[QUOTE="Simon Eves, post: 141248, member: 4463"] Re: Musical Theatre Mute/DCA Automation "Granularity"? Yep. Here it is, if anyone wants to adapt it to their own needs... [URL]http://eves.us/public/X32Snippets.py[/URL] You will need the pyexcel-ods Python module (on Mac, "sudo easy_install pip" then "pip install pyexcel-ods"), but it would be trivial to adapt it to use other spreadsheet-reading modules. Here's an example of a spreadsheet it reads (OpenOffice .ods format)... [URL]http://eves.us/public/micplot_003_collapsed.ods[/URL] ...which was a "collapsed" (as the filename says) version of this one, containing all the entrances and exits (I had originally intended to automate mutes)... [URL]http://eves.us/public/micplot_002.ods[/URL] Here's an example of the Snippet files it spits out... [URL]http://eves.us/public/ITH.013.snp[/URL] Mute-ons for channels not in DCAs, then DCA assignments, then mute-offs for channels in DCAs, then DCA labels and colors. Then you just bulk-import them on the board (select Snippet slot 0 first) and put it in Snippets automation mode (as opposed to Cues or Scenes). Just remember that you can only have 100 (why, Behringer, why?!) I tried generating a Show File as well and running in Cues mode, but then it bundles up the Scene file too, and I didn't want that. With Snippets only, the rest of the board setup is completely separate and isolated so you don't need to worry about safe-ing stuff. The Snippets touch the specified channel mutes and DCAs only. I wish I'd tried this years ago (well, not that I could have before I got my X32...) [/QUOTE]
