5.1.4 Playback Options

Playback Options

The “Settings“ key must be pressed (dark background).

If you press the “Auto start“ key (background dark gray), the Sequence or Chaser will be automatically started
when pushing the Master Fader upwards (item 6).

If the “Auto stop“ key is pressed (dark gray background), the sequence or Chaser will automatically be switched off

when pushing the master fader downwards to the lower stop.

„Auto start“ is active (dark background) and „Auto Stop“ is not active, the fader gets the function „Auto On“,

this means that when the fader is moved up wards from 0-position, simultanously the function „On“ is activated

and the sequence is reactivated.

If the “Auto Fix“ key is pressed (dark background) and the Sequence or Chaser is started, this Executor will be

locked to that position when switching the Executor pages and will

only be released when it is switched

off

. If an Executor is stored at that position on another page, this Executor will appear and can be used again only

after switching the locked Executor off.

If the “Swop Protected” key is pressed, the Dimmers of this Sequence will not be switched off, when

another

Sequence is called up using Swop.
If the TRACKING key is pressed (dark background), the Sequence will be executed in Tracking mode. If the key is
not pressed, the Sequence will be executed in Non Tracking mode.
The

TRACKING

mode is normally used for

theatre applications

Values that were played back in a Cue, remain unchanged for each susequent Cue, until they are modified or
overwritten by a later Cue (LTP principle). Therefore, you do not have to program values which do not change into
later cues.
Example: At the beginning of a Sequence, Dimmer channels are set to 80%. Let’s assume that the setting is to be
used for several cues. As long as the channels are not modified, they will remain at 80%. When working with this
Sequence, you may recognize, however, that the channel setting should only be at 70%. Now, you only have to
change this channel setting

once

; all subsequent Cues will automatically be “modified” to 70%.

Example: Cue 10 is made up of the changes programed in cue 10 as well all the changes in cues1 thru 9 with the
later values taking presedence over the earlier values - Latest Takes Presedence (LTP)
In

NON TRACKING

mode values will return to their defaults unless they are specifcally given a value in that cue.

Example: Cue 10 is made up of only the information in Cue 10. Modications to earlier cues will have no effect on
later cues. Essentially cues no longer have a relationship between each other.

Key A/B or Split Xfade:

If the “Split Xfade” key is pressed (displayed in dark), this function is active (

item

Changing Faders, Fader XF A and XF B).

Key Normal trigger

If the „Normal Trigger“ key is pressed, this Sequence/Chaser will be execute with the

programmed triggers calls. Pressing this key, it will switch to „Trigger is GO“, where after the Sequence/Chaser can
only be controlled by the GO button and will ignore Follow, Sound and trigger times.

LTP Dimmers

key pressed: When playing back this sequence, dimmer channels programmed into this sequence

will override all other (LTP Dimmer) instances of these channels being played back, regardless of level. They will
