About Cue Playback
Cues may be played back using the master playback fader pair or by using a playback fader.
While any cue list can be loaded to these faders, the first cue list you record to will
automatically load to the master fader pair.
The master playback fader pair is located to the left of the control keypad. The master is a split
cross-fader pair. The two buttons beneath the master fader pair are [Go] and [Stop/ Back]. The
[Load] button is located directly above the fader pair and the area of the LCD above it
corresponds as well, displaying the current cue and list active on the master fader.
To use playback faders, you can either use a fader wing or the virtual faders . See
Fader
Configuration (on page 125)
for more information about configuring your faders.
Fader Display and Ribbon
The fader display is located on the bottom of the PSD, and the fader ribbon is located directly
above the faders. Both areas provide information about each fader including the fader
designation (S = submaster with the designation of the submaster number, L = playback with
designation of the cue list and cue number that is loaded, GM = grandmaster, PR = preset with
designation of the preset number, and IP, FP, BP, CP = palettes with designation of the palette
number).
Each area uses the fader color coding that is used in the fader configuration tools.
Grandmasters and inhibitive submasters are in red, additive submasters are yellow, playback
faders display in green, and presets and palettes are orange.

Playback Controls
It is important to familiarize yourself with the playback controls and their locations on your
console.
see the Ion Classic Overview (on page 66) for more information.
Selected Cue
When in Live or Blind, if you press [Live] or [Blind] respectively, the selected cue will be the last
executed cue. This cue will appear on the command line.
When working in Live, the selected cue is always the last cue you recorded, edited, updated or
played back. When entering Blind for cues, the selected cue will be selected and displayed.
Changing the selected cue in Blind will cause the playback status display to change as well,
unless
preserve blind cue has been enabled in Setup, which will not synchronize the Blind
display to the currently selected cue but rather shows the last cue selected in Blind. When you
return to Live, the selected cue is synchronized to the currently active cue.
The attributes of the selected cue (such as timing, attributes, label and external links) are
shown at the bottom of the Live / Blind display.
