Steppy LEDs

I'm sure this has been covered several times already - I'm in a tech heavy day with no time or screen to hunt it down - apologies for the repeat!

I have some house and some rental Rgb LEDs in, and all of them are very steppy looking over longer cues at low intensity.  The designer has seen them behave much more smoothly - Im wondering if my console may be putting out dmx oddly, or if there is a trick besides part cues or discrete timing, or if that's just the way LEDs are.  The house ones are x-focus, rental colour blasts, I'm on an ion with software version 2, and to the best of my knowledge no output/priority settings have been changed since we got it in 2009, and we have net3.  Any advice appreciated!

  •   Thankyou all for these suggestions.  This time through we managed with parameter delays and part cues, however, it is top of my "spare time" list to try these before the next show requiring cueing comes in.  99.9% of the time I'm busking, so seeing LEDs come up to 10% over 30 seconds was a real shocker!  There also doesn't seem to be a profile for X-Focus blasts, so looking at a 16bit fixture patch looks to be a good experiment starting point.  Thx!
