Section 15: Selecting Fixtures, Modifying Parameters
Reverse, Shuffle and Reorder
You can change the selection order of fixtures in predefined ways. The Reverse, Shuffle,
and Reorder buttons are on the Select Toolbar and Fanning Toolbar:
•
Main Toolbar → Select : open the Select Toolbar.
Reverse: reverses the selection sequence, so that the last is first and the first is last. For
example, the fixture selection 1-5 becomes 5-1.
Shuffle: randomises the selection order of the current selection. For example, the fixture
selection 1-5 becomes 3 + 5 + 2 + 1 + 4.
Reorder: sorts the selection order to match the User Number order. For example, the
fixture selection 3 + 5 + 2 + 1 + 4 becomes 1-5.
Tip
The Reverse, Shuffle, and Reorder buttons can also be found on the Fanning
Toolbar, which you can open by pressing and holding the Fan key. See
Fanning (p.159).

Modifying Parameters
Once fixtures are selected within an editor, you can modify their parameters. Wholehog
OS classifies parameters into four parameter types: intensity, position, colour and beam.
There are also three special types: effect, time and control.
Wholehog consoles provide several ways to adjust the different parameter types:
• Command Line: Use for intensity and selecting palettes.
• I-Wheel: Use for intensity.
• Trackball: Use for position (pan and tilt). Use the top-right Trackball
key to switch the Trackball between controlling the on-screen pointer
and the position of selected fixtures.
• Parameter Wheels: Use for intensity, position, colour, beam, effects,
time and control. To change the parameter type currently controlled by
the parameter wheels, select one of the parameter type keys on the front
panel: Intensity, Position, Colour, Beam, Effect, Time and Control.
If the fixture has more parameters of a particular type than there are
parameter wheels you can press the parameter type keys to page through
the parameters.
• Slot Toolbar: Use for parameters that have discrete rather than continuous values (known as ‘slotted’), such as the positions of a colour wheel.
This gives you button-press control of the possible values.
