chapter 13 subroutines 161
Style steps
The following playback styles are available for subroutines. A style is
assigned to a step. When the subroutine runs, the steps play back in
numeric order, until the subroutine reaches a style step. The style step
then determines whether the subroutine will loop, bounce, hold, or end
and run a different cue.
Subroutine attributes
The following attributes may be applied to each cue step.
Loop
The subroutine runs through steps until it reaches a
Loop step. It then returns to the first step, and
repeats the sequence for the number of times you
specify.
When you create the Loop step, enter the number of
times you want the loop to return to the top of the
step list
. If you enter 5, the sequence will play six
times . Enter 0 to create a continuous loop.
Bounce
The subroutine runs through steps until it reaches a
Bounce step. It then runs back through the steps in
reverse order, and repeats the sequence for the num-
ber of times you specify.
When you create the Bounce step, enter the number
of times you want the subroutine to bounce. One
bounce equals running through the sequence for-
ward once and reverse once . Enter 0 for a continuous
bounce.
Jump-to-
cue
The subroutine runs through steps until it reaches a
Jump-to-cue step. It then automatically starts another
cue which is not included in the subroutine . You can
jump to any type of cue: regular, subroutine or effect.
When you create the Jump-to-cue step, enter the
number of the cue to which to jump.
Hold-for-
Go
The subroutine runs through steps until it reaches a
Hold-for-Go step . It then pauses until you press [Go].
Level
Sets an intensity level for the cue within the subrou-
tine. The level proportionally affects the channel lev-
els assigned to the original cue. Levels must be
entered as two-digit numbers (e.g., 20 for 20 percent,
05 for five percent). Use [Full] for 100 percent.
Fade times
Upfade times may range from .1 seconds to 99:59
minutes. If you do not enter a time, the downfade will
match the upfade.
Follow
time
Follow time is the time between the start of one step
and the start of the next. Follow times may range
from .1 seconds to 99:59 minutes.
