Here, we can leave the default settings which are 5 seconds for the Fade In/Out times and no time
before Fade In/Out. We can click on OK when it is finished and our first scene is now ready to be
used. Let us create the 2nd one and call it "Scene 2". To do so, we release all the buttons in our
page (double click on INIT) and we call the "Scene 1". Then we use the TAKE buttons to setup a
different position for each fixture and we save the scene with the "As you see now function". Now we
just have to setup the Fade times (as we did with the 1st one) and we are ready to fade from our
"Scene 1" to our "Scene 2".
When a scene has been programmed to make a fade, we can see a small icon on the bottom left
corner as shown below.
When a fade is running, the following window appears and shows you the FADE IN (left, red) and
the FADE OUT (right, blue). This window allows to make a break, to increase the speed of the fade,
to jump to the end of the fade or to go back to the beginning. Please note that you can make this
window visible or not by clicking on "Fade" from the "Windows" menu.
Please keep in mind that the FADE function is not available on channels which have
been programmed with the ON/OFF mode. This is very useful to make some
channels fading or not in a scene. Imagine you want to fade from one position to
another one with your fixtures but you want to change the gobo without fading in the
same scene. The gobo channel must be programmed with the ON/OFF mode, or the
FADE function (Page Settings window) must be disable on this channel.
