Ok, really simple and stupid one!

 

Got a show programmed, but I have got something wrong!

 

I am only using generic fixtures, and when I move to the next cue, they dont really crossfade. The first cue dies out, then the next fades up!

 

What have I forgot to do!?

 

Thanks again - sorry it's a stupid one!

perhaps setting the crossfade time ??

 

Are you using the A/B masters to crossfade og through Submasters ??

 

The A/B masters is controlled by the round thing just above the faders. Try turning on this to the amount of time you wan't the crossfade to take

Are you using the Playback X controls including the Go button to play back the memories (cues) on the memory stack ?

 

If so, check that the Override control is set to the central (neutral) position.

 

Also check the fade up and fade down times of the memories (cues) themselves. For a smooth dipless crossfade between two memories (cues) you would normally set the two fade times to be the same (eg 3 seconds).

If you are doing big fades between say a red and blue wash then sometimes it is best to use a split cross fade, say 3 sec up and 5 sec down. It will also often depend on the dimmers and the lamps on them. Sometimes the curve can mean a light fades out before the one fading in has reached a similar level. Play with the times.
