Cue sequencing
One of the simplest methods of creating a sequence is to programme a
number of cues and then assigning the cues to sequence steps; this is
often called chasing the cues.
Creating a cue sequence
 Programme a number of different cues using the procedures
detailed on page 46.
 From the root menu, call up the sequence screen on the main LCD
by pressing seq, enter the required sequence number and press
next.
 Put the cue fader up (output the cue) of the cue that has be the
first step of your sequence.
 Press the store lamps button to store the cue as a reference in the
sequence step.
 Put the fader down.
 Repeat the previous three as required to fully programme the
sequence.
 To mark the end of the sequence, press the end soft button.
HELPFUL HINT
You can change the sequence steps by changing the used cues in the
sequence.
Modifying a sequence
It will often be necessary to modify some of the programmed sequence
steps to change one, or more of the lamp(s) attributes. This is easily
achieved by using the fold/unfold function.
 From the root menu, call up the sequence screen on the main LCD
by pressing seq, enter the required sequence number and press
next.
 The main LCD will now be showing the sequence store screen,
press the soft button labelled [Fold].
Seq: 1 {Seq 1 } Length: 0
Step: 1 Contents: Empty
Space: 97.39%
<< Unfolded [Fold] [End]
 This will cause the sequence steps be “unfolded” onto the cue
playback faders. Sequence step 1 will be on Cue fader 1,
sequence step 2 will be on Cue fader 2 etc, etc. This will continue
for all of the steps you have in your sequence. If your sequence
contains more than 18 steps you will need to use the Cue page
buttons to move the remaining steps of your sequence onto the
Cue faders.
 The sequence steps can now be modified in exactly the same way
as you would as if you were modifying cues (see page 47).
When you have completed your modifications press the soft button
labelled [Fold], the sequence will be “folded” and the cue faders will now
return to their normal function.
