Clear Output from Memory Faders

Examples of Using Memory Faders

Learning how to use SmartFade ML in different situations, combining the different functions

to create shows on the fly, or adapting to different situations is in many ways a matter of

your previous experience of moving devices, the time you can spend testing, and your

curiosity about what is possible. There are many different ways to approach the same

situation, here are some examples that might prove helpful.

How Memory Faders Interact

Device parameters are LTP. Try the following setup.

Step 1:

Create two completely different memories using devices on fader 1 and 2.

Different intensities, different color, focus and beam properties.

Step 2:

Make sure INT ONLY and GO MODE are off.

Step 3:

Bring up fader 1. The devices will fade into the intensities and parameters of this

fader. Leave the fader up.

Step 4:

Bring up fader 2. The devices will fade into the intensities and parameters of this

fader.

Step 5:

Bring fader 1 down. Nothing will happen because parameters have been “stolen”

by fader 2, and are only “stolen back” when a fader is brought up from zero.

Step 6:

Bring fader 1 back up. The devices will fade into the intensities and parameters

of this fader.

Step 7:

Bring both faders down. Press the bump button. Intensities and parameters will

flash simultaneously to the full values of this fader.

Step 8:

Now activate GO MODE. This will change the behavior of the bump buttons.

Instead of temporarily flashing the contents of the fader to full, ONLY the

parameters will be triggered, and stay triggered so that you can bump into a

position and then bring up the fader with the intensities.

Step 9:

Now activate INT ONLY. Faders will now ONLY control intensities. This means

that you can use the bump buttons to activate parameters, and the faders to fade

intensities.

N o t e :

The times used here are the default FCB times or the memory FCB times.

See “Default Device Times” on page 68.

See “Memory FCB Times” on page 68.

Memory Rubberband

The faders can be set to allow parameters to follow the fade back down. This is called

Memory Rubberband and is default set to Off.

See “Memory Rubberband” on page 27.
