Congo Master Playbacks... Multiple Cue Stacks?

Hello, new to the forum and new to using the Congo. I'm having some teething problems with getting used to the controls as it's not like desks I have used in the past.

What I am looking to do is create Multiple Cue Stacks, and assign each Cue Stack to a Master Playback (instead of imputting a really complex/long winded Main Playback Cue Stack). If anyone could help me out I'd be very appreciative.

Also I've been messing around on the desk and experimenting with Groups. As far as I can figure out, there is no way of selecting multiple groups by purely using syntax. The only way I've learnt to do this is by assigning the Groups to a bank of Direct Select Buttons and holding the "+" Key while selecting the Groups.

 Many thanks.

  • to work with multi-sequences, make all sequences on playback.

    When you record the first preset of each sequence, in advanced Tab of record window don't tick "store all attributes" else your sequences will not independent !! 

    When you have finish the first sequence, load a new blank sequence with : N° **  [SEQ]+[Playback] and valid congo popup.

    after you can play your sequence with select key master like GO and fader like a master of sequence, if rubberband is active, master, work on intensity and attributes.

    if you want, I can send you a multi sequence show with devices to see how I use it.

     

    have a good time on congo

  • To select multiple groups with the keypad use the following syntax:

    # [Group] # ([Group] & [+])

    One useful tip when working with multiple playbacks is that you can record steps directly to Masters:

    • Ensure a Sequence is already loaded onto the relevant Master
    • Create a look
    • (#) [Record] & [Master Key]
    This is a 'rapid-fire' recording method primarily designed for building chases quickly, so it doesn't give you the same pop-up for recording options as recording onto the Main Playback, and instead uses the default (or last-used) settings for this.
