Stage-Setter 8 - Stacking Cues? | Elation Lighting Forums

jfarrarkuhnMember

I am in possession of a Stage-Setter 8 board for a small show (approx. ten (10) lights max.) and I need to know if I can stack cues on it. It doesn't appear to have a Go button, nor a Stack button. I've played around a bit with the board, but I can't seem to figure out if I can stack cues, and if so, how many. This is my first time using a Stage-Setter, I've used mostly Leprecons and the occasional SmartFade, but never a Stage-Setter. I can create chase sequences, which I found has a max of thirty (30) steps each, and I've read the manual multiple times, and yet it says nothing of stacking cues.

Hi jfarrarkuhn and welcome to the forums.

Doesn't look any of the Stage series does a cue stack, just those 30 step chases. Sorry to say but you will have to look for another console if set on a cue stack.

So I suppose that I will simply have to use the eight (8) Master Scenes and then create the rest of the scenes manually by crossfading? Unless I can get Flash Scenes to operate during the show without erasing the Master Scenes.
Anyway, thank you for the advice.

Correct, or you can run it in two scene preset mode. Setup your first scene on X and then build your next scene on Y. Then simply cross fade between the two. When in scene Y, build your next scene on X and just continue the process. Its not that bad, but you do have the write down levels for each channel for yet 'cue/scene' which can lead to a lot of paper work. I once had to do a show with 3 separate two scene preset consoles and a strobe controller. Was rather interesting because I used my chin on the middle console to fade between scenes lol.

That's exactly what I meant when I said crossfading between scenes. I've had a pretty unpleasant time with having two two-scene presets as well, but it was minimal compared to yours, haha. Using your chin to fade between scenes...hmm...I'll have to try that myself one day,
