Change behaviour of master cue list fader?

[drscoop]

Hi,

Is there a way of assigning the master cue fader to control the cue stack intensity, instead of releasing the cue list and returning to cue 1?  

I have a scene where I would like to repeatedly fade out the cue list to blackout, busk an impromptu section, then fade back to the prior state.  I could insert a blackout cue, bring up the other cues on the playback faders, then swap back, but I need to do this several times in quick succession, and just dropping the fader would be helpful...

Or is there another clever way around this?

Thanks, as always, for answering all these questions!

Hello,

To do this, hold SETUP and tap the Master Playback’s button to enter its settings. Then tap Raise and Lower, and Disable Release On Lower. This means when you lower the fader, the cue stack won’t release, and you’ll stay left in the current cue. Click OK to save the settings. 

To manually release the playback, you can then hold CLEAR and tap the Go button. 

Hope this helps, if you have any queries let me know.
