Step 1) You get a better
console.
However, since you probably can't do that, you should learn the glory of the subroutine
cue. What you can do is record multiple cues, with the movers in
point 1 of the
chase, then
point 2 of the
chase and so on. Then you create a subroutine
cue (
blind record
cue type 4 i think) and put in the
cue numbers you just recorded.
So basically you want your
fixture to circle the
stage lets say. You'd move the fixtures to the first
point of the circle and record
cue 901, then you'd move then to the second
point of the circle and record
cue 902, and so on and so on. Then if you want this
cue to be
cue 100, you'd go
blind record
cue 100 type 4 and then add cues 901
thru whatever your final
point is. You can add a "style" to have it
bounce or loop and hold for the go (IE it will keep running until you push the go
button again).
Oh, and have fun writing all your
manual mark cues. Its how a show I did quickly became a 345
cue show.....
Or, if you get an
EOS you can load the
effect screen and draw on the touch
screen and have your fixtures do whatever you just drew (well, this doesn't work yet, or at least didn't 2 months ago when I got a demo, but when it does work it will be really cool!).
