Cue Playback 225
Using Stop Effect
The {Stop Effect} softkey can be used to stop all effects from operating on any or all faders, or it
may be used with the control keypad to stop a specific effect.
• To stop all effects on a fader, press [Fader Controls] {Stop Effect} & [Load] of the
associated fader.
• To stop a specific effect regardless of the fader it is operating on, press [Effect] [2] [Fader
Controls] {Stop Effect} [Enter].
When an effect is stopped, all impact of the effect is removed and the stage output is as though the
effect has never been activated.
Releasing Content From a Fader
There are a few ways to release content from a playback fader:
• [Fader Control] {Off} + [Load] - returns control to the background fader, either a cue or a
submaster, and stops any effects that are running on that fader. If there is no background
value, the intensities will just fade out.
• [Fader Control] {Release} + [Load] - behaves like {Off} + [Load] except that it sets the
pending cue to the first cue in the list and removes the active cue.
• [Shift] + [Load] - behaves like {Release} + [Load] except that it removes the content entirely
from the fader. Pressing [Shift] + [Load] on an empty playback fader will unmap the fader.
Using Rate Override
To collect a playback fader for rate control, press [Fader Controls] {Rate} & [Load] for the required
fader. When {Rate} is pressed without [Load], it always collects the master fader for rate control. A
subset of faders can be collected by pressing and holding {Rate} while clicking the [Load] button
for the associated faders you would like to add. When no faders are under rate control, pressing
[Rate] collects the master fader for rate override.
Use the rate encoder to adjust the rate dynamically. The default is 100%, which is real time
(example: 5 seconds = 5 seconds). Decrease the percentage to slow the cue down. Setting the rate
to 0% will stop the cue. Increase the percentage to speed up the event.
Following are some examples of rate:
• A 50% decrease rate applied to a 5 second event will play the cue in 10 seconds.
• A 200% increase rate applied to a 5 second event will play the cue in 2.5 seconds.
The top rate adjustment is 2000%. All timing values associated with a cue (including any follow or
hang times) are affected by the rate modification proportionally.
If a cue is complete, any rate adjustment applied affects the cue in the pending file. When that cue
is subsequently activated, the adjusted rate is used to direct timing. Pressing {Rate} again will turn
rate control off and reset to 100%
N o t e : Associated pending and current cues will remain when using {Off} + [Load].
Pressing [Go] will run the cues in their current sequence.
N o t e : The [Go To Cue] [Out] command can be used to clear out all background LTP
fader values.
