3.14 Adding in FX
To add a FX to some heads, select the heads then from the Group Window or the Prog Window press the
ADD FX soft button. Choose the FX to add.
Once you have chosen a FX you are returned to the Prog Window. Use the encoders to modify the
parameters of the FX such as the speed, size and spread between heads.
You can add multiple FX to a head, provided that the FX uses different attributes - e.g. you can mix a Pan
Sine with a Tilt Sine.
3.15 Recording a Cue
To record a look onto a Cue, first set up the look, then press RECORD and press the SELECT button of the
Playback to record the Cue onto.
To test the Cue, first clear the programmer by pressing CLEAR then raise the Playback fader or press the
Playback flash button.
Note that recording a Cue onto a Playback, generates a Cue Stack with a single Cue. However, as there is
only one step, it behaves as though it is just the Cue on the Playback.
To view a recorded Cue, press the SELECT button for the Playback, and then press CUE to open the
Cue Window.
To configure options when recording, press SHIFT and RECORD, and the Record Options window opens.
Choose the options you require then press the SELECT button of the Playback as above.
3.16 Recording a Cue Stack (Chase)
Recording a Cue Stack is the same as recording a Cue - you simply record multiple Cues onto a Playback
and you end up with a Cue Stack.
So, for example to record a stack of two looks, the first yellow dots, the second blue triangles:
Generate the yellow dots look.
Press RECORD and press the SELECT button of the playback.
Generate the blue triangles look.
Press RECORD and press the SELECT button of the playback.
To test the Cue, first clear the programmer by pressing CLEAR then raise the Playback fader or press the
Playback flash button.
View the Cue Stack by selecting the Playback and pressing CUE STACK to open the Cue Stack Window.
When you record more than one Cue onto a Playback the Cue Stack controls the transition from one Cue to
another. By default the Cue Stack operates like a chase - i.e. each Cue is executed in turn, with timing being
handled by a Chase Speed for the whole Cue Stack.
The timing mode can be changed, so that the Cues play back in a theatre style using the GO / STOP buttons.
Press the CUE TIMING and CHASE TIMING soft buttons to modify the timing mode.
You can speed up recording by using multiple record mode. Follow the procedure above except that when
you press RECORD for the first step, hold SHIFT and press RECORD. A toolbar of record options is
