Cue
With 8 page buttons and 20 number buttons, you can run 160 cue lists directly from the front panel. Each
cue list can contain up to 99 steps. At any given time, there can be only one running cue list.
The purpose of a cue list is to automatically playback cues as if you would launch them manually from the
front panel. Each step in the cue list refers to an existing cue.
To make the cue list more dynamic, you can attach extra options to each step:
•
GO: Xciter waits until you press the right arrow button before launching the next cue
•
WAIT with WT x S: Xciter waits x seconds until going to the next cue, overwriting the scene time of the
cue. The wait time can be maximum 6553.5 seconds.
•
FOLLOW with FT x S: Xciter adds x seconds to the scene time of the current cue before launching the
next cue.
•
GOTO with To=x: Xciter jumps to step x of the cue list. If you place this function at the end of a cue list
with To=1, that list will loop infinitely.
•
LOOP with Loopcount=x and To=y: Xciter jumps to step y of the cue list x times before proceeding to
the underlying steps.
•
LAMP_ON: Execute lamp on procedures for all patched fixtures.
•
LAMP_RESET: Execute reset procedures for all patched fixtures.
•
LAMP_OFF: Execute lamp off procedures for all patched fixtures.
Further in this manual, we will explain how to use cue lists in detail.
15.3 Programming aids
15.3.1 Effect generator
You have 255 effect generators at your disposal. The effect generator is not limited to pan and tilt; it can
affect every activated control channel in a scene. Use Xciter's flexible effect generator to add dynamics to
you background scenes and playback scenes. So you can save up those valuable sequences for more
direct access in the cue. Xciter's powerful engine also fades (between cues) and cross fades (between
cues and playbacks) on the swing, speed and delays of an effect.
Some key features of the effect generator:
•
Variable speed and swing.
•
Variable delay across channels.
•
Variable delay across fixtures.
•
Multiple shapes like sine, square, triangle, saw tooth, etc.
•
Bounce, reverse, reverse + bounce
•
Generator modulation
•
Audio modulation
•
BPM adaptive generators
