Play back cues

Cues are stored in a Sequence. All sequence are stored in a sequence pool.

When a cue is active, then the sequence is active in the pool.

It is not possible to run a cue without playing back the sequence.

Executors are controls that allows for easy hands on play back of the sequences. Executors can playback or trigger other things than sequences as well.

Sequences does not need to be associated with an executor to play back cues.

 

Relevant playback commands

There are many keywords that can be used for playback operations. They are all listed using the Help command.

For sequence playback there are some very common keywords (read details about them by following the links):

• Go+
  Use this to trigger the next cue with a "Go" trigger or to specify a cue (Go+ Cue cue_number).
• Go-
  Use this to trigger the previous cue.
• Goto
  Use this command to go to a specific cue. The specified cue is triggered when the command is executed. Please note that this command also asserts tracked values, so the visual result can be different than a normal Go command.
• Load
  This is used to preload cues. The cue is then ready to be triggered via a Go+ command. Several cues in different sequences can be loaded and triggered together with the Go+ Loaded syntax.
• Pause
  Executing this command will pause all running fades, delays, and phasers. Effectively halting all values where they currently are. The fade and delay are resumed also using the Pause command.
• Top
  This keyword is used to trigger the first cue

But there are many more that can be useful.

These functions can be assign to executor keys for easy access (See how in the Assign Object to an Executor topic), but they can also always be sent directly to the sequence. For instance the following command can be used if you want to go to cue 4 in sequence 6:

The order of sequence and cue does not matter. So it could also be:

The system interprets it at the last example. The Command Line History window shows this responce:
