Cues
So you've set up a great look on the stage, and you want to save it to use in your show.
There are four ways of recording your lighting on Titan.
Cue: This is a single look. It may contain movement in the form of
shapes, and have fade in and fade out times.
Chase: This is a timed sequence of cues, often used for an
individual effect.
Cue List: This is a linked sequence of cues, usually used to store
and replay an entire show or an element of a show from a "go" button.
Timeline: This is a timed sequence of playbacks which would usually be used to
replay a complex cue sequence to a piece of recorded music or a timecoded show.
Chases, Cue Lists and Timelines are covered in more detail in the following chapters.
When a Cue, Chase or Cue List is stored on a control, the control is called a Playback. You can store in several places:
On any fader handle - the fader controls the intensity of fixtures (you can make the fader control other things using playback Options).
On a Virtual fader in the Virtual faders window on the touchscreen. This works exactly like a physical fader.
On a touch button in the Playbacks window - you can set whether the button latches or flashes the cue using Key Profiles
On a Macro/Executor button - again you can use Key Profiles to set latch or flash
If you run out of faders to store playbacks, USB-connected fader wings are available for all consoles to add more faders.
Titan's cue functions are very powerful; the first part of this section explains the basics of how the console uses cues.
