Strand GSX 125 - Park a Dimmer?

[BrockTucker]

Hello CB,

My theater has a Strand GSX 125 console, it runs the strand genius software. It's very similar to the ETC Express line that I love so much, but I can't find a way to park a channel or dimmer when I'm programming. For example, I'd like to leave the house lights on at 30% or so, but not have it record into cues.

I've come up with some workarounds, patching the house lights to an unused channel and then patching them back after cues are written, but I'd like to know if the feature exists.

I've been through the manual, the online version is here.(pdf)

Thanks for the help.

It doesn't seem possible from the manual. Why not put the house on a sub?
