Hi satanete666,

unfortunately there is actually no command to recall a preset from the Widget.

Hi!

I will set it on the list, but I cannot promise when this will be implemented.

Hi satanete666,
at now, since the preset recall is not possible directly from WD, I think you could try to use the MIDI protocol from WD to manager/master activating the MIDI input in configuration. You need a MIDI interface installed on each PCs so you can redirect your MIDI note on message from WD to master. If you have only one PC for WD and PB master you can do it with only one MIDI interface.
On MIDI channel 1 to 9 you can trig presets and on channel 10 you can control the timeline.
I hope it helps..
Regards

Hey guys!

Good news for you.
Within the next Version, you will find a new command to recall all presets from the Widget.

Stay tuned!

Can I make a request to make it based on selection as well. Not just device direct.

Hi Cameron,

this is the syntax, so yes, it will be selectable:
DeviceSetPreset,SiteID,DeviceID,PresetID1,PresetID2

Hey Marcus,

I would also like one that says :
DevicesSetPresetInSelection,PresetID1,PresetID2 ( or something along those lines)


This way I can apply the preset to multiple layers at one time based upon a group selection.

Hi!

Now I see... Sorry, but I didn't get it directly.
I will set it on the list.

Cheers

Yea this would be a MASSIVE time saver. Especially for simple cross fades and quick programming.

Thanks Marcus.

Hi Guys,

Sorry to hijack your thread.

Thanks for implementing this new line of code.
I am however having trouble getting it to trigger correctly and there is no other documentation I can find about this part.

I am trying to recall a PRS preset (3.1) to reset the location of layer 11 on server with site ID2.

This is the coding I am using;

DeviceSetPreset,2,11,3.1

What is the second preset location for in the command string? DeviceSetPreset,SiteID,DeviceID,PresetID1,PresetID2

I know I am missing something rather obvious here :(

Also what workflow would allow me to make this transition of position/scale perimeters happen over a specified time value? Ie press a custom scirpt button to recall position/scale preset and the movement form current value to new location happen over 3 seconds. I know I can use the timeline and preset values but if I can do this via WD Pro and not have anything on the timeline that would be great!

I am also looking to update the position preset from widget desginer itself. ie have faders controlling position/scale of a layer and once happy with the new position/scalel update a the preset with the new perimeters.

Cheers,

Ben

Try

DeviceSetPreset,2,11,3,1

PresetID1 is the type of preset
PresetID2 is the Preset No
