Hi
Sorry it has taken me so long to respond guys; these tips really helped, especially Thierry's hint that the GO(SNAP) PB button mapping was the way to go which suits the way I want to use the desk - this is not very intuitive, as I'd already tried several other button mappings, including the superficially similar GO(FADE), which doesn't seem to do what I want. The load method also seems to work, but I am not sure I really understand what LOAD does, as it appears to merge whatever you have currently active on the desk with the tagged value of the loaded cue, instead of replacing everything with the programmed level - at least that's what I think it does; every intensity level stored in the retrieved cue turn red, but anything not in the loaded cue stays at the same level and the same colour (as an aside, the colours for the intensity levels on the output window are very badly covered in the manual). Note that I am working in non tracking mode at the moment, so I am expecting every loaded cue to replace every dimmer and fixture setting).
Thanks, I think I have enough information now to get the desk to do what I want, but it's been a bit of an uphill battle!
Tom
