Jumping to a cue (Go To cue)
To jump to a specific cue, simply scroll to in on the
touchscreen and touch it so it’s selected in yellow and then
press the Playback’s Go button.
Snapping to a cue (Ignoring fade times)
To snap to a cue (for example, during a programming
session when you want to alter a cue without having to
wait for the cue fade to complete), hold Shift whilst
pressing the Go button. This will snap to the cue, rather
than using the fade times. Doing this also won’t allow Auto
Triggers to work (useful to jump to a cue without
automatically moving onto the next cue).
(If this doesn’t work,
settings within the Playback Setup window must have changed
– see
page 17 for more information).
Using the pause key
If at any time you wish to pause a cue while it is running,
you can use the pause function. Pause is an option that
can be chosen within the Playback Setup window (see
page 17 or more info). Often, users will set Pause to be the
“shifted” function of the playback button, which can be set
as a default option so you don’t need to change every
playback
– see page 38 for more info.
After the initial press of the Pause button, subsequent
“Pauses” will step backwards through the playback using
the current cue fade times.
To continue running the playback, press the Go key.
Releasing playbacks
Once you have finished playing back cues it is important to
release the playback. This stops the playback having any
further control over the channels. When you lower a fader,
the playback is automatically released, but you can also
manually do this by holding Clear and pressing
the Go button of the playback.
To release all the playbacks, hold Clear and press
the Fader Funct. button. This will release the MFFs (not
Playback 0). To release Playback 0, hold Clear and press
the Go button of the Master Playback.
Macros
FLX S supports
“Fixture Macros” which are used for fixture
settings such as “Lamp On” or “Reset”. Which Macros are
available depend on the fixtures patched.
Macro Window
The Macro window is displayed on the internal display
when the
Macro
tab is pressed along the top of the touch
screen. This will only be shown if Macros are available for
the currently selected fixtures. Macros can be selected
directly within this window.
Automatic fixture macros
The FLX S can generate a number of Fixture Macros
based upon the fixture types patched. To create the
automatic macros, view the Macros window (by pressing
Macro
) and choose
Automatically create macros
.
Macros window after “Automatically create macros” has been selected.
