Using The Execute List - ETC ION Operation Manual

U s i n g t h e E x e c u t e L i s t
The execute list can be used to trigger actions on other faders, and to trigger macros. Additionally,
you can enter instructions that sync the "Go" of other cue lists.
When you press {Execute}, a dialog box appears. This provides a list of the available analog
triggers and MIDI triggers. Also, fields are available to enter specific data relating to the macro, cue
number and cue list that you wish to execute.
To trigger a macro:
• [Cue] [1] {Execute} [Macro] [5] [Enter] - triggers Macro 5 when cue 1 is executed.
To trigger cue lists press:
• [Cue] [1] {Execute} {Cue} [4] [/] <+> [6] [/] [Enter]
• [Cue] [1] {Execute} {Cue} [2] [/] [thru] [5] [/] [Enter]
To trigger a specific cue on another fader:
• [Cue] [4] {Execute} [Cue] [4] [/] [5] [Enter]
When cue list triggers are set, the system will automatically execute same numbered cues on the
associated cue list. For example, assume that the last instruction above was applied to cue list 1,
cue 1. When cue 1/1 is executed, any cues numbered "1" in cue list 2 thru 5 will be executed
accordingly. If there is not a cue 1 in those lists, no action is taken on them. If there are cue numbers
on secondary cue lists that are not in cue list 1, those cues are skipped and the subsequent cue
taken as an "out-of-sequence" cue when triggered.
Therefore, it is valuable to create dummy cues in the master cue list if needed, to ensure that no
cues on the secondary cue lists are skipped.

To remove a trigger, access the cue number and press {Execute}, the record target type and press
[Enter].
• [Cue] [5] {Execute} {Cue/Macro} [Enter]
