Cues Not Fading


Nathan Bell

Recommended Posts

None of the cues in my OrbXF are fading.  

 

It's been unused for a couple of years, and when I powered it up I got a warning about a battery needing to be replaced?  Would a dead internal battery cause cues to not fade at all?  

 

Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Nathan,

Is the Speed Override fader at 50%? This is the fader that can change the speed of your cue transitions, which is the right-hand fader in the Master Playback section. If this is at full, your cues will snap.

Update - I re-read your explanation and put it at 50%.  That did the trick.  Thanks for your help with this issue.

Nathan - it would be a good idea to replace the battery as the memory on the mainboard is used to save patch & show data & is usually run direct from the battery when the desk isn't powered up so with a failing battery, you'll find that you'll need to reload shows each time you power the desk on.

The battery doesn't take long to swap - from memory it's a CR2032 - the most time will be opening the case to access the battery.
