Show Cue System

Is it possible to loop a series of cues? I'm trying to repeat 9 connected blizzard cues to fill 2 hours.

SCS doesn't have a facility to repeat a group of cues. Approximately how long would one iteration of these files be, and/or how many times would you want to repeat the cues?

SCS does not have a 'jump to cue x' command (yet...), but there is a way to simulate one, if you have a MIDI interface on your system. Connect a midi lead from the out (not thru) to the in on the interface. Actually, there are some little midi applets that will do this in software - patch one virtual midi interface port to another - Midi Yoke is one, from memory.

You then have to turn on midi triggering of cues in Options (see the Help menu for details). This will assign a midi program change, or note number, or a variety of other types of midi message to each cue.

You then use a midi send command at the end of your sequence of cues to send the midi message that triggers the first cue in your sequence. Voila - endlessly looping block of cues.

You of course have to figure out a way to break the loop - manually moving to a cue outside the loop structure.
