7.9.2 Individual Step Times Chases
Individual Step Times set Fade and Wait parameters that are applied to
individual Chase steps. Chase steps which use Individual Step times are
called Complex Steps.
These are entered using the LIVE TIME and NEXT TIME buttons while
editing a Chase. See Section 7.13 Editing values in a Chase Step.
If the Wheels or Global Times menu are subsequently used to change the
Times or Crossfades of a Chase with Complex Steps, the time differential
between the times of the steps is maintained until they hit zero or full.
⇒ This may not give you the desired result, so it is better to change the
Individual Step times by editing the Chase and entering new values for
the steps that need changing.
7.9.3 Building a Chase with Simple and Complex Steps..
You can combine Simple and Complex steps in a single Chase. Complex
Steps will behave as described above if a Wheel is moved or a new Global
Chase Time is entered, and Simple Steps will take these new Global times
directly for their timing.
7.10 The EDIT TIMES menu
There are six Timers on the EDIT TIMES menu. Chases can use all of them.
7.10.1 Wait In Time
This is the amount of time that elapses when a Step starts before a Fade In
starts.
7.10.2 Wait Out Time
This is the amount of time that elapses once a Step has completed its Fade
In before its Fade Out starts.
7.10.3 Fade In Time
The Fade In time is the time it will take the HTP Channels to fade in when
the Step is activated.
7.10.4 Fade Out time
The Fade Out time is the time it will take the HTP Channels to fade out
when the Step is deactivated.
7.10.5 LTP Fade Time

complete their crossfade.
