Hello,
I'm a theatre guy, so busking is new to me. I've been learning a lot by playing around and reading the manual. Ready or not, I'm going to do my first live concert/multiple bands with the Titan Mobile....and I could use a little (or a lot of) advice.

I have the 10 faders set up something like this:
1) "master intensity" for the moving lights
2) Static positions in a cue list
3) Movements - cue list with various shape generator effects and autoloads of other chase playbacks
4) Static color combinations (cue list)
5) Color chases - cue list that auto loads other chases on other playback pages
6)-10) - various other options: front light, mole fays, transition lights, etc

The blue & grey buttons are set up to "go" and "back"

Is this how you guys typically set up to busk?

One of the big problems I'm having with this setup is that once the cue list fires the autoload cue of a chase...I don't have immediate control of the BPM of the chase. Is there a way to connect that chase tempo to the wheel (even though it is being fired by a cue list and being played back on a completely different page)?

Any simple tricks of how to set up the board for easy playback would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Sounds reasonable to me. I can't think of any way to automatically connect autoloaded playbacks. Interesting idea but I can imagine it could cause problems.

Two solutions:

1) Create a separate macro that connects to each of the chases and link the relevant macro to cues in the cuelist. If they're set to link with (or after) the relevant autoload cue without timing it should work fine albeit a bit fiddly and relying on the playback handles not changing. However, unfortunately v5 has a bug where macro links in cue-lists don't save properly. This is fixed in v6.

2) In v6 there will be speed masters which can be linked to chases and assigned to playbacks. If you have a touch screen then a speed master could take the form of a playback handle where the button is tap-tempo. If not then you would have to sacrifice a playback fader for this (associated buttons can still function as tap-tempo).

So in short you need v6 which is very close now.
