With system set to Tracking
• [Record] <Cue> [5] [Cue Only] [Enter] - records cue 5. New values or changes will not track
into the subsequent cue.
• [-] {Color} [Record] <Cue> [5] [Cue Only] [Enter] - as above the recorded data will not track
forward and all color data is excluded from the record operation. Any color data in the previous
cue will track in.
• [-] [5] [Record] <Cue> [6] [Cue Only] [Enter] - records the specified cue, except the
contributions from channel 5. The stored data will not track forward in the list.
Using Trace
{Trace} works just like Tracking mode, except it allows changes to be tracked backwards though
the cue list, until it sees a move instruction. In the example below, the channel levels have been
adjusted while cue 3 is live on stage. Using Trace will take those adjusted levels and update them
into the cues as follows: channel 1's new level is recorded into cue 2, channel 2's level is recorded
into cue 1, and channel 3's level is recorded into cue 3. This is because the move instruction for
those channels are contained in those cues. In the case of channels 1 and 2, their new level will
track into cue 3.Using [Record] <Cue> [3] {Trace} [Enter] would affect the cue list as shown below
in bold.
To force that channel’s new value to go backward in the cue list, {Trace} {Trace} can be used.
For information on using [Update] and {Trace}, See “Using Trace” on page 121.
In Cue Only Mode
When you create a new cue, any channel parameter data from the previous cue is tracked into the
new cue. The [Cue Only/Track] key can be used as an applied exception to the cue only/track
system setting.
With system set to “Cue Only”
• [Record] <Cue> [5] [Track] [Enter] - records cue 5. This data will track forward in the list until
the next move instruction or block.
• [-] [5] {Color} [Record] <Cue> [6] [Track] [Enter] - records the specified cue, except the
color data from channel 5. The data will track forward in the list until the next move instruction
or block.
N o t e : In the following examples, the commands [Track] indicate the same key hit of
[Cue Only/Track] which is a single button on the keypad. The system setting
determines the actual context of the button depending on the mode the system is
operating.
For clarity, only the contextual function of the button is used in the examples.
