Simultaneous fade out current scene fade in next scene

Post by Grimm »

Hi ,

I've just started to use Daslight as a lightning control system for our small theatre venue , and I'm having one issue.


The performance we are programming for is not "timeline based" .
There are cues in the script , sometimes it happens after 40sec, sometimes it's 50sec , hence why i can't rely on hold times but i have to manually trigger every scene .
I can trigger the scenes in the "live" modus, but fading is giving me a headache...

I set scene 1 , with for example channel 1-2-3 on 100% , channel 4-5-6 at 0% , fade out time 10sec.
On scene 2 , channel 1-2-3 should be 0% ,and channel 4-5-6 at 100% , fade in time 10sec.

If i press the Scene 1 button once , it snaps to the scene setting , 1-2-3 @ 100% , if i press the same button again it starts the 10sec fade out.

If i press the scene 2 buttong while scene one i fading out , it starts fading in channel 4-5-6 , but channel 1-2-3 which was fading out , now snaps to 0.

I must be missing something simple here i assume , but it should be possible to have scene 2 fade in WHILE scene 1 is fading out ?

All help is greatly appreciated !
