Modifying Cues Live
Recorded cues can be modified live. Cue attributes (such as link, loop, label and so on) may be
edited as well. The cue does not need to be active (played back) to change cue attributes. You may
also change cue attributes for a range of cues if you wish.
Using [At] [Enter]
A useful feature when editing cues is [At] [Enter]. This is a simple feature which allows you to
select any channel or parameter, or several of them, and remove their move instructions, allowing
the value from the previous cue to be manually recalled.
[At] [Enter] is essentially a “recall from the previous cue” command; it completely removes a move
instruction and any manual data, and replaces it with the value from the previous cue.
For Example:
Cue 5 is active in Live.
• [Group] [1] [Focus] [At] [Enter]
This command lifts the current move instructions for Group 1 focus, and recalls the focus
data for those lights from the immediately preceding cue. It is now manual, and can be
stored or updated as required.
You may also use [At] [Enter] to affect only certain channels or parameters by selecting them
specifically:
• [2] [At] [Enter] - this will remove the changes for channel 2 only.
• [2] [Color] [At] [Enter] - this will remove only the color data changes for channel 2.
• [2] [Thru] [5] [+] [9] [+] [1] [1] [Thru] [1] [5] [-] [1] [2] [-] {Zoom} [At] [Enter]- removes
the changes for only the selected channels for all parameters except zoom.
Using Record
You may modify a cue by rerecording it entirely. After making changes to channels or parameters:
• [Record] [Enter] [Enter] - will replace any data in the active cue with the current stage
settings.
• [Record] [Cue] [x] [Enter] [Enter] - will replace the any data in cue “x” with the current
stage values.
Note:
Using [Record] will record all parameters of all non-default channels onstage.
This means that all other cue data and submaster data will be included in the
record action.
This is a common method when working with a single cue list. When working with
multiple cue lists or submasters, [Record Only] is a useful tool.
