It seems that I have an effect vs cuelist question: I need to build a chase that is completely controllable by the artists we are working with both in terms of speed, and in terms of direction. Basically I need to program a 24-step-based linear effect, but then need to give them a single button (ideally) to change direction, and some type of rate thruster for speed control. Two effects, 1 "forward" and 1 "reverse" won't work because the effect needs to change direction from its current step and not re-start from the beginning.
I wrote a macro to go into blind and change the direction of the effect, but it takes the console into blind, and doesn't return it to live, plus, it's clunky, with displays flashing into blind, and the effects editor, etc. Surely there is a better way to program this. Any thoughts out there??
Many thanks in advance!
