Cue Playback 361
•
[Effect] [2] [Fader Controls] {Freeze} [Enter] - to freeze effect 2. Freezing a specific
effect is different from stopping an effect. Freeze will stop the effect exactly where it is.
•
[Effect] [6] [Thru] [9] [Fader Controls] {Freeze} [Enter] - to freeze a specified range of
effects.
When an effect is in freeze mode, you can use the same command to unfreeze:
•
[Effect] [2] [Fader Controls] {Freeze} [Enter]
•
[Effect] [6] [Thru] [9] [Fader Controls] {Freeze} [Enter]
Using Stop Effect
The [Fader Control] {Stop Effect} button can be used to stop all effects from operating on any
or all faders, or it may be used with the control keypad to stop a specific effect.
•
To stop all effects on a fader, press [Fader Control] {Stop Effect} & [Load] of the
associated fader.
•
To stop a specific effect regardless of the fader it is operating on, press [Fader Control]
{Stop Effect} [2] [Enter].
•
To stop an effect on a specific channel, press [5] [Fader Control] {Stop Effect} [Enter].
When an effect is stopped, all impact of the effect is removed and the stage output is as
though the effect has never been activated. This behavior is influenced by the exit behavior of
the effect. See
Exit (on page 376)
Using Rate Override
To collect a playback fader for rate control, press [Fader Control] {Rate} & [Load] for the
required fader. When [Fader Control] {Rate} is pressed without [Load], it always collects the
master fader for rate control. A subset of faders can be collected by pressing and holding
[Fader Control] {Rate} while pressing the [Load] button for the associated faders you would
like to add.
Use the rate wheel to adjust the rate dynamically. The default is 100%, which is real time
(example: 5 seconds = 5 seconds). Decrease the percentage to slow the cue down. Setting the
rate to 0% will stop the cue. Increase the percentage to speed up the event.
Following are some examples of rate:
•
A 50% decrease rate applied to a 5 second event will play the cue in 10 seconds.
•
A 200% increase rate applied to a 5 second event will play the cue in 2.5 seconds.
The top rate adjustment is 2000%. All timing values associated with a cue (including any
follow or hang times) are affected by the rate modification proportionally.
If a cue is complete, any rate adjustment applied affects the cue in the pending file. When that
cue is subsequently activated, the adjusted rate is used to direct timing. Pressing [Fader
Control] {Rate} again will turn rate control off and reset to 100%.
Using Manual Control
There are four types of manual control for playbacks:
•
Cues can be stored with manual timing. When cues have stored manual timing, the
default behavior of the fader is to control those manual values.
•
Cues can be captured for manual intensity control only. This is possible only when the
associated cue has no manual timing values.
•
Cues can be manually overridden using the {Man Override} & [Load] feature which
captures all parameter transitions.
