Fader Status display
The fader status display consists of two windows located near the bottom
of the playback monitor. These are illustrated below.
Fader

Upfade information
or effect fade times
Downfade
information
or effect step
The fader status display provides information about the cues loaded to the
console’s faders, including fade times and rates. The left window
monitors the A/B fader; the right window monitors the C/D fader. The
display counts down wait times for cues and indicates which step is
running when an effect is active.
Selecting cues
There are many ways that you can determine which cue will play next on
stage, including the following.
• You can select a cue from the keypad and press [Go].
• Press [Go] without selecting a cue. The console will play either the
next cue in the Cue List or the cue linked to the cue that played last.
See Link, page 94.
• Run a macro that contains a command to play a particular cue.
• Run a subroutine that contains a list of cues to be played
automatically.
• Program a cue with Follow (see Follow, page 95). After you run the
cue that has been set with a Follow command, the next cue in
sequence (or a linked cue) runs automatically.
• Press [Go] while a loop constructed with Link and Follow commands
is running. A non-loop cue will be played in accordance with rules
explained in Create playback loops with Link and Follow, page 96.
You must be in either the Stage or the Fader displays to select cues to play
back, but you can run a selected cue from Blind as well as Stage or Fader.
You see the cue running on the command monitor in the Stage and Fader
displays.
