Working With Cues 113
Release Dimmers First
(default Off)
When enabled, intensity values will fade out in the specified
default time first, and then all other attributes will follow once the
intensity has reached zero, again in the specified default time.
Default Button Behavior This selection area allows for the toggling of two different settings,
“Pause/Back,” “Release” and “Flash.” This setting pertains to the
behavior of the button located directly below the playback “Go”
button.
Pause/Back:
(default)
When pressed while a cue is running, the
cuelist will pause any fade in progress. To
resume the fade from where it left off, press
Go again. When pressed while paused or
when a cue is not running, it will execute the
previous cue. The time used to return to that
cue is the timing set for the cue you are
returning to.
Flash: When configured as a Flash button,
pressing this button will drive the current
cue in the associated cuelist to full,
regardless of the position of the fader.
Flash with
“DOWN -> GO”
When “DOWN->GO” is selected, pressing
the default button down will advance to the
next cue in the cuelist and drive that cue to
full, regardless of the position of the fader.
Flash with
“UP->RELEASE”
When “UP->RELEASE” is selected,
pressing the default button down will drive
the current cue to full, regardless of the
position of the fader and will then Release
the cuelist as you release the button (and it
goes up ).
Default Fader Behavior In the current release of software, the only thing that will be
affected by the fader (except in an Override cuelist) is the
intensity level. However, how this can be modified.
“UP -> GO” When selected, the next cue in the cuelist
will be executed following the time set in
that cue every time the fader moves from
zero to 1% or higher.
“DOWN ->
RELEASE”
When selected, the cuelist will be released
following the release time that is set
whenever the fader reaches zero.
“Action of GO When Running” is fairly self-explanatory and, as only the default setting is
allowed at this time, there will be no further discussion of it in this version of the manual.
Unblock Cuelist As mentioned earlier, the Maxxyz is a LTP console. It is expected
that an attributes value will track from cue to cue until it is
specifically given a new value. However, it is possible to
inadvertently “block” that tracking action. For example, if in cue 1
you have fixture 1 at full and you then copy a cue from a different
cuelist that also has fixture 1 at full and you then record that as
cue 2, fixture 1 will have a “hard” (non-tracked) value of full in
both cue 1 and 2. This means that a change to the intensity of
fixture 1 in cue 1 would not track through cue 2. Pressing the
“Unblock Cuelist” button removes those blocks.
