Ion Effects on Subs

When you copy the data to a sub at the moment, we throw the effect data away.  So, it doesn't help you to put in a cue first and then try to move to a sub.  Effects stored on subs (either directly or via a copy instruction) is added in 1.5 (March release).   At the moment, you'll need to continue building a single cue - cue list.

As Ion has a direct 1-to-1 sub map, you can release the faders on the wing from subs (release/load) and put your extra cue lists there.  It'll become easier in 1.5...

Hope this helps.

Thanks Anne,

I thought I had read that it was possible to call the seperate cue stack from a submaster.  If that's not possible, is it possible to trigger a cue from a macro that's linked to a sub?  That seems like it's two steps away from what I want to do, but I'm trying to set up the console for a student operator who has no experience in running live theatre, and to trust them to effectively load the proper cue list and execute the effect, then step back into the main cue list is a bit of a stretch.

Unfortunately can't wait for 1.5, as the show goes up next week.  The Ion is working very well, other than this glitch...

thanks,

phil

Have you tried this?

What I have been doing is releasing all of the subs on the lower half of my fader wing and loading all of the cue lists on there. That way I have my main stack in the master fader and any additional stacks on the subs. If you need to revert back and forth I have my students hit the select key under the fader to use it as a back.
