To create a chaser, create a sequence with at least 2 cues assigned to an executor.

1. Change the sequence to a chaser by pressing Assign and one of the keys associated with the executor.
2. This opens the Assign menu. Tap Options on the right side.
3. To change the sequence to a chaser, tap Chaser located below the tab **Function**.

The mini executor is now cyan.

It is possible to change the functions of keys and fader associated with the Executor. For more information, see [Assign a function](/grandma2/key_exec_assign/).

All timing and loop information in the sequence is ignored. Commands (CMD) are executed and the **CMD Delay** is the only timing from the sequence that is actually used. For more information, see​ [Commands in cues](/grandma2/key_cs_cmd_in_cues/).
