An Overview of Miranda Cues

A Miranda cue consists of one or more cuesteps with a programmable "wait" and "fade" time. These steps can contain only certain fixtures, or only certain attributes.

The controller is strongly Last Takes Precedence (LTP). So if you turn all the lights red but with intensity at 0, you can have a later cue turn the intensity to full, and the lights will come up red.

Cues can be looping or not. Looping cues will start the first cuestep after the last cuestep finishes. Non-looping cues will only run their cuesteps once (leaving the lights in whatever state they were at the end).

Saving the Showfile

At any time, from anywhere in the app, you can press ⌘S on Mac or Control-S on Windows to save the file.

Recording and Updating Cues

If you are used to using a light board, you will find Miranda's cue-recording model to be more streamlined than you're used to. Captured attributes are updated in realtime with no Record or Update buttons.
