Timed Fadermovement

Currently the syntax FADER AT does not support Timing arguments.

e.g.

EXECUTOR EXECUTOR 1 AT 100 TIME 5 ENTER does not work...

when the Executor holds a cue, one might get around the problem by using Cue-timing and Off-timing, however if the Executor is i.e. a Groupmaster, this is not an option.

Below is three different workaround for moving a fader with timing..

/!\ the 2xExecutor shortcut for the Fader-keyword only works for direct commandline. In link-columns etc, you will need to enter FADER with the keyboard e.g.

FADER 1 AT 100 

Multi-line timed macro

Create a timed macro that sets the fader at different levels

e.g.

FADER 1 AT 2

(Delay 0.1s)

FADER 1 AT 4

(Delay 0.1s)

FADER 1 AT 6

(Delay 0.1s)

etc

FADER 1 AT 100

(Delay 0.1s)

number of needed lines (the resolution) depends on how long the fade should be..

Timecode show

Create a timecodeshow with the faderup-movement

enable the options

Create another timecodeshow with the faderdown-movement, with same options

Trigger the the fader by starting the different timecodeshows

DMX Remote

Patch a dummychannel, connect a DMX-out to DMX-in and create a DMX-remote for the fader

The fader will now follow the dummychannel, - just use channelvalues and timing whenever the fader should be used.
