ekul1978 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Not really delved too deep in tot he cue lists on my pearl expert as I just normally tend to busk things or do individual states on faders and manually crossfade, but thought I would have a play around. Wondering how to make two cues fade between each other, ie cue 1 fades out and cue 2 fades in at the same time = Crossfade. Any quick tips?

timsabre Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 You just set the fade in time for the new cue and the fade out time for the previous cue... unless I am misunderstanding the question?If you press [View] then the select button for the cue list you get a list of cues up on the display and you can edit the times there by clicking on them - there are lots of other ways to set the times too.

ekul1978 Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 yeah I have set the fade in times and fade out times but the next Q fires once the previous Q has finished. So for example Cue 1 fades out over 5 seconds then Cue 2 fades in over 5 seconds. I was just wondering how to make the both go a the same time so they fade in and out at the same time.

timsabre Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Errr.... Are you using Titan or Classic software? It doesn't do that for me on Titan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niclights Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Or, are you sure you're not setting a delay rather than fade time? Titan defaults fade out to 'As In' and will crossfade. So if you want to crossfade between two cues with equal in/out time all you need to do is set the fade in time. Steps (tested using Titan v11.3): - New show- Patch 2x dimmer- Avo+Exit (shortcut to 'Program' menu)- Open Capture Visualiser window (to visualise)- Select dimmer 1, @@- RECORD, [Cue List], <select empty playback handle>, <select the same playback handle again to record the first cue>- @ [0%]- Select dimmer 2, @@, <select playback handle again to record the second cue>- Exit- [Edit Times], <select playback> (to open Playback View window)- In Playback View window select 'Fade In' column header to highlight the Fade In cells for both cues- 5 <enter>- Fire playback- GO = Dimmer 1 fades in over 5 sec. - GO = Dimmer 1 fades out and dimmer 2 fades in over 5 sec.

ekul1978 Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 Thanks for the replies - I am using Titan but its not version 11, yet! I have the upgrade kit to add soon. nic, yeah its was fade times and not delay I was using but I will follow your instructions and see what happens, will Q2 fade in at the same time as Q1` fades out?. The desk is going back for a service soon anyway so I guess if anything is not working properly it will be flagged up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niclights Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 ...will Q2 fade in at the same time as Q1` fades out?...Yes. Make sure Fixture Overlap is set to 100 (default). Setting this to 0 will make the cue wait until the previous cue has completed before beginning its fade. As far as I can remember it has always worked this way so version/hardware should be irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekul1978 Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 Thanks :) I will give it a go. Like I don't really use it as I like to busk shows. Our kids never seem to hit the same spot for each show ** laughs out loud **. If it all goes pear shaped I can always ask at avo when I take the desk back.
