Cues will snap from move instruction to the next move instruction in a time of zero, which is the
default time. To set a different time for Timing Disable, go to Setup>User>Manual

Using Freeze
{Freeze} can be used to halt all effect activity on any active faders. To activate a freeze for only
a specific fader, press {Fader Control} {Freeze} & [Load].
There are two ways to remove the freeze command:
press {Fader Control} {Freeze} &[Load] again for the specific faders to unfreeze the
•
activity.
press {Assert} & [Load] or [Go] or [Stop/Back] for the specific faders to resume the activity.
•
You may freeze and unfreeze effects from the command line.
[Effect] [2] {Fader Control} {Freeze} [Enter] - to freeze effect 2. Freezing a specific effect is
•
different from stopping an effect. Freeze will stop the effect exactly where it is.
[Effect] [6] [Thru] [9] {Fader Control} {Freeze} [Enter] - to freeze a specified range of
•
effects.
When an effect is in freeze mode, you can use the same command to unfreeze:
[Effect] [2] {Fader Control} {Freeze} [Enter]
•
[Effect] [6] [Thru] [9] {Fader Control} {Freeze} [Enter]
•
Using Stop Effect
The [Live] {Fader Control} {Stop Effect} button can be used to stop all effects from operating on
any or all faders, or it may be used with the control keypad to stop a specific effect.
To stop all effects on a fader, press {Fader Control} {Stop Effect} & [Load] of the associated
•
fader.
To stop a specific effect regardless of the fader it is operating on, press {Fader Control}
•
{Stop Effect} [2] [Enter].
To stop an effect on a specific channel, press [5] {Fader Control} {Stop Effect} [Enter].
•
When an effect is stopped, all impact of the effect is removed and the stage output is as though
the effect has never been activated. This behavior is influenced by the exit behavior of the
effect. See Exit (on page 284)
Using Rate Override
Press [Live] {Fader Controls} {Rate} to collect the master fader pair for rate control.
Use the level wheel to adjust the rate dynamically. The default is 100%, which is real time
(example: 5 seconds = 5 seconds). Decrease the percentage to slow the cue down. Setting the
rate to 0% will stop the cue. Increase the percentage to speed up the event.
Following are some examples of rate:
A 50% decrease rate applied to a 5 second event will play the cue in 10 seconds.
•
A 200% increase rate applied to a 5 second event will play the cue in 2.5 seconds.
•
The top rate adjustment is 2000%. All timing values associated with a cue (including any follow
or hang times) are affected by the rate modification proportionally.
If a cue is complete, any rate adjustment applied affects the cue in the pending file. When that
cue is subsequently activated, the adjusted rate is used to direct timing. Pressing [Live] {Fader
Controls} {Rate} again will turn rate control off and reset to 100%.
