Setting Multipart Cue Attributes

Cue attributes, such as [Time], [Delay], [Block], [Assert], [Label], [Rate], [Mark], and
{AutoMark Off} can be assigned in part cues. They are stored and function exactly as they do in
single part cues.

Cue part attributes can be defined as the parts are recorded, or they can be added after the part has
been created. For example:

• [Record] [Cue] [2] [Part] [1] [Delay] [8] [Enter]

• [Cue] [4] [Part] [3] {Color} [Time] [6] [Enter]

• [Cue] [8] [Part] [9] {AutoMark Off} [Enter]

• [Record Only] [Cue] [5] [Part] [2] [Assert] [Enter]

Using Update in Live

Updating a multipart cue is generally the same process as updating a single part cue, except you
will provide a specific part cue number in the update command.

Various referenced data, such as palettes or presets, can be assigned to build a multipart cue. If
you have made changes to referenced data within a multipart cue, thereby creating manual data,
pressing [Update] [Enter] updates both the multipart cue and any referenced data with the new
levels, as it does with single part cues.

You can update a part of a multipart cue with only selected parameters as well.

For Example:

Assume you have written cue 1, which is a multipart cue and is active. Part 2 includes

channels 1 through 5 referencing intensity palette 2 which is set at 25%. Select channels 1

through 5 and change the intensity value to 21%. The data in live will indicate the new levels

in red, and an “R” is displayed to indicate the reference has been broken.

To update cue 1 part 2, including the new intensity levels, breaking the reference to the

intensity palette, press:

[1] [Thru] [5] {Make Absolute} [Enter]

[Update] <1> [Part] [2] [Enter]

To update cue 1 part 2 and the referenced palette with the new levels:

[1] [Thru] [5] [Intensity] [Update] <1> [Part] [2] [Enter]

For Example:

When cue 2 is active, select channels 1 through 5 and set new levels for the color scrollers.

Update only part 4 of the multipart cue 2 with the new scroller levels.

[1] [Thru] [5] [Scroller] [Update] [Part] [4] [Enter]
