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 26 steps (A–Z). You can specify the start marker, end marker, and the number of times the step is to repeat from 1 to 99.

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, A:1¬2 n=0 (the upper case “A” indicates that the Cue List is being played).

If you chose List COPY? , a new song consisting of the cues in the Cue List is created.

8.If you are just playing the Cue List, use the DATA dial 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 the MD8 is turned off.
