Automatic Crossfader Playback
Pressing [GO] initiates a new crossfade. The fade times programmed in the X2 cue control the fade-in
of the X2 cue and the fade-out of the X1 cue. If an auto-time is programmed in the X1 cue, the X2 cue
will automatically start its fade-in once the auto-time completes.
To pause the crossfade, press [PSBACK]. Press [GO] to restart.
To reverse direction, press [PSBACK] twice. The crossfade will fade back in the cue's programmed
time or in a fixed GObACK time (the GObACK time can be modified from the Cue List screen, [CUE]
[CUE], or from [MENU] [30]).
The automatic crossfade can be ended at anytime by taking manual control.
To "GoTo" a cue, Press [CUE] [#] [ASSIGN]. The desired cue is placed as the next cue in X2.
Modifying the Fade Rate
To modify the fade rate of a crossfade, press the [RATE] key and use Encoder Wheel 1 to adjust
the rate. The rate can also be modified from a Master that has been configured as a Rate Master (to
configure a Rate Master, press [MDFY] [FLMT] [10]).
Playback Masters
Masters can playback single cues, cue lists, groups, effects, shapes, and individual channels. For the
purpose of this Quick Start Guide, only single cues, cue lists, and channels are covered in detail here.
To execute a single cue or cue list in a Master, you must load the cue(s) in the Master. The first loaded
cue becomes the next cue to execute by manually raising the Master's fader, or automatically by
pressing the Master key [M#] located above the fader. The Master's LED indicates that the Master is
loaded.
In the Auxiliary screen, Channels and Parameters being controlled by a Master appear in a Yellow field.
