USING THE PLAYSHEET
All ten cues may be played simultaneously. When a cue is playing, it is highlighted and if two or
more are playing, they will all be highlighted:
Please note, however, that when pressing and holding multiple keys down one side of the
LCD, pressing and holding a key on the side of the LCD will cause the same keys on the other
side of the LCD to be selected.
For example, press and hold F3, F4 and F6 and also press and hold F11 and you will see that
F12 and F15 will also be selected. Similarly, pressing and holding F12 would cause F11 and
F15 to be selected. This is a hardware limitation that cannot be overcome with software.
If this sounds a serious limitation, please note that this does not apply if the new playback
options LIR -> RETRIG or PLAY -> RETRIG are used or if the key is pressed but not held. Only
when pressing and holding multiple keys on one side of the LCD whilst simultaneously
pressing and holding a key on the other side of the LCD does this occur.
The current playsheet name is shown in the centre of the LCD. When you enter PLAYSHEET
mode, the first playsheet in the scene is always selected. Use NEXT and PREV SHEET to
move around the scene.
Similarly, press NEXT and PREV SCENE to select other scenes (you can also use the DATA
wheel and/or +/- keys if you prefer).
