• When in Run mode, you can set the chase speed of the
connected chase by tapping the [Tap Tempo] button in the
main menu at the speed you want the chase to run. (The
option only appears when a chase is connected). You can also
assign the blue or grey handle button to be a “tap tempo”
button using the Key Profiles option (see section
12.2.1 on page
196).
The Overlap functions allow you to offset and overlap the timing of
changes in the chase. This can create really amazing visual effects
with hardly any programming. The best way to learn about overlap is
to program a chase with two cues involving several fixtures, then
experiment with the overlap settings to see the various “roll” and
“peel off” effects which result.
The following diagram shows you the effects of cue overlap, fixture
overlap and attribute overlap in chases.
• Press [Fixture Overlap] then enter 0-100 on the keypad to
change how fixtures overlap in the cue. 100% (the normal
setting) means all fixtures fade together. 0% means that the
first fixture will finish its fade before the next one starts giving a
“rolling” change across a range of fixtures. 50% means that the
2
nd
fixture will start fading when the first one is half way
through its fade. The order of the fixtures is set by the order
you selected them when the cue was saved; you can change
the order using Unfold.
From version 3 of Titan software, [Cue Overlap] is no
longer available in chases. Instead use a Cue List set to
“Link With Previous” and set the Offset as desired.
8.5.2 Individual cue times in chases
You can configure each cue in a chase to have its own timing
information. You can use the Playback View window, or the Unfold
function to set individual times for cues in chases.
