In programming a show this pst week on the ION, I ran into a lack of ability I was used to on the Express boards. Previously I had been able to apply an wait time to the up fade of a cue. However when I tried doing this with delay on the ION, it would delay the whole cue. I was successful applying a wait to the down time only but never solely to the up time. Is there an easy work around for this other than creating multiple cues and linking them with follows?
ionCorrect me if I'm wrong, but hasn't most of the common Obsession / [Slash] syntax been replaced by multiple key strokes on the time and delay buttons due to the fact that we now have so many parameters that can have timings attributed too.
So the the first press of the delay key will be a delay on the enitre cue.
So [Cue] <cue number> [Delay] <time> [Enter] will delay the entire cue by the time entered.
If you press Delay twice, it turns from Delay to Down Delay. Press a third time, focus delay. Fourth time Color Delay, fifth time Beam delay.
So to put an up and down delay on a cue...
[Cue] <cue number> [Delay] <uptime delay> [Delay] (Shows in Comand line as Down Delay) <downtime delay> [Enter]
For Just an Up delay...
[Cue] <cue number> [Delay] <uptime delay> [Delay] (Shows in Comand line as Down Delay) <0> [Enter]
So the same applies to using the Time Key with multiple presses adjusting Up / Down / Focus / Color / Beam.
I hope this helps.
