[Track] [Track] [Track] will modify tracking levels in cues in both directions in the cue list.

Step 1: Select channels using the procedure described in Select Channels, Dimmers

Light Control, page 80 .
Step 3: Press [Track] [Track] [Track] [ x ] [Enter] , where [ x ] is the cue number you want
to track from. Changes will be made to all channels that remain at the same level
from the source cue, forward and backward through the cue list, until a move,
channel block or allfade cue is encountered.
Stage Effects
Effect cues can be created in Stage or Blind (see Blind Effects, page 123 ). The advantage
of working in Stage is that you can see the look of each effect step as it is created. An effect
is made up of channels at levels in steps. Steps are played back in the effect at a given rate
and in a given direction. Typically, effects will loop their steps so that they can play
continuously. In Blind, effect steps can be randomized and can be assigned other attributes
that affect their playback.
Create an effect in Stage:
Step 1: Press [Stage] .
Step 2: Press [Cue] [ x ] [Type] [3] to set cue [ x ] to the effect type. The attribute bar will
indicate that the cue is now an effect.
Step 3: Select channels using the procedure described in Select Channels, Dimmers
and Fixtures, page 72 . You can select channels, fixtures, groups or focus points.
Step 4: Set levels using the procedure described in Set Levels, page 75 and Moving
Light Control, page 80 . If a channel references a focus point for its level, the level
will update when the focus point is changed.
Step 5: Press [Record] [Enter] . Active channels will be recorded to step 1 of the effect.
Step 6: Repeat steps 3-5, making sure that only the channels you want to include in a
step are active. Each time you press [Record] [Enter] , the next consecutive step
will be recorded.

If you want to record steps out of order, press <S7 - More Softkeys> [S8 - Step] to select
