Moving Light Cue Playback
Whether your Moving Light show consists of one cue assigned to one playback or
many cues assigned to many playbacks, you use the same basic procedure to run
the show. This procedure is called playback and is described in this chapter.
The LP-3000 provides three ways to play back a Moving Light show:
•
Cuelists: A cuelist is a series of steps assigned to the same page and
playback. Each step in a cuelist has default start delay and fade times and
an infinite hold time. These can be adjusted from the Options screen. You
usually play back each step in the cue by pressing the Select button for the
playback. Alternatively, you can program the cuelist to play back
automatically by setting the hold time, start delay and fade time for each
step in the cuelist.
•
Chases: A chase is also a series of steps assigned to the same page and
playback. A chase automatically executes its steps at a fixed rate
(expressed in beats per minute), looping continuously until the playback is
returned to the zero level position. When you convert a cuelist to a chase,
default or programmed start delay, fade and hold times are ignored.
•
Stacks: A stack has characteristics of both a cuelist and a chase. You play
back a stack by pressing the Select button to move from step to step—just
as you would with a cuelist. However, a stack loops back to Step 1—just like
a chase—so that it can be played back as many times as desired. When you
convert a cuelist to a stack, default or programmed start delay, fade and
hold times are ignored. Special moving light stack defaults—available from
the Options screen—are available for setting the desired start delay and
fade times.
Cue and Cuelist Playback
In Chapter Eight: Moving Light Cue Programming, we describe the basic
techniques used when programming a single cue or a series of cues (cuelist).
While you program, you will undoubtedly test each cue to ensure that you have
achieved the look you desired. After you have programmed several cues or cuelists,
you may want to test them as a series of events. Finally, you are ready to rehearse
or run your show. No matter which stage you are in, you use the same procedure to
play back your cues and cuelists.
