Delay Time
Delay is used to stage the execution of parameter categories within a cue or cue part. The
countdown of a delay time begins the moment the cue is executed (for example, pressing [Go]).
Delay times can be added to any cue or to any specific parameter category within the cue, which
will postpone the parameter transition until the delay time has elapsed.
Following are some examples of recording with a delay:
• [Record] [2] [Delay] [5] [Enter] - stores cue 2 with a 5 second delay on intensity.
• [Record] [2] [Time] [9] [Delay] [3] [Enter] - records cue 2 with a 9 second upfade,
delayed from Go by 3 seconds.
• [Record] [2] [Time] [7] [Delay] [Enter] - records cue 2 with a 7 second upfade, and
removes a delay time on the upfade.
Delay can be useful when you do not want a parameter to change (i.e. intensity down) until other
changes have begun or completed their transition. Delay can be used to affect only the parameters
in the specified category.
• [Record] [2] [Color] [Delay] [8] [Enter] - records cue 2 with a delay time of 8 seconds
for the color category.
