Applies a VST2/LV2 plugin chain to a target Audio cue's audio stream.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Target | The Audio cue to process |
| Duration | How long the effect stays active (seconds). 0 = permanent until stopped or reset. |
| Effects chain | Click Effetti… to build the plugin chain |
How it works:
- When fired, the Effect cue saves a snapshot of the target's current plugin chain.
- It then applies its own chain (merged into the target's chain).
- After
durationseconds (or when stopped), the target's original chain is restored.
A permanent Effect cue (duration = 0) remains visible in the Active Cues panel until manually stopped or until a Reset Effect Cue fires.
See Plugin Effects for details on building effect chains.
Restores the target Audio cue's plugin chain to the state it had before the last Effect cue was applied.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Target | The Audio cue whose chain to reset |
A collapsible container that holds other cues. Collapsing a group replaces its member rows with a single row in the cue list.
Groups fire all their members according to each member's auto-continue / auto-follow settings. A Group cue with no timing on its members fires them all simultaneously.
A visual-only marker with no playback behaviour. Labels help organise long cue lists into sections (e.g. "ACT 1 — Scene 3").
Labels never fire, never appear in the Active Cues panel, and are skipped by the Go button.
