I am designing a show at the moment, and have been using PixelMAD v2. Here are a few ideas for features.... ( or maybe there are already there, and I missed them ). We are using an Obsession 2 to trigger PixelMAD which is outputting to about 300 meters of VersaTube.

1) It would be really useful to copy the setting of one layer to another. We have found a few times we want to move what we are doing on one layer onto anther layer while creating and editing presets.

2) It would be great to be able to run a preset ( from PixelMAD, not the console ) without using the timing. For example we have a preset with fades of 60 seconds, but we are jumping back to run a sequence again. Currently to go back we have to run the preset and wait the 60 seconds for it to complete before we can move on. This could be an option in the preset menu to snap/instantly load preset.

3) It would be useful to save and load preset files in much the same way as you do for standard Macintosh files.

4) It would be useful to be able to record in a preset which mix window a layer is outputting to.

Thats all for now,
