Hey James, I had a similar issue a few months back when I had a bunch of chases on subs and wanted them in my cue stack at various points during the show, I found a bit of a work around that might work for you to. If you change the trigger of the sub with the chase to 'latch' (I think its latch im not at my board right now) the sub will run the chase when its flash button is pressed and end it when pressed again. You can then create a macro that presses that flash button for you (and so start and stop your chase) this macro can then be fired from a cue. Hope this helps, like I say it worked for my show and was particularly helpful when I wanted to have two chases running at once and then take one of the chases away while keeping the other running, got a little confusing at times while I was programming but it worked a treat come the show. Hope this helps, John.

Hi Everyone, I am hoping someone can give me a few pointers as I seem to be having trouble copying my scenes created on submasters into the Memories. I have a bunch of subs that run chase using our conventional lighting (a load of pars and source fours) and I don’t seem to be able to copy these chases into the memories and I am now wondering if this is possible? I notice that the subject of copying from subs has come up before within the forum however the solutions suggested don’t seem to be working for me. Here is what I have tried so far. If I attempt to simply hit record (or shift record) the board records nothing into the cue. After checking that 'Smart Tag' is activated within the MFKs, it then seems to only record the last step of the case into the cue. Another approach I tried was to use the copy function, however it would seem that I am only able to copy from the memories to the subs and not the other way around. If anyone has any pointers I would be very grateful. Thanks John.
