ETC Element - Move Fade; Selective Storing Cues in Live

Working with a Cue List 221
In Cue Only Mode
When you create a new cue, any channel parameter data from the previous cue is tracked into
the new cue. The [Q Only/Track] key can be used as an applied exception to the cue only/ track
system setting.
Note: In the following examples, the command [Track] indicate the same key hit of
[Q Only/Track] which is a single button on the keypad. The system setting determines
the actual context of the button depending on the mode the system is operating. For
clarity, only the contextual function of the button is used in the examples.
With system set to Cue Only
•
[Record] <Cue> [5] [Track] [Enter] - records cue 5. This data will track forward in the list
until the next move instruction or block.
•
[-] [5] [Color] [Record] <Cue> [6] [Track] [Enter] - records the specified cue, except the
color data from channel 5. The data will track forward in the list until the next move
instruction or block.
•
[Record Only] <Cue> [2] [Thru] [7] [Track] [Enter] - stores all manual data. The stored
data will be forced to track from cue 2 through 7 through any blocks or move instructions.
After cue 7, values will continue to track until a move instruction or block is encountered.
Move Fade
Element uses Move Fade philosophy. This means that only changing levels are executed from
cue to cue, and also that those levels that are moving will continue to do so in their own time if
you execute cues before previous cues are done fading. For a definition, see Move Fade (on
page8)
Example:
In cue 1, channel 1 moves to 100% in a fade time of 10 seconds. Cue 2 contains
channel 2 at 50% and a fade time of 3 seconds. If you execute cue 1, starting channel 1
fading up, then 5 seconds later press [Go] again, channel 1 continues along and
completes its fade in 5 seconds (for a total fade time of 10 seconds). In the mean time,
channel 2 will start its fade up and complete in 3 seconds while channel 1 is still
moving. This makes it very easy to create complex stage looks with multiple fade times,
just by recording cues and pressing [Go].
To force a cue to stomp on currently fading levels, like in the case of a blackout at the
end of a scene, place a block on that cue. See Block (on page231)
Selective Storing Cues in Live
Cues can also be modified using selective storing, which allows you to specify only the channels
and or parameters that you want to store. When using a selective store, you must specify the
channel list to be included or excluded, identified by [Thru], [+], [-], as part of the [Record] or
[Record Only] command.
See Using Selective Store (below) for more information.
Using Selective Store
You may use the [-] button to withhold information from a cue or use the [+] button to specify a
particular channel/ parameter to be included in the record action. These actions are both
selective stores.
For information on a selective store using filters see Partial Filters (on page250) .
