Cue Time
You must assign an execution time to each cue that is recorded. The cue time
is the time the cue takes to fade to its final readings, after the GO button has
been pressed. Cue execution time (or "cue time") may be assigned either as a
numerically designated fade time or as a manual fade time. A manual fade
time indicates that you use a playback fader to manually fade the cue. You can
assign a numerical cue time with a value from 0 - 999.9 seconds in 0.1 second
increments.
A cue may be assigned a split time, which allows the channels that are going to
a higher level to fade in a different time than the channels that are going to a
lower level.
? EXAMPLE: To assign a cue time of 10 seconds to cue 2, in the
Stage, Preview, Cuesheet, Tracksheet, and Playback displays:
[CUE] [2] [TIME] [10] [ENTER]
? NOTE: In the Example above, the command creates the cue if it
doesn't already exist.
Manual Cues
A cue may be played back manually on one of the four playback faders. This
allows you to fade at a rate that matches an event taking place on stage. You
can reverse directions of the fade by moving the fader handle backwards at any
time before completing the fade. When the playback fader handle reaches the
end of its travel (at "10"), the fade is complete and the fade is cleared from the
playback fader.
