About Multipart Cues

Cues can be divided into up to 20 parts. Each part can have its own channels or parameters, levels,
and timing information. Multipart cues can be stored in Live or Blind using the same conventions to
record a standard cue.
There are three basic ways to create a multipart cue:
Building a multipart cue part-by-part in Live
Breaking an existing cue into multipart cues in Live
Breaking an existing cue apart in Blind.
Multipart cues can be used to organize moving light data so that you can apply different times to dif-
ferent moves (focus moves slowly, but color snaps after a short delay). You can also use multipart
cues instead of many individual cues triggered by wait times to create a series of fades.
A channel or parameter can only be provided an instruction once in a multipart cue. For example, it
isn't possible to adjust color for channel 1 in cue 1 part 1 and then also provide a different instruction
for channel 1 color in cue 1 part 8.
Default part timing is drawn from the cue level timing defaults established in Setup ( see
(on page 153)); you may also assign discrete timing to channels in each part as you would for a single
part cue.

Record a Multipart Cue in Live

Storing a multipart cue in Live is accomplished in similar fashion to storing a single part cue.
However, rather than storing the entire cue, you select and store just the channels that you want in
each part.

Creating a New Multipart Cue in Live
There are two ways to create a multipart cue in Live. You can either build it part-by-part, or by build-
ing parts from the cue end state.
Build Part-By-Part
Make desired changes to the stage state. If all of the changes that you have made are to go into a
part, press:
[Record Only] [Cue] [2] [Part] [1] [Enter]
Continue making changes and storing parts as you go.
Build Parts From Cue End State
In most instances, you will create the end state of the cue and then break it into parts. To do this, you
use selective storing commands, as follows:
