What are chasers

Chasers are cue list that have a special mode.

In this mode the cue list will disregard the stored timing and then it runs all the cues one after the other.

Since it's not using the cue timings it runs using a set speed. The standard speed is 60 Beats Per Minute (BPM). This means that it runs 60 steps or cues per minute.

Chaser can have different running modes. The standard mode is endless loop. This will loop the cue list until you stop it. The other modes are Shoot-Off and Shoot-On. What they do is running the cue list once. The Shoot-Off then turns off the chaser when it reaches the last cue. The Shoot-On stops or pauses the chaser when it reaches the last cue.

One of the other settings you can change on chasers is the running direction. The standard is forward. Other options are Backwards, Bounce and Random. Bounce will run forward until you reach the last step and then it will run backwards until it reaches the first step, run forward again, and so on, and so on. Random will run the steps in a completely random order.

To learn how to make and run Chaser have a look at the How to work with Chasers.
