Curves

Edit Curve

This allows you to assign a defined curve to each dimmer. The curves available at present are as follows:

"0" linear (default)
"1" ON-OFF (0 if zero, 100 if different than 0)
"2" Defines the first channel of a 16-bit circuit (see Scanner/Moving Lights)
"3" To keep a circuit constantly at its patch level, independent from Masters and Blackouts. The only way to change this circuit is to change its curve.
"4" Snap to final position in a crossfade, it means that in a crossfade, channels with a snap curve will go immediately to the final position.
"5" Custom (look at the ProScenium profile editor software)
"6" Custom (look at the ProScenium profile editor software)

Add 10 to have a No Master effect (channels will not change following master position ), e.g. curve 14 = Snap + No Master
Add 20 to have Pure LTP (Last Take Priority)
Add 30 to have Pure LTP (Not affected by the Master)
Add 70 to have LTP that considers 0 as null (doesn't send channels if they are at 0, to send minimal value set value 1 (Not affected by the Master)

To make circuit independent from master (particularly useful with scanners and color-scrollers) a No-Master curve modifier may be used. This is obtained adding 10 at the base curve number, obtaining the following curve values:

"10" Linear + No-Master
"11" ON-OFF +No-Master
"12" First channel of a 16-bit circuit +No-Master (see Scanner/Moving Lights)
"14" Snap to final position in a crossfade, it means that in a crossfade, channels with a snap curve will go immediately to the final position.

Curve selections may be input in the patch dialog box that may be activated at any time clicking the Patch icon on the toolbar.

there is an useful profile editor that you can find in the menu Curve/Load profile editor.

You can create or recall any profile with this Bezier curve based tool. After that you have to save it in a file (normally Profile5.PRF).
After, from MPS you have to load the right profile in Profile 5 or Profile 6, and automatically, all the channels patched on curve 5 or 6 will follow the selected profile.
