RSD's ABEdit Software - Show Control Window

The Show Control window is where the show is actually operated and monitored. MIDI Show Control commands are sent to the AudioBox and the show's progress is monitored in this window.

Details about the show are given in the top left column: Show name and number, total number of lists and paths, specific number of list, path, cue number, etc.

In this particular show, the list clock zeros when each cue is fired. The sequence clock begins when the list opens. The cabinet on the right of each column is an indication of what commands can be sent to the box. In this case, if the cabinet icon on the right is clicked, a CLOSE CUE LIST command will get sent to the AudioBox. Likewise, in the right column a CLOSE CUE LIST or an OPEN CUE LIST command can get sent.

The F12 on the keyboard is the GO CUE command which will fire the StandBy cue. In this case, Cue 10 has just gone and Cue 10.1 is in StandBy awaiting a GO command.

The "Play" button makes the StandBy cue Go. The left and right arrow buttons will change the StandBy cue to the previous or next cue in the sequence.

The Stop and Play button will stop and start the list and sequence clock. The zero will zero only the list clock.

When a change has been made in the Show Editor window, "Show Requires Refresh" will flash to the right of these icons. The refresh button will update any changes in the show by re-sending the show to the AudioBox.

If the MIDI-MIDI button is selected, any incoming MIDI data from the MIDI IN port of the AudioBox will merge with the internal MIDI data in the AudioBox and pass through to the MIDI OUT port of the AudioBox. If this button is not selected, only the internal AudioBox processes will receive the messages from the MIDI IN port.

If the SCSI-MIDI button is selected, any incoming data from the SCSI port of the AudioBox will merge with the internal MIDI data in the AudioBox and pass through to the MIDI OUT port of the AudioBox. If this button is not selected, only the internal AudioBox processes will receive the messages from the SCSI port.
