Selecting Cuelists

There can be any number of active Cuelists, but there can only be one selected cuelist at any time.

What is the selected cuelist?

ONYX has several functions, commands, and screens that only work with one - and only one - cuelist at a time such as the Playback command functions, the cue edit function, the “Selected Cuelist” and “Cuelist Values” windows, and the “Selected Cuelist” playback timing control.

The selected cuelist is the one that is acted upon or displayed by these functions, commands, and windows.

You can select a cuelist to be the selected cuelist by

• Pressing the Select Button of a playback control.
• Selecting it from the Cuelist Directory screen.
• Selecting it from the Playback screen.
• Pressing Select or +Select and then pressing its button in the Playback Buttons screen, or selecting it from the Active Cuelists screen.
• Touching its status area usually found above the playback fader section.

When a Cuelist is running on a Playback with no select key assigned to it, you must use the Select key located above the Main Playback Controls (Pictured). Hold down the Select key, this shows which playbacks have Cuelists assigned to them, then press one of the buttons pertaining to the Playback/Cuelist you wish to select.

You may also double click the Select key to activate "Select Lock". In this mode, all playback buttons become select keys temporarily until "Select Lock" is disabled. To Disable Select Lock, hit the Select key again.
