This allows you to copy and insert a marked event or block. To insert
an event, place the pointer cursor at the event you wish to copy and
press MARK. Now move the cursor using the numeric keypad to the
position at which you wish to insert this event and press F5 - .
The marked event will be inserted at the point indicated by the pointer
cursor. You may now edit this event if you wish.
You may also copy and insert blocks in the same way. Place the cursor at the point at which you
wish to set the start of the block and press MARK. Now, using the numeric keypad, move the
cursor to the point you wish to set as the end of the block and press BLCK. You may now move
the cursor to the position at which you wish to insert this block and press INS. The marked
block will be inserted at the point indicated by the pointer cursor. You may now edit the cues in
that block if you wish.
This deletes the marked event(s)
This allows you to move a marked event or block of events backwards
or forwards in time. This is most useful on blocks of cues that need to
be shifted very slightly. When you press SLIP, the cursor will
automatically be placed on the ‘ ’ (slip time) field at the top right of the
screen and you may set this field accordingly. After that, pressing
- F7 - will slip the marked event(s) by the amount set in the ‘ ’
field.
This allows you to sort a cue list’s events into chronological order. The
S3200XL will play events in the right sequence even if they appear
out of time on the screen but, to make things clearer for yourself, you
may want to place them in strict time order so that they follow
consecutively on the screen display.
When you first enter the EDIT CUE page, you will always be presented with one cue. This is a
MIDI note ON cue ( ) set at 00:00:00:00.0 with no program assigned. I.e.:
The default MIDI note is C3 (note number 60) and the default velocity setting is 127. You may
use this as the basis for your cue list using the various copy and insert functions. To create a
number of cues, simply press F5 - - a few times to create some new cues. Now, simply
set the appropriate SMPTE times and assign the relevant program(s) and MIDI note number(s).
You may also specify the velocity setting for the cue(s) if you wish to affect a cues loudness or
volume. You will note that a SMPTE time other than 00:00:00:00.0 HAS to be specified for any
cue as this SMPTE time effectively represents ‘no time’ and so the cue will not sound.
If the sound has no looping (i.e. in EDIT SAMPLE, it is either set to “PLAY TO SAMPLE END”
or no loop has been set) then it is not necessary to specify a MIDI note OFF for every event -
only when a sample has a loop set in it is necessary to specify a MIDI note-off or, if a long
sample needs to be shut off before it reaches the end of its duration. This is done by changing
to . If you wish, you may specify a note off command ( ) at any time to cut a sample
short without having to edit its end point in EDIT SAMPLE.
You may also select takes to play from disk. This is done simply by changing to (TAKE
ON). When you move the cursor to the name field, you will now only be able to select takes for
that cue. Set a suitable time for the cue and, in QLIST PLAY (see below), press or
