Which Cue Buttons...???

Post by Goochie »

Hi Guys,
I have created lots of sequences all 99 steps( changed in Prog files, Great facility)
What I want to do now is be able to play them on the road easily. Have them added to 'Cue' and 'cuelist buttons' But 'cuelist buttons' only plays 1st step? is this correct or am I getting it wrong somewhere?

What I would like, is that all we see on screen is a set of buttons one for each sequence. Is this Possible? Is it in 'submasters' if so how do I load such buttons.?

So far only way I can see of playing full sequence (all steps) is in 'Cue' window, buttons on far left of screen.

Hope you can understand what I am trying to achieve......

Many Thanks again

Goochie.

Buttons only play the first step in a scene, so they can only be used for some fixed operations, like manual blinder flash, strobes, etc.
The only way to play complete scene's is via the Cue list, like you have found out. (Keyboard keys can be assigned, or midi controllable)
FreeStyler has also a "Touchscreen" interface. It does not matter if you have one or not, if you like the layout, just use it with your mouse.
See FreeStyler->Setup->External control->Touchscreen

As Remco said the buttons do only play the first scene.

If you want to use submasters I have listed the steps below....

Clear the cuelist and then add in the sequencies you want.

then save the cuelist

on submaster page click open cue and drag the file to one of the five subs.

You can assign keyboard buttons (or touchscreen, midi) to move up, down and select on the submasters .

Have a look at my sample show setup, it may help you to understand what you cal really do with subs. http://www.freestylersupport.com/fsforu ... =58&t=1394
