Running a show

The set list, GO and Back, follow in beats, Release, Hard blackout, and the Now panel.

Do this

  1. GO in screen 1's footer plays the next step of the set list. Back steps one back. Keys G and Shift + G.
  2. Pick a list: tap the set list name in the footer. It also reads the step on stage, like 1/8 TINY ROOM.
  3. Build or change a list on screen 2: tap Set list next to Presets. Tap photos to add steps. Drag a step number to reorder.
  4. Each step has a Fade and a Follow: Off, Beats or Seconds. With Follow set, the next step plays by itself and GO counts down.
  5. Go to this step jumps there. Stop list stops the list. The lights stay as they are.
  6. A mood tap takes over. It stops a running timeline. The footer reads Stopped, then the new mood.
  7. Blackout: hold Blackout or B for 0.7 s. The stage goes dark and everything keeps running. Tap it again, now Release, to bring it back at your fade.
  8. Hard blackout, in the Desk menu: tap, then tap again. It stops the timeline, drops every look and hand edit. Undo brings it back.
  9. NOW on screen 2 names the step on stage. With a list loaded, the line under it reads Next: DROP on GO, or Next: DROP in 12 s when Follow is set.
  10. Now on screen 2: one level slider per look on stage. Solo puts one look at full and the rest at 0, still live. Off drops a look.
