Deleting Cues
Cues, lists of cues, or ranges of cues can be deleted. When deleting cues, the track/cue only setting
of the console will determine how subsequent cues are affected. The [Cue Only/Track] button can
be used to modify the default behavior as needed.
In Track Mode
When the console is in track mode, deleting a cue also removes any move instructions provided by
the cue. For example, assume you have stored cues 1-10 and cue 5 contains move instructions for
channels 1-5. If cue 5 is deleted, the move instructions are deleted as well and the values from cue
4 will track directly into cue 6 and beyond.
In this instance, if you used the [Cue Only] button in the delete instruction, cue 5 would be deleted,
but the tracked values in cue 6 that originated in cue 5 would remain and be converted to move
instructions.
In Cue Only Mode
When the console is in cue only mode, any subsequent tracked values are not eliminated, but are
converted to move instructions instead.
In the example above, deleting cue 5 (in cue only mode) would result in any tracked values in cue
6, that originated in cue 5, being converted to move instructions.
If you apply the [Track] button to the delete instruction, the move instructions from cue 5 are
deleted and the values from cue 4 would then track into cue 6 and beyond.
Some examples of cue deletion are:
• [Delete] [5] [Enter] [Enter] - deletes cue 5. Subsequent cues in the list are affected
depending on the console default setting as described above.
• [Delete] [6] [Cue Only/Track] [Enter] [Enter] - deletes cue 6, making exception to the
default setting, as described above.
• [Delete] [7] [Part] [1] [Enter] [Enter] - deletes part 1 of cue 7.
• [Delete] [8] [Part] [1] [Thru] [3] [Cue Only/Track] [Enter] [Enter] - deletes parts 1-
3 of cue 8, making exception to the default setting, as described above.
• [Group] [1] [Delete] [2] [Enter] - deletes any channels in group 1 from cue 2. Cue 2
remains in the cue list and any channels not in group 1 are unaffected.
• [Delete] [2] [thru] [8] [Cue Only/Track] [Enter] [Enter] - deletes cues 2-8, making
exception to the default setting, as described above.
