Rate
As mentioned above, cue timing is irrelevant when a Playlist is a chase. Each
cue is now a step in the chase and a beat clock will advance from one step to the
next automatically without the need for setting the Follow properties in each cue.
Rate
- The rate is measured in Beats Per Minute (BPM). So, if the chase is running
at 60 BPM, each second will advance to a new step. Adjust the rate in real time or
touch the control and type in a specific rate.
Tap Sync
- If you’re synchronizing to music and you can hear the beat, tap this
button in time to adjust the rate. The rate will be updated after three taps and will
show in the Rate bubble.
Multipliers - The bottom row of four buttons multiplies the Rate. This is useful
when busking a show to give a different feel to an underlying look by doubling or
halving the base time. When you touch these buttons, the Rate value shown does
not change. Only one of these can be down at a time and to go back to the
prescribed rate, press any active button to deactivate the multipliers.
Chase Direction and Options
This screen can adjust (in real time) how the chase is played back and may
be a good screen to stay on when busking a show. You can build the chase steps
in any order but alter how they hit the stage using this screen.
