4 - 28 MicroVision FX
Controlling fades manually
MicroVision FX allows you to take manual control of cues as they play. If
your show slows down or speeds up, you can take manual control of
fade rates to account for variances in performances.
If faders are set at 10 (100 percent) when you start a cue, cues playback
with recorded fade times.
When you set the faders lower than 10, the cue runs until it reaches the
fader level setting. Fades stop, and you have manual control of fade
progress. To establish manual control of a fade from the beginning of a
cue, set faders at zero before you press [Go].
If you start a cue and the performance runs behind, push the slide faders
down to establish manual control of the fade progress. Now you can
push the faders up or down to finish the cue at a rate appropriate for the
performance.
Hint: If you start a cue, and the performers skip ahead to the next cue,
you can move ahead to the next cue by pressing [Go] to interrupt the
current cue and begin the next one. However, if you need the current
cue to reach its full level settings, push the slides down and then back
up to 10 immediately. Then press [Go] to start the next cue.
Control of linked cues
When you play back linked cues, the left fader in each fader pair controls
intensity levels; the right fader controls the playback rate. When you
begin a linked cue with the right fader at 10, MicroVision FX plays it back
at the recorded rate. To take control of the playback rate, move the fader
to 50 percent. Then move the fader up or down to adjust rate; 10 is
instantaneous playback through steps or cues, and 0 stops playback.
If right fader is set at anything other than 10 when you start the linked
cues or effects play back at the rate set on the fader.
