Click the NEW button at the top of the Cue List panel to add a new Cue to the list at the
Current Time. The NEW button method works on the fly as well as with the transport
stopped.
From the keyboard:
Use the shortcut key combination [C
TRL +m]. Think “mark”.
From the Remote 48
Press STORE
Press CAPTURE
These methods will create a new Cue using the lowest number available at the time of the Cue's
creation. The Remote 48 will also allow you to store the Cue to a specific Cue number. This
means that the numbering scheme can be used to organize your Cues. For instance, all “verse
start” cues can be numbered 30-something. See Storing Cues.
Locating to a Cue
From the GUI:
Double-click on the cue number in the GUI Cue List.
From the keyboard:
Type the Cue number on the keyboard (the Number Pad is most convenient)
Press the [N UM P AD E NTER ] key - the main [E NTER ] key won’t do it.
The [+] and [-] keys on the number pad are shortcuts to move to the next Cue up or down on
the list. Note that this may not be the next cue from where the transport is currently located.
Entering a cue number on the keyboard jumps to that cue, but doesn’t reposition the highlight
on the Cue List. Therefore, the [+] and [-] key shortcut may not always jump you to where
you expect.
From the Remote 48:
Press RECALL
Enter the desired Cue number using the Remote 48 number pad.
Press ENTER. This brings the Cue time into the LOCATE TIME window.
Press LOCATE
One more reminder: Pre-Roll time is subtracted from the Cue time when locating to a Cue. If you
notice that you’ve jumped to a place ahead of where you were aiming, you probably have Pre-
Roll engaged. Check the Transport menu or the LED indicator above the PRE-ROLL button on
the Remote 48 or Remote 24. See Pre Roll for details.
Cue Parameters
Each Cue has a Number , a Time, and a Name. Names are not settable, nor are they used from
the Remote 48. In the GUI the Cue List is displayed chronologically, while on the Remote 48 the
list is organized numerically. Even if you are using the Remote 48, read Cues in the GUI for
many details about Cue parameters.
