Lesson 3: Playing Back Cues - ETC Expression 2.0 User Manual

Chapter 4 Learning the basics
Lesson 3
Playing back cues
Now that you have some cues, you're probably anxious to play them
back . Expression has two sets of timed fader pairs that playback re-
corded cues . The left fader in each pair (faders A and C) controls
upfades. The right fader in each pair (B and D) controls downfades.
You can playback cues one at a time through a single fader pair, or you
can playback a different cue in each fader pair at the same time.
You can also play a cue in one pair, leave it there, and then play another
cue in the second fader pair . This is one way to put two looks on stage
at the same time.
For example, you may want to play a 10 minute sunset cyc cue in one
fader pair while you play several cues during the same period downstage
in the other fader pair.
This lesson includes the following sections:
• Selecting cues
• Timed fader pair and LED displays
• Playing back cues
• Go to a different cue
• Controlling fades manually
• Back key
