If a different sequence is sending values to the attribute then these values are now used. Sequence priority can be
important in this case - read about priorities in the
Release First Step
There is an option in the
that is called
Release Firststep
. This becomes relevant if another option
called
Wrap Around
is active.
You can enter the Executor options by pressing the
Assign
key and then one of the keys associated with an
executor using a sequence - this opens the
Assign Menu
. Tap the
Options
button on the right side of the menu.
Wrap Around allows the sequence to return to the top/first cue if you perform a Go (forward) command after you
have reached the last cue in the sequence.
Release First Step controls what should happen with tracked values. They can track from the last cue to the first
(Release First Step Off) or any tracked values can be released when the sequence is started from the top (Release
First Step On).
Release first step is an option that effects the sequence. This means that this option is synchronized on all executors
that uses the same sequence. Wrap around is a setting of the executor - so executors with the same sequence can
have different options regarding Wrap Around.
Turning Tracking On or Off
Also in the Executor Options there is the option to turn On or Off the tracking function.
This option belongs to the sequence, meaning that it will be synchronized across all executors that uses the
sequence.
When Tracking is Off, the tracked values are gone and where the value was tracked it will be released instead.
If you look at the sequence used in the Cue Only example, it would look like this without Tracking:
Sequence with Tracking turned Off
Fixtures 1 and 3 would only be On in cue 2. Fixture 2 would be On and in a position in cue 1. In cue 2 it would turn
Off and the position would be released and go back to the default for the fixture. Fixture 2 would turn On again in
cue 3 and Off in cue 4. You would not need to store the Off (closed) values, unless other sequences might also try to
control the same fixtures and you want to make sure they turn Off.
