After setting the record mode to Quick Build, the console will wait for
you to select playbacks or palettes.
To insert specific fixtures from a palette or playback, select the
fixtures first and then select the palette or playback.
Press [OK] once you have selected all the playbacks or palettes
required.
7.1.4 Using shapes/effects in cues
As you would expect, any shapes or Pixel Mapper effects you have set
up will be saved as part of the cue.
You can create a cue which contains a shape with no base reference
values; a shape cue like this can then be fired with other cues to
overlay the shape on the cue and give you instant effects based
around the settings in that cue. When recording the cue, use Record
by Channel mode or use the “Off” function to remove the other
attributes from the programmer as described on page 160.
7.1.5 Blind mode
Blind mode allows you to program cues without affecting the current
look on the stage. This can be very useful for making changes during
a live show. Your changes are still shown in the Visualiser window.
To select Blind mode, hold down the Avolites button and select the
[Blind] option (some consoles also have a dedicated Blind button).
The option shows [Active] or [Inactive].
Individual playbacks can be set to Blind mode using [Playback
Options]. The playback will then output only to Visualiser, not to the
stage.
You can fade your blind state to the live output by typing in a fade
time number then pressing Avo+[Blind]. This allows you to recall
several palettes together, or create a live state to be output without
needing to save it to a cue.
7.1.6 Recording cue with a mask
You can set a mask when recording a cue so that only certain
attributes are recorded, the same as you can when recording a
palette. In the Record menu, select the [Set Mask] option.
There is an additional option [Clear Record Mask], if this is enabled
the mask will automatically be cleared after this record operation.
This is good to stop you accidentally leaving the mask set and
causing havoc with future cues.
7.1.7 Convert cue to chase or cue list
If you want to convert an existing cue into chase or cue list by adding
further steps, press Record, select the cue, then select [Convert to
Chase] (or Cue List). The existing cue will become cue 1 and the
contents of the programmer will become cue 2.
