PrepForm<\/strong> allows for multiple commands<\/strong> <\/span>to be entered on the same line and called up later by entering a single number.\u00a0 It used to be\u00a0 a way to PREPare<\/strong> for FORMation<\/strong> moves but it is also a way to PREPare<\/strong> for Animations and Canons and more.\u00a0 So we will refer to it as just PREP<\/strong> <\/span>from now on.<\/p>\n

The Controller currently allows for 11<\/span> <\/strong>PREPS (PrepForms<\/strong>)<\/p>\n

Multiple Commands<\/strong><\/span> are separated by commas.
\nThe one exception would be vectors for the Color<\/strong> command. Commands with parameters use ‘%<\/strong><\/span>‘ as a separator for the parameters.<\/p>\n

i.e.<\/p>\n

*prepform
\n1,Alternate,SendX,Turn%<\/span>Left<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

PREPS<\/span> <\/strong>can be called from AutoFX\u00a0<\/strong> AND\/OR from\u00a0Sequencer<\/strong>.
\ni.e.<\/p>\n

HUD using *autofx<\/strong><\/span>
\n1,SD=PREPFORM<\/span>,<\/span>1 — an exception where we use a comma instead of a percent-sign (%<\/span>)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sequencer using *sequence<\/span><\/strong>

*************
\n1 – GROUPING<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grouping<\/strong> ONLY applies to\u00a0\u00a0TURNS\u00a0<\/strong>and
\nFORMATIONS. So, yes, a formation CAN apply to just half of the dancers, which can lead to some very interesting and unique hybrid formations.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

1,Half<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span> \u00a0 << sets Grouping to half left, half right….i.e.
\nX=jklm
\nY=nopqr\u00a0 when 9 dancers<\/p>\n

1,Alternate<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 << sets Grouping to every other i.e
\nX=jlnpr
\nY=kmoq\u00a0 \u00a0when 9 dancers<\/p>\n

1,No_Grouping
\n<\/strong>1,SendX
\n<\/strong>1,SendY

Sends<\/strong> specify WHICH<\/strong> group (X,Y<\/strong> or both(Z<\/strong>)) will receive subsequent TURNS, Canons w\/turns<\/strong>,\u00a0Formations, & June<\/strong>\u00a0commands<\/p>\n
