Cue List Player is geared to controlling sequences at live events. Here you can create a cue list, and then click Play to start each cue at the appropriate time. It can also be used as a jukebox. Cue lists can be saved to disk and loaded back at a later time. Cue files have a file extension of LORCUE.
Access to Cue List Player requires a Pro license.
Controls in the heading (master dimmer, volume, etc) were covered in a previous section.
The Cue List Player logs every sequence that it plays to the Player Log.
