Outputting Cues
To play back the cues in a cue stack in sequence:
Raise the stack master fader to full. Press the GO button for the
selected playback.
To output the next cue in the cue stack, simply press the GO button
again.
To output a specific cue in the cue stack, use the cursor keys to
select the next cue in the
Cue Stack Window
(indicated with the
yellow highlight bar), then press the GO button or enter the
following command: S/C ENTER.
Other commands to trigger a specific cue are as follows:
CUE N GO triggers cue N on the stack associated with the local GO
button pressed.
CUE N MASTER GO triggers cue N on the selected stack(s) and so
can be used to trigger off multiple cues if you select multiple stacks
(using SHIFT and the SELECT keys).
To snap to the next cue in the cue stack (ie ignore all timing
information in the cue) hold down the SHIFT key and press the GO
button.
The red LED in the GO button is on when the stack is outputting and
flashes when the outputs are fading between cues.
Using the Pause Key
If at any time you wish to pause the cue stack when it is running,
press the PAUSE key below the playback master fader.
After the initial press of the PAUSE key, subsequent presses will
step backwards through the cue stack using the current cue fade
times.
To continue running the cue stack, press the GO key.
Holding down SHIFT and pressing the PAUSE key will snap to the
previous cue.
Playing Back Several Cue Stacks
To play back more that one cue stack at the same time - select the
required cue stacks by holding down the SHIFT key and pressing
the Stack SELECT buttons above all the stacks you wish to play
back. The red lights in the SELECT keys indicate the selected

To play back all the selected stacks at the same time, press the
MASTER GO key.
To snap to the next cue in each of the selected the cue stacks (ie
ignore all timing information in the cue) hold down the SHIFT key
and press the MASTER GO button.
Releasing the Cue Stack
Once you’ve finished playing back cues, it is important to release
the cue stack(s). This returns all of the affected fixture parameters

stack was executed.
Select the cue stack, using the Stack SELECT button, then press the

If you wish to release several stacks at the same time, select them
by holding down the SHIFT key and pressing the Stack SELECT
button above all the stacks you wish to release, then press the
RELEASE key.
