Chase

Ok am i being really thick here, Ive made my chase in a new seq. I've had to make this up myself without using the wizard function because of the way I wanted this look. Right I have the chase on seq 10 presset 801  to 810 (as its a 10 point chase) and im running my show on seq 1 preset 1 onwards.

At the moent Im having to trigger the chase off a Master sub because I carnt really see a way of building my scene then sticking my 10 part chase over this. Its been a long week and Im really starting to lose my rag now.

Please somebody help before my beloveded Congo goes flying out of the window in frustration :P

 

Thanking you Carlos

  • Hi Carl,

    You are right that you can only run your chase from a master. What I think you are searching for is a way to trigger your chase from your main sequence. This is easy to do.
    You can create a master link into your main sequnece that triggers the chase. The master link will do the same as you would by taking up the fader or pressing START & Master_key.

    To create the master link, go to the step in your main sequnece where you want to turn on the chase. Then enter # INSERT & Master_key. Where # is the target level where you want the master to fade to. If you want it at full enter 100. And Master_key is the assign key of the master where your chase is.

    Then in the step where you want the chase to go away, enter 0 INSERT & Master_key. This will take the master to zero.

    To see/edit the master links go to the sequence list of your main sequnece and you'll see a column Master Links, pressing Modify in that column for the focused step will open the Master Link list where you can edit the master links settings.

    If you want the chase to fade in/out, you need to set a time for the master. Just press # TIME & Master_key. Please note that the time information for the master is also stored into the Master link. So enter the time for the master before you create the master link.
    When a step with a Master link is loaded into the B-field, it will load the correct content to the master (including timing) that will be triggered with the next GO.

    Hope this makes sence to you.

    Not really a chase question, but a master link question, since it came up. In a play I just finished, I used the master link to trigger a channel up/wait/down to send info to my Keystroke to trigger sound cues. My problem was that everytime the step triggered the master it then blanked out the master until I master paged up and then down again. I found that in the sequence list the Master Page link was set to 0, so everytime I linked a cue to a master it then sent the Master Page to 0. After playing around with this, I found that when I changed the linking to Master Page 1it linked the page automatically and everything worked fine. My question is--is there a way to blank out the Master Page link in the Sequence editor so steps don't trigger the Master Page at all? Thanks, J. R. Lidgett Salina Community Theatre

    Setting the Master page link on the sequence step to 0 will disable the automatic master page change, just like you want.

    What you are seing sounds more like a behaviour of the Master Link itself. For convenience, we designed master links in such a way that when the master is pulled back to 0 from a master link command, the content get cleared to avoid having master content that was used by master links hanging around. There is no way to turn off this behaviour right now.

    Please note that with Master Links, you can load any type of data into a master and that this isn't connected to the master page content for that master at all. However, it may be a good idea to restore the recorded master page content to the master instead of clearing it. We should probably consider this.
