Manual Time/Rate Fader Suggestion

As we do half our shows as on the fly concerts; it would be great in the future to have the ability to create a fader that could control manual time when selecting palettes.  Meaning, if you selected some movers and wanted to send them to a focus point, you could adjust the fader for a manual time between 0 and 10 seconds on the fly, depending on what you are doing.  

Our now retired MA Lite console had this feature and I used it all the time to change colors and move positions on the fly, without recording cues.  Sometimes, you just don't know what is coming when the band walks in 1/2 before show with no setlist.

I know you can right now set a single default time, but being able to adjust this throughout the night would be amazing.

  • You can also create a series of macros that change the manual time configuration in the desk.    I have a Time 0, 1, 3, and 5 configuration.  While still a button click - the benefit is it puts the desk in a permanent state - rather than needing to hit a sneak macro every time.

    It'll need to be run in foreground mode. But the macro below runs pretty quickly.
