Operating the Cue function
This section explains how to use the [CUE] key for a channel or DCA group to monitor cue
signals.
NOTE
The cue signal is sent to the same output destination as the monitor signal. Be aware that for this
reason, the cue signal will not be sent to the connected monitor speakers if you turn off the
Monitor function. However, the PHONES Out jack below the front pad will always output cue
signals regardless of the Monitor on/off setting. See “Using the Monitor function” (page 114) for
details about the Monitor function.
NOTE
The cue signal is sent to the monitor output and PHONES Out jacks regardless of whether the
CUE OUTPUT button is on or off. However, the cue signal will no longer be sent to monitor output
if CUE INTERRUPTION is turned off. The cue signal is always sent to the PHONES Out jack,
regardless of the CUE INTERRUPTION setting.
When using the MIX/MATRIX bus select buttons in the SENDS ON FADER window, you can
press the selected button once again to turn on Cue for the corresponding MIX/MATRIX channel
(page 46).
If you want cue operations and channel select operations to be linked, open the USER SETUP
window, choose the PREFERENCE tab, and then turn on [CUE] [SEL] LINK (page 229).
You can also assign the function of the CLEAR CUE button to a USER DEFINED key (page 230).
If PHONES LEVEL LINK (page 115) in the MONITOR screen is ON, the cue signal level when
monitoring through headphones can be adjusted using both the MONITOR LEVEL knob and the
PHONES LEVEL knob.
To adjust the level to the output destination port for the cue signal, adjust the gain of the output
port that is patched to it.
If you turn on the [CUE] key or the CUE button on the display, the CUE meter is displayed in the
Function Access Area, indicating the CUE output level. The upper part of the cue meter shows
an abbreviation indicating the currently-on cue group or cue button. The abbreviations displayed
for the cue meters have the following meaning.
STEP
1. In the Function Access Area, press the MONITOR button.
2. Press the CUE display button or the INPUT/DCA/OUTPUT CUE field in the MONITOR
screen.
3. Use the CUE MODE button in the CUE screen to specify what will happen when
multiple [CUE] keys within the same CUE group are turned on.
4. Use the buttons and knobs of the INPUT CUE/DCA CUE/OUTPUT CUE field to specify
the output position and output level for each CUE group.
5. Press one of the CUE OUT PATCH buttons (L/R) in the meter field to specify a port
as the output destination for cue signals L and R (multiple selections are allowed).
6. Press the [CUE] key of the channel or DCA group to be monitored to turn it on.
7. Adjust the Cue signal level by using the [MONITOR LEVEL] knob located in the
SCENE MEMORY/MONITOR section of the top panel.
8. To defeat cue, press the currently-on [CUE] key once again. To clear all cue
selections, press the CLEAR CUE button in the Meter field.
