Cue List Playback & Copy
The Cue List function allows you to compile a cue list (i.e., a sequence of cues for playback) using
markers. Cues are loaded into memory for continuous, uninterrupted playback. The Cue List
can also be copied to create a new song.
A Cue List can contain up to nine steps. You can specify the start marker, end marker, and the
number of times the step is to repeat from 1 to 9.
1. Press the [UTILITY] button and use the [] and [®] SELECT buttons to select
the Cue List function.
2. Press the [ENTER] button.
The display shows EDITXNEW
3. Use the [] and [®] SELECT buttons to select EDIT or NEW.
EDIT allows you to edit the current Cue List. NEW resets the Cue List.
4. Press the [ENTER] button.
The display shows stp1:s¬eXn=0 (the lower case stp indicates that the Cue List is being
edited).
5. Use the [] and [®] SELECT buttons to select the parameters and the []
and [+] DATA buttons to set them.
To reset the number of repeats to zero, press the [CLEAR] button.
6. When youve set all the required steps, press the [ENTER] button.
The display shows CueLstXPLAY?
To copy the Cue List to a new song, press the [+] DATA button. The display changes to
CueLstXCOPY?.
7. Press the [ENTER] button.
If you chose CueLstXPLAY?, MD4 waits in Pause mode. Press [PLAY] to play the Cue List.
The time counter starts at zero and counts up continuously until the last step of the Cue List
has been played. The display shows the current step. For example,
STP1:1¬2Xn=0 (the upper
case STP indicates that the Cue List is being played).
If you chose
CueLstXCOPY?, a new song consisting of the cues in the Cue List is created.
8. If you are just playing the Cue List, use the [] and [+] DATA buttons to select
other steps and the [PAUSE] button to pause playback.
To stop Cue List Playback, press the [STOP] button.
In rare circumstances, cue list playback may not be continuous (i.e., playback may skip between
cues). Cue list settings are stored when MD4 is turned off.
