The cue list control

The cue list control is opened by clicking on the cue list tool bar. A cue list consists of a

number lines containing of commands that are used to execute cues in a pre-defined order from top to

bottom. The cue list may be driven manually (using a 'Go' to advance the cue list), by 'elapsed

time' (using a specific wait time), by PC-Clock (24 hour clock) or by external time code in form of

time code from Audio CD, Digital audio or video (e.g. MP3 or MPG files) or MIDI time code and

SMPTE. The cue list has two states, the passive edit state and the active playback state. When

active, the contents of the cue list is locked and cannot be modified.

The cue list control, edit mode

The cue list control

The cue list control consists of 3 parts, the cue list itself (with lines containing commands and various

functions), the edit panel below the cue list and the command panel to the right of the cue list. The

edit and command panels may be hidden (from the preferences/view menu); an option, which may be

handy to save space on the desktop once the cue list has been programmed.

The cue list

The cue list it self is represented by a list of lines that may one of a number of 'active' or 'passive'

commands. Active commands are commands that, for example, instructs the CD-ROM drive to play a

certain track, while a passive command could be a wait command, that simply waits until a certain

condition is met - e.g. the time code has passed 1:00:00. Each line may also contain an instruction

to latch or trig sequences in a cue.

Cue list columns

L # - cue list line number

Adv - advance method (manual or automatic)

Command - contains the command for the line, for example a wait command
