You can have many pages with executors. Active executors needs to be visible. If you have an active executor and
change page then your executor will automatically be fixed and will stay visible. Anything that might be on that
executor on the new page will not be available before the other executor (from the previous page) isn't active
anymore. When it becomes inactive then it is automatically returned to the original page.
You can also choose to fix the executors using the Fix commands and Key.
Active executors have a brighter colored frame then non active faders. You can make an executor non-active by
pressing the Off key and then a key associated with the executor. Many executors will become non-active when the
fader reach 0%, but not the Rate 1 fader (read below for more on this). This have a default non-active position at
50%.
The executors can have different roles. The following is a description of them.
Cues
You can have cues and cue lists. When you store cues on an executor, then you get a cue list with one or more
cues.
Now you can play back these cues using the executor keys and faders.
This is the default use for Executors.
Chaser
A cue list can run in Chaser mode. Then it ignores the timing in the cue list and instead runs the cues in a loop with
an overall timing
Group Masters
You can store groups to executors and then you get groups masters. These can be used to limit the dimmer output
on the fixtures in the group.
Special masters
There's currently two special masters. Both only makes sense to have on executors with faders
The Rate 1 master is used to change the timing of cues using what's called a divider. The default value for the rate
fader is 1. This means that the time values in the cue is divided with one = the same time as stored. If you move the
fader below 50% (default position for the Rate fader) then you get a fader value lower than 1. If the fader is at 25%
then you get a value of 0.50. So if your original cue fade is 2 seconds then it's divided by 0.5 and the result is 4
seconds. Moving the fader to 0% will stop all fades. If you move the fader above 50% then you get a higher fader
value. If you put the fader at 75% then your value is 2. 2 divided by 2 is 1, so you fade time is 1 second. Taking it too
100% will basically give you fade time of 0 seconds. The speed of any effects stored in cues are also affected by this
master.
The ProgT master is used to set a time on your programmer. This is very useful if you are running live shows and are
want to fade from one programmer value to another. When you move the fader up you get a value between 0 and
10 seconds. The two keys associated with the executor can be used to turn the ProgT fader On or Off. When it's on
