Cue Playback 353
In Live
To load a new cue to the pending file of the playback fader, press [Cue] [#] [Load]. When the
[Go] button is pressed, the activated cue will be the selected cue.
Example:
Assume you have cue list 1 already loaded to the master playback faders. Now you
want to load cue 2/1 to a fader.
•
[Cue] [2] [/] [1] [Load]
If you press the [Load] button above the master playback fader, it will load cue 2/1
into the pending file. You could also press the [Load] button above any other
playback fader to load the cue into that fader’s pending file.
In this example, the last cue executed from cue list 1 is still the active cue, while cue
2/1 is pending. When [Go] is pressed, 2/1 will be executed.
You can also load cue list 2 by pressing [Cue] [2] [/] [Load]. This will load the first cue
of list 2 into pending.
The selected cue is changed by go, record, or update instructions as well as cue modification
and selecting a cue on the command line. When you execute a cue that has a follow or hang
time, the next cue will become the selected cue when activated.
In Blind
While in Blind, changing the selected cue will change the playback status display to show
information surrounding that cue.
CAUTION:
When editing in blind, changes to cues are automatically stored,
therefore no update or record command is required.
While working in blind mode, cues can be executed in live using [Go], [Stop/Back], and [Go to
Cue], but this does not change the cue you are working with in blind.
Loading a Cue With Temporary Time
A cue can be loaded with a temporary time.
•
[Cue] [3] [Time] [6] [Load] - loads cue 3 with the manual time of 6.
Note:
For multipart cues, the temporary time will be applied to the entire cue, not
just the part on the command line. For cues with discrete timing, its parameters will
use the temporary time instead of the assigned discrete timing.
Out-of-Sequence Cues
An out-of-sequence cue is any cue that is played back in one of the following ways:
•
Cue is executed using a [Go To Cue] command. ( Go To Cue (on the next page) )
•
Cue is executed by a link instruction. ( Link / Loop (on page 304) )
•
Cue is loaded into a fader’s pending file. ( Selected Cue (on the previous page) )
•
Cue is re-executed using {Assert} & [Load] or is asserted from the command line. ( Using
Assert (Playback Button) (on page 360) )
Generally, when an out-of-sequence cue is executed, the entire contents of the cue will be
played back (move instructions and tracked values).
