Multipart cues
A multipart cue is a cue that consists of two or more parts. Each part is, in
effect, an individual cue with its own levels and upfade and downfade times. A
multipart cue allows you to simultaneously run and control up to four discrete
looks through one multipart cue. Each part may have its own fade and wait
times. A multipart cue takes up the equivalent storage space of three cues.
Track record function
Track is a record function that allows you to modify recorded cues and designate
new levels for the displayed cue only or to track them forward until a different
level is encountered.
It also allows you to quickly modify groups of cues and add channels to cues.
You can also use it to create a new cue from the previous one, by pulling all
levels forward into the Blind display of the new cue.
Track Sheet
Track Sheet displays one channel’s intensity level settings for all recorded cues.
From it, you can quickly see tracks for any individual channel
. You can then
select a cue or a group of cues from the track Sheet and modify channel levels
.
Track Sheet provides one means for tracking channels through allfade cues.
Group
The Group feature lets you store groups of channels with proportional level
settings. Group numbers are independent of cue and submaster numbering
.
Effects
The Effects feature lets you create special lighting effects such as lightning,
strobes and chases.
Subroutines
A subroutine is a cue that controls the playback of a series of recorded cues.
Subroutines are similar to linked cues, except that they have more playback
options
. Subroutines allow you to link and play back cues with modified fade
times without affecting originally programmed fade times.
Macros
A macro works like a redial button on a telephone. With it you can store a series
of keystrokes and later replay it with a simple keystroke
. Macros simplify com-
plex tasks that you perform often
. The PSC can save up to 640 macros.
