The documentation obliquely says "to be written" Yes, as Jon said, via MIDI you can send Program Changes to the LC, using the "Write to MIDI" steps in your LCX. This is because I have some Martin lights that choke on the DMX output of the LCX, but get along fine with the output of LC. Martin have acknowledged the issue with this and other "high refresh" controllers, but have refrained from producing a fix for nearly a year now! Hmm, the old 518 also had this problem. It's difficult to conform to very the simple (but tight) USITT 1990 specs ;-) b) "It would be nice if..." a countdown timer could be associated with a cue to give the operator a clue as to when the next step is due. The Hold bar should indicate how far you are, did that not help? During rehersal I inadvertantly got caught out by a "false" end on a piece of music. For the shows I used a watch and a printed cue sheet - I couldn't help thinking that computers should do this sort of thing! The new "Back Cue" behaved as advertised and saved the day... You will be very pleased with the list and "follow" mode of the new cuelist editor in v3.1 ;-) c) The "gobo" channel for the HES Technobeam is incorrect - There are 8 gobo's not 5! Having loaded up my custom "The End" gobo I was bemused to find LCEdit telling me it was gobo 5, not 8! Hmm, possible I did put in the wrong icon strip, I'll check/correct it. FYI - The shows went well - I can't wait for the DVD to see it from the audience perspective :-) Can you put a QuickTime version on the Internet?
