Converting a standard cue to a multipart cue on an Express console
If you have already created a single-part cue, the console allows you to reconfigure it as a multipart cue. You can convert a standard cue to a multipart cue in either Stage or Blind mode, but it’s easier in Blind because levels are highlighted.
Once you create the first part, all channels not assigned to that part are automatically assigned to part 8. As you create additional parts from channels in part 8, they are deleted from part 8 and added to the selected part.
Follow these steps to convert cue 1, assumed to be a standard cue, to a multipart cue. This example is in Blind. To perform the equivalent procedure in Stage, run the cue in the faders before preceding with step 3.
