All these options are described in Playback Options.

Fader Tab

Fader Mode

SettingAction
Fader Mode Intensity Kill With OffThe fader masters the overall HTP level and the cue list remains active (connected) even when the fader is lowered to zero.
Fader Mode Intensity Kill At 0The fader masters the overall HTP level and the cue list is killed when the fader is lowered to zero.
Manual CrossfaderThe fader behaves as a manual crossfade control, and the cue list will automatically step on to the next cue when the fader reaches the top or bottom of travel.

Effects Tab

All these options are described in Playback Options.

Release Tab

Release Mask and Release Time are described in the Playback Options.

Cue Release

Allows you to create an overlay cue list with gaps in it where the fixtures will return to their previous state. For example you could create a cue list where every alternate cue sets the fixtures to white, with the in between cues being blank. If this option is on, the fixtures will bump to white then return to the colour set from a previous look.

Renumber all cues

Allows you to renumber the cue list if the numbering has got mixed up after lots of editing. This is only available on the softkey options, not the touch window.

Cue Options

This option allows you to change settings for each cue in the cue list. To select the cue number to edit, use the Wheel A or press  softkey A then enter the cue number on the numeric keypad.

  • Curve allows you to set a different fade curve for the cue; this affects how the fade progresses from one cue to the other *(for example you can select a fade which starts off slow, speeds up in the middle and then slows down at the end)*. Press Curve then select a new curve from the softkeys. The effect of the various curves is described in [Curves](/docs/12.0/system-settings/curves).
