 Cue Only. The entire cue-list does not track. The next cue replaces the previous cue.
When a cue is played back, its recorded attribute values are applied to the output and
any attributes from the previous cue that are not present in the current cue will be
released from the playback.
For example:
Cue 1 = intensity to 100% and colour to green.
Cue 2 = Colour to red.
When you transition from cue 1 to cue 2, the intensity attributes will be released.
Activate (fade in) time.
Default time = 0 seconds. This is the time taken for a Cue-list to fade in when the first cue is
played. Normally this would be left at 0, and the affected fixtures in cue 1 would fade in over
their programmed time for that cue. However, you can enter an activate time to scale the fade
in over time. This is most useful with chases or when cues are set to automatically follow each
other. For example:
If you had a fast chase that moved between the 4 corners of the stage you may not want the
fixtures to jump to the full extent of the first corner in the time of the first chase step, but for
the 4 corners to gradually enlarge, like a spiral, over several chase steps. If the chase rate is
set to 120 BPM, each step takes 0.5 seconds, so the fixtures would go from default to the full
extent of the first corner in 0.5 seconds and then continue from corner to corner. If you set the
activate time to 2 seconds, the fixtures would go 25% of the way to the first corner, 50% of
the way to the second corner, 75% to the third and then 100% to the fourth.
Release (fade out) time.
Default time = 2 seconds. This the time taken for the Cue-list to fade out when released from a
Playback.
The Activate and Release settings can both be altered by either entering a value in their
respective boxes or by moving their wheel which provides smooth variable control.
Playback Rate.
Proportionally changes all of the timing information in a cue-list. By default it is set to 100%.
The range is 1 to 1000.
For Example: If Rate is set to 50% it slows all of the fades (all times are doubled). 100% = no
change to rates.
The Rate % can be altered by either entering a value in its box, clicking the up and down
arrows or by clicking and moving the “spin box” roller which provides smooth variable control.
The Playback Rate setting can both be altered by either entering a value in the box, clicking the
up and down arrows or by moving the wheel which provides smooth variable control.
HTP intensities (check box).
If the intensity value for a fixture is contained in several active cue-lists and HTP (Highest
Takes Precedence) is ticked, the intensity will come from the play back with the highest
intensity level. The default setting (HTP not ticked) is known as LTP (Latest Takes Precedence).
In LTP mode, the latest cue to be played back will take control of the intensity.
