Playback Fader Controls
Go and Stop/Back
Using [Go]
The [Go] button is used to execute the pending cue. When [Go] is pressed, all parameters assume
their required positions in the recorded times, unless they have been recorded with manual timing.
For information on manual timing, see Manual Timing Control, page 142. For information on
manual master, see See “Manual Master Option” on page 144.
Using [Stop/Back]
All fader activity can be instantly stopped mid-transition by pressing the [Stop/Back] button for the
required fader. To resume the cue, press the [Go] button. To fade to the previous cue on that fader,
using default “back” timing, press the [Stop/Back] button again from this state.
When a cue on the playback fader is complete, pressing [Stop/Back] will step backwards
sequentially through the cue list from that point. [Stop/Back] uses default back time as established
in Setup. See “Default Times” on page 48.Or you can back into the previous cue using specific
timing by pressing:
• [Go to Cue] [Last] [Time] [n] [Enter]
[Go To Cue] [0]
You can use the [Go To Cue] [0] [Enter] command to send the cue list to cue 0. This drives all cue
intensities to zero, while leaving non-intensity parameters as currently set but no longer under cue
control.
[Go To Cue] [Out]
To reset all parameters to their default states (unless they are controlled by a submaster] and reset
the cue list so that the first cue is pending, press:
• [Go To Cue] [Out] [Enter]
Using Manual Control
There are four types of manual control for playbacks:
• Cues can be stored with manual timing. When cues have stored manual timing, the default
behavior of the fader is to control those manual values.
• Cues can be captured for manual intensity control only. This is possible only when the
associated cue has no manual timing values.
• Cues can be manually overridden using the {Man Override} & [Load] feature which captures
all parameter transitions.
• The fader can be set to Manual Master mode. See “Manual Master Option” on page 144.
In each of these cases, follow time counts down from [Go].
Manual Timing Control
Manual timing can be set for any parameter or group of parameters. The fader is then used to
control the progress of a transition.
For Example:
Assume the active cue contains an instruction to set color at 5 for channel 1.
