Recall a Preset on Biamp Tesira Server #7

Open mehrenheim opened 3 months ago

mehrenheim commented 3 months ago

Hi all,

desparately trying to recall Presets and can´t get it to work. Using Biamps String calculator e.g. gives me: DEVICE recallPreset 1001

Does "DEVICE" need to be replaced by the Prest Buttons Name or Instance ID? Anything i am missing?

Any help or hints much apprciated

Hi Mehrenheim, I'm an end user - not a developer, I'm currently using v.3.2.0 of Companion it sounds like perhaps you are trying to use the custom action to recall a preset?

the command from the string calculator should work in custom commands, but there is an action for recalling presets built into the module;

Select the desired button in Companion, choose a press / release action

then select whatever the Tesira Server connection is named as (in my case - "tesira")

Connection Name

& Recall Preset - eg. "tesira: RecallPreset"

then enter the preset number - eg. 1001 (or in my example below 1014)

hope that works for you

I have found the custom commands useful for activating (true) / deactivating (false) matrix crosspoints, and activating / bypassing delays, this is where the string calculator comes in

otherwise it is mostly knowing what your Tesira "Instance Tags" are don't want to be teaching you to suck eggs, but it wasn't obvious to me at first, "instance tags" are the names of the blocks within your Tesira - when you select a block in the Tesira software, you should see the "instance tag" at the bottom left (eg. "ControlMixer" below is the block referenced in the second of my custom commands in the other screenshot)
