Arm CueList

4-2 GC Operation
Five seconds later, Cue #2 is recalled. Faders 11...20 will start moving
down.
After six seconds, faders 11...20 have finished their cross-fade and are set to
–40 dB.
After ten seconds faders 1...10 also have finished their cross-fade and are set
to –20 dB.
It is possible to move events from one cue to a different one by using drag-
and-drop. Also, snapshots may be moved between cues using drag-and-drop.
In this way, snapshots can be replaced or exchanged within cues.
The snapshot names displayed in the cue list are only referring to the corre-
sponding snapshot contained in the snapshot list. It is therefore possible to
use the same snapshot in multiple cues, possibly using different cross-fade
times. When updating a snapshot, the cues containing it will automatically
use the updated snapshot.
Note Snapshots can be updated from within the cue list window; right-click on the
snapshot within the snapshot list in the top left corner in order to get different
options, such as Make, Update, Name, etc.
Alternatively a button has been introduced which allows updating a snapshot
directly out of the cue list window (not shown in illustrations above.)
MIDI MIDI note and program changes can be used both as sources for firing a
cue, or as events to be sent out of the console upon recalling a cue. In order
to attach a MIDI command as a cue trigger, drag-and-drop the MIDI icon to
the left side of the cue name. If a MIDI command should be sent out upon
cue recall, drag-and-drop the MIDI icon to the right side of the cue. Multiple
events may be added to the right side of a cue.
It is possible to make the whole console surface go dark. This function is
useful in case complete darkness is required, e.g. in a theatre environment.
This function also includes the optional console illumination. It can only be
activated if the cue list is armed. The console lights come back on again either
by the next BlackOut event (Parameter: OFF) or by pressing F3 in the control
bay.
To avoid undesired influence by external devices, the cue list inputs may be
armed or disarmed. If not armed, the BlackOut function, the MIDI IN events,
and the NEXT and PREVIOUS keys in the control bay are disabled.
It is possible to set the default value of the ARM CUELIST button by using
the 'Option - Static Automation' menu.
