Artist Help:Create a cue with a dimmer chase

A simple cue with a Chase

This example is much the same as the Simple Cue example only this includes chase effects on the fixture dimmer parameter.

• Select all the fixtures and set the preset levels from the Fixture Control Toolbar.

• Now right-click the dimmer and select 'Zero Level'. This will zero the levels on all the dimmer channels.

• Open the Fixture Chase control. You will see Dimmer in the list.

• Double-click in the 'On' column at the Dimmer row. This will activate a chase with default settings. You will see the dimmer chasing.

• Set the speed of the chase.

You can also explore some of the other settings such as trigger, direction and pattern.

Now store this as a 'New Cue'.

Adjusting the rate

If you now activate this cue in the Cue List you will see the chase that you created. If you now double-click the cue to display its control panel you can use the rate control to proportionally alter the rate of any contained chases, effects or scenes.
