CUEMASTER II OPERATION 43
CHASE RECORDING AND PLAYBACK
RECORDING AND ASSIGNING A CHASE
You can record a Chase under any Submaster on the bottom preset in a similar fashion to a scene. Every time you press the Record key,
the current output of the desk is recorded in spare memory. Chases are recorded by pressing the Record key after each scene set-up,
and then assigning the recording to a Submaster for playback:
1 Set up a lighting state on the Channel faders or by using the Up and Down keys as described on page 19, then press
[RECORD]. Repeat this for each step of the Chase. You can also record a simple Chase by pressing a Flash key, then
pressing Record while holding the Flash key down.
2 Hold [RECORD] and press a Submaster flash key on the bottom preset to assign the recording.
After a short Mimic flash, the Scenemaster Mimic LED flashes Green to indicate a Chase recorded under the Scenemaster.
CHASE PLAYBACK
If the Scenes LED for the bottom preset is On, raising the fader level of a Chase fades up the levels of the Chase steps. The Chase plays
forward from the first step of the Chase if the Chase Reverse LED is off, or in reverse from the last step of the Chase if the Chase
Reverse LED is on. Subsequent steps forward or reverse are played back at an initial default playback speed of 0.25 seconds per step, (4
per second, or 288 steps per minute). This can be edited as described in the next section. Chases raised by the Submaster fader add
levels on a highest takes precedence basis, and all levels are controlled both by the Scenes Master and the Grand Master. Chases are
not affected by the Scene Fade timer.
FLASHING CHASES
If the Scenes LED for the bottom preset is On, pressing the Flash key of a Chase instantly adds levels on a latest takes precedence
basis—flashed Chase levels over 5% over-ride any other output level. This mode of operation is useful for turning some channels
effectively off (5%) while others are turned on. The Chase plays forward from the first step of the Chase if the Chase Reverse LED is off,
or in reverse if the Chase Reverse LED is on. Flashed Chase levels are only mastered by the Grand Master Fader.
STOPPING AND REVERSING CHASES
The Chase Reverse key stops all Chases while it is held down; when released it reverses all Chase directions:
1 With a Chase running, hold down [CHASE REV]: the Chase will stop.
2 Release [CHASE REV]: the Chase will continue but in the reverse direction—Chase Reverse LED on.
3 Tap the [CHASE REV] key: the Chase reverses with each tap of the key.
§
Chases may be of any number of steps, up to the maximum cue capacity of the Cuemaster, and are level sensitive.
