The Action Pad is a user-defined graphical user interface and one of the most successful features of the e:cue control software. It allows to control the complete Programmer and the Butler XT2 in standalone mode, to start or stop cuelists, execute actions or triggers and much more with buttons, faders and cuelist controls. Buttons can be visible or unvisible on a free selectable background image in many styles. Faders can be placed to be mapped on grand or versatile masters to control intensity or effect speeds.
