Expression 3 - ETC

Steps
All subroutine steps are either cue steps or style steps. A cue step
contains an existing recorded cue, which may be an effect cue. The
subroutine lets you change levels and fade rates for the cue step without
changing the original cues.
A style step contains an instruction that controls the subroutine’s playback
pattern. This allows you to run loops, run bounces, pause the subroutine
until you press go, or end the subroutine and jump to any other cue. The
following display shows a subroutine that runs a series of cues in a loop.
Cue steps
The next two pages describe the types of cue and style steps that are
available.
There are three types of cue steps.
• Crossfade A crossfade step is a cue in which all increasing
levels fade in the upfade time and all decreasing
levels fade in the downfade time.
• Allfade An allfade step is a cue in which all channels in
both faders fade to a level that you choose and
assign to the step.
• Blocking A blocking step is a cue that first stops all
background cues from running before it runs in a
physical fader.
