Hue/Saturation fades

I prefer using the hue/saturation color model for programming as suggested; however, sometimes when fading from one color to another, I don't want to see the colors that come in between although I do want a smooth looking fade. For example, when using a CMY mixing light if I fade from orange to blue, I see yellow and green during the fade, even though it would look smoother if the yellow flag faded out as the cyan flag moved in. Is there a way to manipulate the path of the cue to achieve this.
Thanks.

    Steve,

    We have enhancements logged to give users the ability to select which color space crossfades happen in. There is some complexity to this, as not all colors that can be mixed in the CMY or RGB spaces can be represented in HS.

    I don't think that this solution would work for the effects engine, because you're applying an effect table to an individual parameter. You have exact control over how the crossfades happen. If you applied a sine wave to hue and then told the console to crossfade in the CMY space, the effect wouldn't really be running on hue. I think the best solution for this would be to allow users to build effects by setting the endstops using palettes. Then we could define how to crossfade between them. This feature request has also already been logged.

    Please let us know if you have any other suggestions.

    Thanks.
