How To

Groups & Playlists

#Group cues

A Group holds subcues. When fired, the group can run them in different ways:

• Timeline (default): subcues fire at their respective offset times within the group's timeline, creating a pre-programmed sequence.
• Start First: fires only the first subcue. Move to the next subcue with GO.
• Start Random: picks one subcue at random and fires it.

Drag cues onto a Group to nest them. Groups can be nested inside other groups. The group's total running length is shown in the LENGTH column and is calculated automatically from its subcues, honouring each subcue's trigger (a follow runs sequentially, GO/time runs in parallel) and any wait times.

Subcues can have their own trigger mode (Follow, Time, Immediate) within the group, so a group can contain a chain of events that unfolds automatically. GO is reserved for top-level cues: only the parent group takes the operator's GO, and cues inside a group can't be set to GO.

#Playlist cues

A Playlist cue plays a list of audio files one after another.

• Add files with the + button or by dragging.
• Shuffle: randomise the play order.
• Repeat: loop the playlist.
• Crossfade: overlap consecutive tracks by N seconds.

A Playlist is ideal for pre-show music, scene change underscoring, or any situation where you want sequential audio without individual cues for each track.
