editing a preset scene or a chase step. With the console in Edit
mode, pressing the Cue Stack SELECT button allows the "now" scene to
be edited, with the changes appearing on stage as they are made if the
Cue Stack MASTER is up.
Edits cannot be performed while a crossfade is in progress.
Previewing Cue Stack Scenes
When the console is in Run mode, the "next" scene in the cue stack can
be previewed on the channel LEDs above the X-scene faders by simply
pressing the Cue Stack SELECT button. The Select LED turns on while
this is being done, and the main display screen reads
PREVIEW
SCENE X
where "X" is the scene number. This is a useful feature for seeing
which scene is coming up next when the Cue Plus display is not showing
the Control screen. After a few seconds, the preview turns off
automatically.
Previewing a scene has no effect on the output or memory of the board,
so it will not disrupt any show that is in progress or in memory.
Cue Stack Sequential Crossfade Times
The third option on the Cue Stack menu allows the selection of
crossfade times between scenes for when the Link Mode is set to
Sequential. (When the Link Mode is set to Scripted, this page has no
bearing on crossfade times. Scripted fade times are accessed through
the Script menu, outlined on page [27].) By selecting "Seq Times" and
pressing the right SCROLL button, the display presents a list of all
the scenes and the accompanying crossfade times. Only three of the
scenes can fit on the display at once, and the middle scene is the one
which can be edited. The cursor selects either the scene number for
editing, or its crossfade time. The scene number can be chosen either
by incrementing or decrementing with the UP and DOWN buttons, or by
typing it in directly with the keypad, then hitting YES or one of the
cursor keys.
The crossfade times can be entered in the same way. Times are listed
in minutes and seconds. It is not necessary to enter a colon to
separate minutes from seconds; to enter a crossfade time of 1 minute
and 15 seconds, for example, simply type "115" then hit YES. If only
one or two digits are entered, this is assumed to be the seconds
value. Again, large two-digit values are converted to minutes and
seconds. For instance, typing 82 then hitting YES enters a time of
1:22, or one minute, 22 seconds.
Hint: To enter a long random list of crossfade times, use the
CURSOR buttons rather than the YES key to store the typed values.
