master speed control for chases

I'm using a Congo Jr board with a very basic lighting rig - no moving lights or devices, just a couple of scrollers & the rest are fixed.

Mainly I'm trying to provide a show using chases for college students in rock band performances; So far I've managed to collect these in a 'default' file.

My question is, given the limits of the lighting itself, is it possible to control the bpm of all chases ( the ones I put onto faders) with one 'overall' fader in a file? And is it possible to do this with intensity as well?

I'd appreciate it as I don't have much experience, just a big manual! Thanks!

Assuming that the chases are "Sequences" with the 'chase' option ticked, you can't do a 'global' one but you can make "Time Masters" for each one using the Master Editor:

[Modify] & [Master]

Scroll down to the row for the right Master

Change "Content Type" to "Time Master"

Set "Content" to be the Sequence Number of the chase

If you're using one or more Chase Effect Playbacks to run the chases, then the "Tap/Rate*" attribute for the Chase Playbacks could be put onto a Master.
- Either the attribute itself (so applies to selected Chase Effect Playbacks), or a Preset with just that Attribute recorded.

thanks Richard, that seems to work, tho it's not too 'smooth', maybe a software issue.

Love the cake!
