Timecode-Based Cuelist Triggering Issue

Software Version: 4.30.1274.0
NX Console Type or PC OS Version: NX Wing

I have six cuelists based on timecode, each running within a specific time range:

  • Cuelist 1: 00:00:05 → 00:05:00
  • Cuelist 2: 00:05:30 → 00:10:00
  • Cuelist 3: 00:10:30 → 00:15:00
  • …and so on.

I receive timecode via MIDI and want to create a main cuelist that triggers each of these cuelists at their respective timecodes. For example:

  • At 00:00:05, the main cuelist should trigger Cuelist 1 while keeping control.
  • At 00:05:25, it should trigger Cuelist 2, and so on.

The issue is that when the timecode reaches 00:00:05, it activates Cuelist 1 but also stops the main cuelist, preventing it from continuing to trigger the other cuelists.

How can I make the main cuelist remain active and continue executing time-based triggers without stopping itself?

Here’s a screenshot of my current setup. Any ideas on how to fix this?

did you try “stay alive” at the cuelist options of the main cuelist?

Yes, I have kept ‘stay alive’ activated only on the main cuelist.

did a priority change anything to prevent it?

Hi @misterx

Welcome to the forum. Thank you for the screenshot.

In your show file, Cuelist 91 will trigger Cuelist 58 and release all other cuelists when it receives timecode 00:00:00:15. However, cuelist 58 is configured to release all cue lists apart from itself when triggered. Therefore, cuelist 91 will be released.

Apologies if I have misunderstood something, but it looks like you may need to edit cuelist 58 so it doesn’t release cuelist 91 when triggered.
