GeniusPro/Lightpalette Operator's Manual - Strand Lighting

Recording Cues
When a cue is run, all of its parts are run together. If you record a channel in a cue part that
has already been recorded in another part of the same cue, the new level (latest recorded
level) is used for the channel. Cue wait times, macros, links/loops and commands apply only to
the cue as a whole, but separate delay times and profiles can be used on each part. If a cue is
referenced without specifying a part, part 1 is assumed.
Cross Fade, Block, and All Fade cues can only have one part (numbered 1) since otherwise all
parts would have all channels and the last one would over-ride all previous parts. Parts are
always Move Fades (GeniusPro) or Tracking Cues (Lightpalette)
Recording Cue Levels
[RECORD] [*] records the levels (intensity levels and attribute levels) on the current display
into the current cue.
[CUE] # [RECORD] [RECORD] (Direct Digit Modes)
[RECORD] [CUE] # [*] (Command Line Mode)
Records the levels on the current display (the Live, Cue/Preview, Group, Effect, or Submaster
display) into the specified cue. For information on setting intensity and attribute levels, refer to
Working With Channel Levels . For examples of recording, refer to Basic Recording.
Note: . When you set channel levels in the Preview display with Cue Tracking on, you can set
them off (chans [@] {OFF} [*]) or set them to zero (chans [@] [0] [*]). When set off, levels
track through from previous cues. When set to 0, levels are forced to zero in the cue. Thus you
can set levels off in a Cross Fade (Blocking Cue) to make individual channels track through the
cue, or at zero in a Move Fade (Tracking Cue) to block individual channels. When you record
from the Live display with the Cue Tracking field in the Show Setup display set ON, channels
at zero are set to zero level in the cue only if they change from the previous cue. Otherwise
they are recorded Off and channel levels can track through from the previous cue in later
editing

For GeniusPro, recording a new cue sets it as a Cross Fade when Tracking is off or a
Move Fade when Tracking is on unless otherwise specified. Recording over an existing
cue does not change the fade type unless you explicitly change it.
For Lightpalette, All new cues are Tracking Cues unless you explicitly specify that they
should be Block Cues or All Fade Cues. Recording over an existing cue does not
change the cue type unless you explicitly change it.
