12 Editing Cues
12.1 Including Cues into the Programmer
A programmed Cue can be included back into the Programmer so that the information can be used to
program further Cues. When a Cue is included all the level, timing and FX information is loaded. The
only exception is if the Programmer already contains FX information for the heads - in this case the FX
information from the Cue is ignored.
Cues can be included directly from Playbacks - the current Cue in the Cue Stack is included. Cues can
also be included from the Cue Stack, Cue and Cue Store Windows.
Including of Cues is an easy way to edit Cues. You can also use the Record Options to specify that only
part of the Cue should be included into the programmer – for example only selected heads or only certain
attributes. Press SHIFT and INCLUDE to get the options.
Masking can be selected quickly by holding Intensity, Position, Beam or Colour and pressing INCLUDE
for including only the selected attributes.
By default only the data recorded into the specified Cue is included into the programmer. Use the Entire
State option when including Cues into the programmer to include the whole tracking state of a Cue. The
short cue ALL + INCLUDE can be used to select Entire State.
When Cues are included into the Programmer then the channels from the Cue are automatically selected if
the Setup option “Select Heads on Include” is set. At any time, CTRL + ALL selects all heads in the
programmer.
12.1.1 Including Cues at a specified level
By default Include loads the Cue into the programmer at 100%. It is possible to modify this action using
the keypad to use selected levels.
To include a Playback or Cue at a particular level (e.g. 40%), press INCLUDE, type @ 40 and select the
Playback or Cue to include.
To include a playback at its current level press INCLUDE, type @ and press the Select button of the
playback.
12.1.2 Snapshot
The Snapshot function enables the complete current output to be loaded into the programmer and hence
recorded into a Cue. This function takes the Cues running on all active playbacks and includes them into
the programmer based on the level of the fader. Both channel information and FX information is included
into the programmer.
To snapshot the current output, open the Programmer Window and press the Snapshot soft button.
There is a shortcut for recording a complete snapshot - hold THRU and press REC.
