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 stacks.
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 to their default values, or to the value they
were at before the cue stack was executed.
Select the cue stack, using the Stack SELECT button, then press the RELEASE key.
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.
To release all cue stacks – hold down the SHIFT key and press the RELEASE key.
Virtual Playback Functions
To place a cue stack on the virtual playback so that it can be triggered using the MASTER
GO button on the front panel enter the command: STACK N ENTER.
The command syntax also allows combinations of stacks to be placed on the virtual
playback, eg STACK 12 + 23 ENTER; STACK 31 THRU 35 ENTER.
The stack(s) on the virtual playback can be released by specifying the stack number(s) in
the release command, eg STACK 2 RELEASE, STACK 11 + 12 RELEASE, STACK 31
THRU 34 RELEASE.
The command SHIFT RELEASE releases all cue stacks on the virtual playbacks as well
as those on the physical playbacks.
