SmartFade ML version 2.1.1.9.0.11
Simple church lighting system with traditional lighting instruments - PAR-cans and ellipsoidals, no moving lights or multi-parameter lights yet.
Now that I am getting up to speed on using the SmartFade ML (since purchasing in July) I am working on figuring out how to record a cue stack. I think that I have the basics down by recording a cue stack from already recorded memories. I have been looking through the manual and cannot find a reference to how to record a 'fade to black' into the stack. I stumbled across selecting a bump button memory that did not have anything recorded into it which I assumed would be no light levels - in other words a blackout. When I played back the stack, it did make the lights go to black. So, my question is: Is this a 'good' way to record a stack cue with a 'fade to black' or is there a 'better' or different way to do it? I have figured out that the SFML has more than one way to do most things (kinda like Microsoft Windows). I realize, of course that SFML provides both the Master fader and the 'black-out' button which either one can perform a black-out. But I want to be able to fade to black within the stack cue that I build for a show. Or is there something else that I am missing in the basic theory of the SFML? My apologies, I have been using 2-scene manual preset board for years and we just recently were able to upgrade to SFML after some power glitches damaged our old control board. Now, I am learning memory programming with SFML. Oh, and yes, I do have the tutorials and have gone through them once.
