSeq button will reread the last sequence selected and read (Current Sequence).

I may, probably, will switch the ReReadSeq and ReReadPrep buttons since I suspect changes would be mad more often to a sequence than to a Prep so it would be less clicks to Reread a Sequence.

NEW!

To Read and Play a sequence from chat or AutoFX

1,SD=READ_AND_PLAY_SD_SEQ%3

(this is different than the previous old command)

or

channel,SDREAD_AND_PLAY_SD_SEQ%2

*****************
Chain Sequences

As an extra option, any sequence can chain to another sequence, but not itself or that would create a loop.

The command format is (example):
*sequence2
13,ChainSeq,6
So the 3th line of sequence 2 chains to *sequence6 and
we must assume that the 13th line is the LAST line of sequence 2 or else there will be unexpected consequences as the system is not built to handle otherwise
