Using [Go]
The [Go] button is used to execute the cue currently in the pending file of the associated
fader. When [Go] is pressed, all parameters assume their required positions in the recorded
times, unless they have been recorded with manual timing. When a cue has manual timing
values stored with it, the fader will set itself to zero when [Go] is pressed, or you may set the
fader to zero before you press [Go].
If a channel parameter is in a transition state when a new cue is activated on the same
playback fader, that parameter will continue its initial instruction in its remaining time unless it
receives a new move instruction in the incoming cue. If a new instruction is provided, the
parameter will calculate its new target and the time to get there for a seamless course
adjustment. If a parameter in transition has no new instruction in the incoming cue, it will
continue its fade, using the original timing provided.
If a channel parameter is in a transition state when a new cue is activated on a different
playback fader, and that parameter receives a move instruction, even if it is exactly the same
instruction the parameter currently has, it will recalculate the destination and arrival time
according to the information from the new cue.
