Table of contents of this topic

The Speed key allows you to set the running speed in chasers and effects. To learn more about Chasers, please have a look at What are Chasers and How to use Chasers.

Pressing the Speed key gives you the Learn command

If you have a Chaser or an effect, then you can press and hold the Speed key while you tap any of the keys associated with the Executor whit the Chaser. This will set the chasers running speed to the BPM of your taps. 

Speed masters

The Speed key can also be used to create two Special Masters.

Press Store Speed and then a key on the executor where you want the Master.

This will open a window like this:

Figure 1: Select Speed Master type window.
 

A Master Speed fader can be used to dynamically adjust the speed used by Chasers and Effects stored in cues..

A Master Rate fader can be used to dynamically adjust the timing of the cues.

Read more details about these two masters in the Magic Speed view.

These two speed faders can be enabled or disabled for each executor. It can be adjusted in the Settings of Executor.
