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.
You can dynamically change the speed of the chaser. Press and hold the
keys associated with the chaser. This adjust the speed to you tapping. This is a function called "Learn". This can
be assigned to one of the keys associated with the chaser. Press and hold the
Label key (=assign command), release the
Assign Learn
Now press the key you want to be Learn. This can also be done using the
window or in the Settings of Executor
