A delayed fade on a master

So I use a independent master for mu FOH light for that moment the curtain close. To get rid of the ugly circles and forms on the curtain that the front light forms when hitting a closed curtain.

So far, so good. now I am wondering if there is a good way to make it "fade with delay". What I mean is if I have as an example five lights in my front. 1;2;3;4;5. Directed strait on stage to make it simple. and when I bring up the inhibit I want first 5 go up, then 2+4 and last 1+5. making the front light hitting the actors as the curtain opens. and when it closes the other way around.

The simple way is three masters, but is it possible with one?

  • but I don't want it on all the time, and want speed control. non just press go. I could have it on a master, don't have the front light stored in the presets where the curtain closes and opens. But then I will need different seq for different parts if the front light is on different levels each time I need it.
    I think the best part so far is to do it over 3 independents that I bring in one by one.

  • You could make it a sequence in dual channel mode so fader 1 is your intensity and fader 2 is your A/B. That way you have manual fader control and can slide up once for 1,5, slide down for 2,4 and up one last time for 3 at whatever manual rate makes sense.

    You are burning two masters though which sounds like its undesirable.
