Color scheme
The different types of functions (cues, cue lists, background cues and hotkey functions) may be color
coded in order to differentiate them better - to set the color codes for the text or background select
Preferences -> Font Properties -> Color Scheme to modify the color scheme.
Assigning functions to latch keys
Assigning Cues - to assign a cue to a latch key, open the list of cues and drag the cue from the list to
the appropriate key. Alternatively, right-click the virtual key and select set latch -> current cue to set
the key to latch the current active cue (if any, otherwise the option is grayed out).
Assigning Cue Lists - to assign a cue to a latch key, open the list of cue lists and drag the cue list
from the list to the appropriate key. Alternatively, right-click the virtual key and select set latch ->
current cue list to set the key to latch the current active cue list (if any, otherwise the option is
grayed out).
Assigning background cues - to assign a background cue to a latch key, open the list of background
cues and drag the cue list from the list to the appropriate key. Alternatively, right-click the virtual key
and select set latch -> current background cue to set the key to latch the current active
background cue (if any, otherwise the option is grayed out).
Assigning Hotkey functions - the hotkey functions are assigned to the latch keys in the same way as
they are assigned to the user keys. Open the list with functions by selecting Function-List from the
menu and drag the function from the list to the user key on the control. Note that "User Key only
functions" cannot be assigned to the matrix keys. See hotkey functions for details on individual
hotkey functions.
The Flash Keys
Assigning Sequences - the flash keys may be used to flash a sequence. To assign a sequence to a
flash key open the list of sequences and drag the sequence from the list to the appropriate key.
Alternatively, right-click the virtual key and select set flash -> current sequence to set the key to
flash the current sequence (if any, otherwise the option is grayed out).
Using the record function
As an alternative to selecting programs from a list, the record functions can be used to 'record' the
currently active program onto the matrix keys. The record function may enabled by clicking the
relevant button on the control (or assign the function to a user key). When the record function is
enabled the next key press on the 2532 will 'record' the active program (if any) onto the 2532 key.
Note that record cue, record cue list and record background cue options are mutually exclusive.
Clearing matrix keys
To clear one or more matrix keys, select the keys (hold the mouse button and drag to select multiple
buttons), right-click and select the Clear sub menu. Select Clear Latch Values or Clear Flash
Values to clear latch or flash values only. Select Clear Latch & Flash Values to clear both at the
same time.
Customizing text
Often the text for the user, latch and flash functions does not fit completely into the area representing
the button; it may be necessary to customize the text. To do this, right-click the button and select
Customize Text - make sure that only one button is selected before the right-click, otherwise the
option to customize text will be disabled. For the matrix buttons it is possible to customize both the
latch and flash text. Note that the custom text is cleared whenever a new program or function is
assigned.
