Multipart Cues

Cues can be divided into up to 20 parts. Each part can have its own channels or parameters, levels, and timing information. Multipart cues can be stored in Live or Blind using the same conventions to record a standard cue.

There are three basic ways to create a multipart cue:

• Building a multipart cue part-by-part in Live
• Breaking an existing cue into multipart cues in Live
• Breaking an existing cue apart in Blind.

Multipart cues can be used to organize automated fixture data so that you can apply different times to different moves (focus moves slowly, but color snaps after a short delay). You can also use multipart cues instead of many individual cues triggered by wait times to create a series of fades.

A channel or parameter can only be provided an instruction once in a multipart cue. For example, it isn't possible to adjust color for channel 1 in cue 1 part 1 and then also provide a different instruction for channel 1 color in cue 1 part 8.

Default part timing is drawn from the cue level timing defaults established in Setup ( see Cue Settings); you may also assign discrete timing to channels in each part as you would for a single part cue.
