Is it possible to create a memory which starts at strobe function at zero and fades up to 100% at the top of the fader? (with mac 250's)
I thought it would be pretty easy, but I couldn't find it in the manual.
And more important? How do I make it?

Thanks in advance,

David

Use mode2:

Set 'record by channel' mode.
[clear] (to ensure programmer is empty)
Select fixtures.
Select shutter attribute and set to 100%
[memory]
numeric key 2
Empty playback swop to store.
Re-set shutter value to zero.
[clear]

Now the playback should function as you require (raise intensity to see, obviously!)

Note that the method used above is a shortcut to storing a mode 2 memory. It is also accessed after storing via [edit times]/toggle mode softkey/[enter]

K, thanks (Y) I'm going to try it this friday, thanks.

adding to this, any attribute that needs to respond to a "mode 2" playback should be set as "fading" , not "instant", in the patch, or it won't "turn off" when you bring the fader back down...
