17.9.1 Adjusting the Playback and Effect Rates of a Master
The playback and effect rates of a master (cuelist, scene, chase) can be adjusted several
different ways:
Changing the playback and effect rate fields in the cuelist / scene options
window: The simplest way to adjust the playback and effects rates of a master
(cuelist, scene, chase) is to open the options window for that master and modify the
playback and effect rate fields. Any modifications made to the playback and effect rate
fields in the options window are stored and persisted for that cuelist/scene as the "base
rate".
Holding choose and adjusting the main encoder wheels: Press and hold the
Choose key for a master and use the parameter wheels to adjust the playback and
effects rates. Any modifications made to the playback and effect rates via the encoder
wheels are stored and will persist for that cuelist/scene as the "base rate".
Using the Rate Wheel: The wheel located on the left hand side of the console is
known as the rate wheel. The rate wheel allows users to make temporary modifications
to the base playback and effects rates for the chosen and selected masters. To toggle
the rate wheel mode (playback, effect, none) press the rate key located below the rate
wheel. The rate wheel's mode is displayed on the main playback bar (base rate + rate
wheel modification). Moving the rate wheel in the upward direction will increase the
selected rate while moving the wheel in the downward direction will decrease the
selected rate. To clear the rate wheel's modifications for the active rate mode of the
rate wheel press the restore key located above the rate thruster. You can also clear rate
wheel modifications by holding choose for a master and pressing the encoder wheel
button for the matching rate on the main encoder wheels. To permanently store the rate
wheel's modifications for a cuelist/scene master hold the pig key and press the restore
key. You can also permanently add the rate wheel's modifications into the base rate of
a master by holding choose and turning the encoder wheel matching the rate on the
main encoder wheel. Any rate thruster modifications that are not stored are be lost
when the master is released.
Assigning the fader of the master to "Scale Playback Rate" or "Scale Effect
Rate" in the cuelist / scene options window: Assigning the physical fader control of
a master to "Scale Playback Rate" or "Scale Effect Rate" allows users to utilize the
physical fader of the master to scale (multiply & divide) the base playback rate (or base
effect rate) of the master. The middle of the fader travel always equals 1x scaling (no
scaling applied) while moving the fader up or down adjusts the associated rate by
multiplying/dividing against the base playback/effect rate. The upper and lower
boundary options of the scale options determine how much scaling is applied as the
fader is moved.
Assigning the button controls of the master to "Scale Playback Rate" or "Scale
Effect Rate" in the cuelist / scene options window": Assigning any of the physical
button controls of the master to "Scale Playback Rate" or "Scale Effect Rate" allows
users to scale (multiply & divide) the base playback rate (or base effect rate) of the
master with a single button press.
