Now let's try our cue list again. Press
the main executor. Now press the
cue 3. With cue 3 we can see that fixtures 41 and 43 fade in the position and color. So now they are ready for cue
4.
Cue timings
Now run cue 4. This will give values to all the fixtures we programmed in cue 5 so they are ready. Notice that fixtures
41 and 43 turned on. Keep an eye on them as you press
while they fade out. So MIB fixes the problem of presetting the fixtures, but since we stored it as Cue Only then they'll
move back to their default position and color as we go into cue 5. This is not what we want. We really want to delay
the color and the movement until it's finished fading out.
Have a look in the cue list. Since we added a lot of new fixtures, we can now use most of the time columns. Locate
the Position Delay column and press and hold the cell where it interacts with cue 5. This should display the
Calculator where you can set the delay time for all position moments in the transaction from cue 4 into 5. Set the
delay to 5 seconds. Do the same in the Color Delay column. We can even fine tune it a little bit more. Since we
now wait until the dimmer has faded out, we don't need then to do a position and color change in 5 seconds. The
color is just a small internal part of the fixtures, so they can move in zero seconds. The pan/tilt movement is more
visible and we should give it a little time to do the movement. Give it 1 second. This should be your final result:
Figure 2: Cue list with Preset Type timing.
This works because nothing else moves or changes color in this cue. Otherwise we would have to make a cue in
between 4 and 5.
Group master
Now if we imagine that we are going to play this show and that the audience love it, they might want multiple
curtain calls. Our small but cool imaginary theater actually has a curtain and the stage manager want to use this
instead of going back in our BO cue. So, we need to be able to remove all our front lights. This is best done using a
group master that can limit the output from the FOH group.
Clear your programmer and activate group All FOH - how nice we already had that :-) With this selection in our
programmer, press Store Group

Off and then one of the buttons below the two big executors. This turns off
Go+ and run cue 1 - this looks as always. Run Cue 2 and it automatically runs
Go +
and then one of the keys associated with executor number 6. Now this works as
