PREP commands differ from sequence commands in that they allow multiple commands on one line to help save space and allow more sequencer commands into memory.\u00a0 Sequencer commands are stored in its own script and PREP commands are stored in their own script.<\/p>\n
PREP commands are non-active commands in that you dont see any effect when they are executed.\u00a0 They are passive.\u00a0 They also do not effectively take up any time so they need no elapsed time indicator and do not need to be factored into timing.<\/p>\n
PREP commands do NOT need to be used. You could simply add more statements to the *sequencer nc.<\/p>\n
I realized that I had active commands listed in the PREP document so I am demoting those and in essence making them inactive and non-operational if you put them on a PREP command line in a *prepform nc.<\/p>\n
As a convenience the new list is presented here below as well, unfortunately uncolored.\u00a0 To see the colored version, see–>\u00a0PREP Commands demoted<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n PrepForm<\/strong> allows for multiple commands<\/strong> 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> from now on.<\/p>\n The Controller currently allows for 11 <\/strong>PREPS (PrepForms<\/strong>)<\/p>\n Multiple Commands<\/strong> are separated by commas. i.e.<\/p>\n *prepform PREPS <\/strong>can be called from AutoFX\u00a0<\/strong> AND\/OR from\u00a0Sequencer<\/strong>.
