CUEMASTER II OPERATION
7
D SHOW FADE LED
flashes while a timed Show cue cross-fade is in progress.
LATCH KEY
allows changing the Scenemaster Flash keys from the normal Momentary Flash mode to a touch on-touch off mode,
either Solo (the latest key pressed cancels all others), or Latch (push on-push off latch).
SCENES LATCH LED
indicates the state of the Scenemaster Flash keys. Off represents normal Momentary Flash mode, Green
shows Scenes Solo is on, Red shows Scenes Latch mode is on. Latched Scenemasters levels are controlled by the Scenes Master
fader.
CHANNELS LATCH LED
indicates the state of the Channel Flash keys. Off represents normal instant flash to Full Momentary mode,
Yellow shows that the preset Flash keys are in push on-push off Latch mode. Channels Latch mode can be turned on and off by
holding the Latch key, and then touching the Channels Master Flash key. Channels Latch can be set independently of Scenes Latch
mode. Latched channels are controlled by the Grand Master fader.
E SCENE FADE MASTER
defines the fade time of all recorded Fade-Scenes, and all Show cues. The time scale extends from 0.5
second to 60 minutes, and includes an instant setting. Manual scenes and Chases are not affected by the fade timer.
HOLD KEY
freezes the current fade while pressed. With Record, Hold enables the setting of the Scene Fade master to be recorded
onto Fade-Scenes or designated cues of a Show for automatic fades. Hold key is also used to cancel a printout.
AUTO FADE
setting of the Fade Time master enables Fade-Scenes or cues of a Show to load their pre-recorded fade times and then
execute the fades automatically.
F SPEED MASTER
controls the speed at which cues of a Show are stepped, from 10 per second (600 beats per minute) to one step
every 10 seconds (6 beats per minute). Chases are initially recorded with a default speed of 288 beats per minute (0.25 second). This
speed setting can be edited in any Chase, so that every Chase can play back at its own pre-recorded speed.
STEP MODE
setting of the Speed Fader is used for single stepping through the cues of a Show.
CUE GO KEY
steps forward through the cues of the current Show if the Speed fader is set at Step Mode, and stops Show auto step if
the Speed fader is up. With Record, this key allows recording of automatic Chase speeds, and Chase Beat.
STEP LED
blinks to mimic the step rate of the Speed Master, as well as indicating cue steps from the Cue Go key.
G GRAND MASTER FADER
controls the entire output of the desk. If set at zero, all lighting will be blacked out. The normal setting for
this master is at Full.
DBO KEY
gives a dead blackout onstage (DBO) when pressed. With Record, this key enables or disables all Flash modes.
FLASH DISABLE LED
lights to indicate Flash modes are disabled.
