different fade times

[barefootcoder]

Christmas is coming and as per usual I am starting to panic with all the extraneous performances.

Here is what i want One Cue that will snap fade one light and slow fade all the others.

Is it possible to do these multi-fades on one cue?

 

Thanx and Cool Yule

I doubt you could do this directly, you can’t on an FLX and that is a much more advanced console. I don’t know Jester so happy to be told I’m wrong.

Can Jester do auto follow cues?

I’d do the snap as the first cue then auto-go to a next cue that does the fade cue. That’s how I’d do it on Frog which is much closer to Jester in functionality. If no auto-go then a quick finger on GO is what you’re left with  

(On FLX we’d have other option like triggering other playbacks but I think the above would still be simplest to programme and maintain).
 

Good luck!

Had a quick peruse of the manual. Didn’t see anything about auto-go but I could have missed it. 

Other option which I’d probably use on my Alcora (Jester predecessor) would be to programme your snap lights onto a sub master and also into your fade cue. At the cue point press and hold the flash button for the sub master and press GO. After the fade up time of the fade cue, HTP will hold your snap lights on and you can release the flash button.

Thanx keith... something to chew on. Perhaps i will change the direction rather than the execution!.... 🗽🌩🎄🪪❗️❗️ i have the power!! Ha ha ha

However I like the snap on subs idea. Thanx 😀

No problem Bob.

Hi @barefootcoder,

I'm assuming you're working on a Jester 24/48, or a 12/24? Unfortunately, this isn't possible on those consoles due to the trigger functionality not being present. You'll simply have to press the GO button twice quickly.
However, the answer is different if you are on a console that's on the ML side of things (Jester ML, ML24, ML48).

If you are on a Jester ML console, you can do the following:

1. Go to the cue that you'd like to then program addition cues to snap down and fade down.
2. Bring the fixture you'd like to snap down to an intensity of 0.
3. Ensure 'Down' is 'Snap'. Then hit Program to store that cue, after selecting which memory to record to.
4. Now bring the other fixtures down to an intensity of 0.
5. Define a 'Down' fade time.
6. Use the 'Special' tab on the front panel to tap 'Trigger'. This will change it to 'Auto', which will be an instant follow-on from the previous cue. You can then hit program again. In Run mode, after hitting the GO button on the snap-down cue, the fade-all down cue will automatically follow.

An example of this is what I've created below, where cue 1 is the state where all those fixtures are up, cue 2 is bringing a single fixture down in a snap, and cue 3 is an auto-follow of a fade of 2 seconds bringing everything else down:

I hope this helps.

Thanx Archie - Yeah I wish I had a ML - but I only got a 24/48. However all is not lost - some redirection and some moding subs and i think i will be ok. Thank you for your input and all your typing :¬) Cheers
