Main fader pair - Manual override

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to find out how to manually override the programmed times in a cuelist on the main fader pair. The cue in question is not set to manually.  I tried this on the Nomad software on my PC.

regards

    Hi Anne,
    thanks for your reply! However I don't get it. I'm trying this here with a Nomad PC v2.2.1 and when I bring the pair of faders down to zero - the both move together - the intensity of the cue list goes to zero. When hitting GO, the next cue fades in in the programmed time, still with intensity at zero until I rise the faders.
    I'm sure I'm overseen here something obvious, but what?

    ah. Sorry. There are a couple of ways to do this. The behavior described above works when the fader is set to proportional. The faders can only be set to zero to preset for manual overrride in this mode. When using proportional mode, content is released to the playback when the cue is complete, allowing resetting for manual override. If you are using I-Master mode, the intensity is maintained under the control of the fader even when the cue is complete. If you are using I-Master mode, another way to do it is use Go to Cue X Time Manual (SK) - this puts Cue X into the active playback, and now the faders, when set to zero, control the transition.

    Or you can set manual timing in your cue or set the playback to manual mode ----

    You only need to worry about the right fader if the cue is recorded as a split fade. Otherwise, all content is controlled by the left fader.

    Hope that helps.

    Anne,
    thanks again. But your answer leads straight to the next question: Is it possible and if so where to set the main fader pair to proportinal? I have found it for the submasters, but not for the masters.
    Nice idea the Go to Cue X Time Manual Syntax...
    I'm checking this for a customer who thinks about replacing his Compulite desk with ETC stuff. On the Compulite it seems that you just have to move the faders... (I'm not at all a Compulite guy). So I would like to suggest the easiest and the solution with the lowest button-presses...

    From Live, enter the list number (e.g. [Cue] [1] [/]. The soft keys will change to the list options. Cue Lists default to proportional control, but if it has been changed, you can press the SK labeled Fader. This steps you through three options - Proportional, I-Master and Manual. Press enter when the desired mode is on the command line. You can double-hit the Cue button to enter the Cue List Index. This gives you a table view of the properties set for all cue lists (similar to the Sub List display).  You can also edit list properties from this display.
    Thanks!
