Storing a Multipart Cue in Blind
Note:
Changing a Single Part Cue to a Multipart Cue
When working in blind, more often than not you will be breaking a single part cue into a multipart
cue. It is quite possible to create a new cue in blind and follow the exact same process, except in
addition to pulling channel parameters into parts, you will also be providing them with move
instructions or block commands. It is worth noting that tracked instructions do not belong to any
specific part of a multipart cue.
Select the cue you wish to break apart and specify the first part you wish to create. Part 1 is
generally where the body of the cue resides. Therefore, if you specify any part other than part 1, all
of the move instructions in the cue are placed in part 1.
Begin by selecting any channels that you wish to move into some part other than part 1.
• [1] [Thru] [5] [Part] [2] [Enter]
• [6] [Thru] [1] [0] {Intensity} [Part] [3] [Enter]
• [6] [Thru] [1] [0] {Color} [Part] [4] [Enter] - and so on.
As you create each part, that part is now selected. It is possible to select the channel parameter you
want and press [Part] [Enter] to pull that data into the selected part.
Note:
Edits in blind take effect immediately, they do not require a [Record] or [Update]
command.
When breaking a cue into a multipart cue in blind, the [Part] button is a required
instruction. Channel selection will not automatically assign a channel into a part.
Use of the [Part] key allows you to add only specific channel parameters to the
part. For example:
• [5] [Thru] [9] {Color} [Part] [Enter]
Changing a Multipart Cue to a Standard Cue
To change a multipart cue to a standard cue, delete all of the parts of the cue.
For Example:
Cue 4 is a 3 part cue that include channels 1 through 20. To change cue 4 back to a
standard single cue:
• [Delete] [Part] [1] [Thru] [3] [Enter]
Deleting a Part from a Multipart Cue
When you delete parts of a multipart cue, any move instructions in the deleted part are moved to the
first available part. If you want to delete move instructions out of a cue part, you have to select the
channels and [At] [Enter] or null them.
• [Delete] [1] [Part] [1] [Enter] [Enter]
• [Delete] [6] [Part] [1] [Cue Only/Track] [Enter] [Enter]
• [Delete] [Part] [1] [+] [2] [Enter] [Enter]
• [Delete] [Part] [1] [thru] [3] [Enter] [Enter]
