Diskette management
Obsession's disk drive lets you save one show per high density
3.5-inch diskette . This allows you to work on more than one show
at a time or to use more than 1,000 cues for your production by
loading a second show into memory. Chapter 17, Hard drive func-
tions , provides information on storing shows on Obsession's hard
drive.
When you select diskette options, any fades in progress stop .
Therefore, if you need to load an additional show in the middle of
a performance, load it between cues when all channels are static .
Fader and submaster outputs are maintained as the new show
loads.
