The cue control
The cue control
The cue control is opened by clicking on the right hand side of the sequence/cue tool bar.
The cue control
The cue control is used to construct and execute cues that contains up to 12 sequences to execute
in parallel. The cue control implements options to manipulate sequence timings, loop options and
movement macro scaling. The cue control is also be used to launch background cues or generic DMX
macros.
The state and contents of the cue control can be saved to a data file - the saved file can then be re-
loaded from the list of cues. A saved data file is refereed to as 'a cue'. The cue control and associated
cue files are the principal 'play-back' method in LightJockey. A large number of cue control functions
and options are available as keyboard hotkeys or via remote controls such as DMX in or the 2532
direct access controller.
Adding sequences to a cue
There are several ways of assigning a sequence to each of the 12 sequence slots.
From the list of sequences:
1. Drag and drop the already saved sequence from the list into the cue slot (drag mode must be
selected in the preference menu on the list of sequences).
2. Right-Click the sequence line in the list and select add sequence to cue (this will only work if
there is a free slot for the sequence).
3. Enable the Browse to Cue function in list of sequences preferences menu and click the
sequence to add.
From the save sequence dialog:
Enable the Add Sequence to Current Cue switch - this will automatically add the sequence to the
cue when the sequence is saved (provided there is a free slot for the sequence). If the sequence is
already part of the cue, it will not be added a second time.
Removing sequences
To remove one or more sequences from the cue, select the slots, right-click and select Clear Slot(s)
from the popup menu.
Rearranging sequences within the cue
To rearrange the order of the sequences simply drag the sequence to a different slot (note that drag
sequences in the preferences menu must be enabled, otherwise dragging of sequences is disabled
within the cue control). Dragging a sequence to a different slot prompts a popup menu the following
options:
Move Sequence - will move the sequence to the target slot.
