Conductors

In the conductor panels, you can memorize Grid scenes and recall them manually or according to a precise Time Code.

In Usine there are two conductor windows:

  • Normal: to set, modify, delete scenes.
  • Lite: a simplified version more suitable for a stage utilization.

To open the conductor windows, there is two ways:

  1. Use the menu windows/conductor,
  2. Or the shortcuts ctrl+F7 and ctrl+F8.

Don’t forget, that Usine is a modular Host. So, you can use also the module Conductor in a patch.

Normal window

Store, recall, and manage the scene list. Set a SMPTE code for complete automation and a transition time between scenes. The conductor can store 8 different banks and each bank can contain an unlimited number of scenes.
