14.2 Editing using Include and Update method
Cues can be edited using INCLUDE and UPDATE. This includes the Cue data into the programmer where it can then be changed,
before it is saved back to the Cue using Update.
First, clear the Programmer, then include the required Cue back into the Programmer. Modify the required values in the Pro-
grammer and then use Update to re-record the Cue.
You can include multiple Cues into the programmer. When you press UPDATE, the last Cue that you included will be modified.
The Status Display shows which Cue was the last one to be Included.
14.3 Record Merge (Updating a Cue with the contents of the programmer)
You can quickly and easily merge the contents of the programmer into the current Cue on a Playback by holding the S button for
the playback and pressing REC. The programmer is merged into the current Cue on the Playback.
To merge into a specific Cue on a Playback, hold + and REC to select Record Merge and then type the Cue ID on the keypad
before pressing the S button for the Playback.
14.4 Making changes to multiple Cues
Changes can be made to multiple Cues using the REC MERGE and REC REMOVE record options to specify a change in the
programmer which is then merged with or removed from a number of Cues.
