Changing the settings of the chaser
There are different settings that adjust how the chaser is running. These settings can be changed when we again
look at the Cues on the executor. So if you close the Settings window by tapping the Esc button in the upper left
corner, then you return to the Cues view - if you don't, then press the
associated with the executor.
In the cues view you can now see a different bar at the bottom of the screen and your encoders have some different
parameters.
This is the bar at the bottom of the Cues view:
And this is the new parameters on the encoders:
With the two center encoders you can control the Fade percent between the chaser steps (cues) and speed of the
Chaser. The Fade is the time used to fade from one step to the next. The fade times stored in the cue list is ignored
and the Fade is the one controlling if the values fade or snap (change instantly). The higher the number is, the more
time is used to fade. It's expressed as a percent number. This is because it's expressed as a time available based on
the speed of the chaser. The Speed is a number expressed in BPM (Beats Per Minute). This tells us the number of
steps (cues) it runs per minute.
The chaser bar at the bottom of the cues view allows us to control how the chaser is running. The two green areas
at the top determines if the chaser is looping and the order it runs the steps. The left setting adjust the direction.
Pressing the three white dots opens the menu. You have the following options:
Forward
- will run the steps from the one with the lowest number to the one with the highest.
Backward
- is run from the one with the highest number to the one with the lowest.
Bounce
- will begins as a forward, then when reaching the highest number it will begin to run backwards. The
result is a constant change of direction.
Random
- is choosing a random cues/step as the next one.
The right setting decide how the chaser loops. Pressing the three white dots gives you the following options:
Endless
- will have the chaser running until you stops it
Shoot-Off
- will run the chaser once and then turn off. If the running order is random, then it will run the amount
of steps/cues, but not necessarily all the different cues/step!
Shoot-On
- is the same as Shoot-Off but it will pause after the final step/cue.
The bottom half of this gives you controls to play the chaser (for any of the shoot modes) or pause it. There are also
three buttons that changes the speed. You can half the speed, double it or reset it to what the encoder below is
originally set to.
