programmer (the things you have changed) are shown in cyan on the
HUD windows and attribute displays.
Firing a cue does not place the values from the cue in the
programmer (although the Include function lets you do this, see
section
6.3.2 on page 75).
6.1.2 Creating a cue
1> Press Clear to clear the programmer. This ensures that you are
starting with a clean slate.
2> Set up the look using the fixtures. You can save shapes in a
cue. Remember that only the fixtures you have selected will be
saved in the cue.
3> Press the blue Memory/Cue button.
4> Press the Swop button of an empty Playback to record the cue.
(Select a new roller page first if you want to use a different
page). You can also record a cue onto a Preset fader by
pressing its Swop/Select button, or into a touch button in the
Playbacks window.
5> Press Clear to clear the programmer. Repeat from 2 to program
more cues.
Other useful things to know about recording cues:
• [Record Mode] lets you select Record By Fixture (all attributes
of any modified fixture are saved), Record By Channel (only
modified attributes are saved) or Record Stage (all fixtures with
a non-zero dimmer channel are saved). Record By Channel is
useful if you want to layer multiple cues to create an effect.
• If you are recording a lot of cues, you can press the ML Menu
button to keep the Record Cue menu active. Press Exit to leave
Record Cue mode.
• The roller has a segment above each playback fader to allow
you to write on
the name of the
cue using the
low-tech but
reliable method
of marker pen
(use a strip of
tape on the
roller surface).
You can then see at a glance what’s in each cue.
• The Heads Up Display shows a legend for each playback fader.
You can change this to help you remember what’s in it. Press
[Set Legend], then the playback Swop button (or the preset
Select button), then enter a legend on the keyboard. Press
Enter to store it.
• The Touch Wing also shows the legends and information for the
playbacks at the bottom of the screen. The playbacks are
