Now if you run that lighting scene by double-clicking on its button you will see all the function
faders on the fixture panel fade up to the values stored in that scene over the time that you have set
for the fade
In
. If you double-click on the scene button again (to turn it off) you will see the
function faders on the fixture panel fade down over the time that you have set for the fade
Out
.
Multi-Part Scenes
This facility enables you to:
a) In
Normal
mode - Set different
Wait
,
In
,
Hold
&
Out
times for each function of each type of
fixture that is recorded in a scene, rather than them all using the same
Default
fade times.
b) In
Live
mode - Set different
Wait
and fade
In
times for each function of each type of fixture
that is recorded in a scene -
Hold
&
Out
times are not applicable in
Live
mode.
All function faders default to using the
Default
time settings shown in the details display UNLESS
they are edited independently on the
Edit Scene
dialogue box. Most of the time most of the function
faders will want to either snap on/off instantly, or fade in/out together at the same rate when the
scene is run. However, in some cases you may want to set particular function faders to fade in/out at
a different rate to the rest of the functions stored in that scene. For this reason it is quicker and
easier to use overall
Default
settings and then just change the times for any functions that need to
have different times to the rest.
Example: Let us say that we want to record a scene for the
Stage Light 300
as above with
Default
fade
In
and fade
Out
times of 2 seconds for most of the functions, but we want the gobo and color
wheel functions to snap on instantly when the scene is run (rather than fading in) and we also want
the pan and tilt functions to fade in over 4 seconds rather than 2.
1) Record the scene by setting the function faders on the fixture panel to the values you want to
store in the scene.
2) Click on the details display to call up the
Edit Scene
dialogue box.
3) Set the Default
In
and
Out
times to 2 seconds as described above.
4) Click on the
Color Wheel
button (below the
Default
button on the
Edit Scene
dialogue box) -
the button will appear ‘pressed down’ and its
Wait
,
In
,
Hold
and
Out
value buttons will be
activated for the color wheel. The values are shown in black (rather then being greyed out)
to indicate that they are being used instead of the
Default
times. These times are initially set
to 00:00:00.00 and that is what we want for that function, i.e. no fade time - snap on and
off.
5) Repeat step 4 above for the
Gobo Wheel
button.
6) Click on the
Pan Coarse
button and the
Wait
,
In
,
Hold
and
Out
value buttons will be
activated for the Pan. Click on its
In
time button and enter
[4] [0] [0]
, and do likewise for the
Out
time button.
