Deleting Cues; In Track Mode; In Cue Only Mode - ETC ION Operation Manual

Deleting Cues

Cues, lists of cues, or ranges of cues can be deleted. When deleting cues, the track/cue only setting
of the console will determine how subsequent cues are affected. The [Cue Only/Track] button can
be used to modify the default behavior as needed.
I n T r a c k M o d e
When the console is in track mode, deleting a cue also removes any move instructions provided by
the cue. For example, assume you have stored cues 1-10 and cue 5 contains move instructions for
channels 1-5. If cue 5 is deleted, the move instructions are deleted as well and the values from cue
4 will track directly into cue 6 and beyond.
In this instance, if you used the [Cue Only] button in the delete instruction, cue 5 would be deleted,
but the tracked values in cue 6 that originated in cue 5 would remain and be converted to move
instructions.
I n C u e O n l y M o d e
When the console is in cue only mode, any subsequent tracked values are not eliminated, but are
converted to move instructions instead.
In the example above, deleting cue 5 (in cue only mode) would result in any tracked values in cue
6, that originated in cue 5, being converted to move instructions.
If you apply the [Track] button to the delete instruction, the move instructions from cue 5 are
deleted and the values from cue 4 would then track into cue 6 and beyond.
Some examples of cue deletion are:
• [Delete] <Cue> [5] [Enter] [Enter] - deletes cue 5. Subsequent cues in the list are affected
depending on the console default setting as described above.
• [Delete] <Cue> [6] [Cue Only/Track] [Enter] [Enter] - deletes cue 6, making exception to the
default setting, as described above.
• [Delete] <Cue> [7] [Part] [1] [Enter] [Enter] - deletes part 1 of cue 7.
• [Delete] <Cue> [8] [Part] [1] [Thru] [3] [Cue Only/Track] [Enter] [Enter] - deletes parts 1-
3 of cue 8, making exception to the default setting, as described above.
• [Group] [1] [Delete] <Cue> [2] [Enter] - deletes any channels in group 1 from cue 2. Cue 2
remains in the cue list and any channels not in group 1 are unaffected.
• [Delete] <Cue> [2] [thru] [8] [Cue Only/Track] [Enter] [Enter] - deletes cues 2-8, making
exception to the default setting, as described above.
