Is there a way to set the fade time between pre-stored scenes that I have generated using the F/X Generator.

For example, I have a blue spectrum and slow fanning movers in one scene, and in the following scene I want a green spectrum with similar movement effects.

I want to have the color transition move gently not immediately as it is doing.

I am using the following gear.
(6) Design Spot 250's
(6) ADJ Led Par 64's
(4) ADJ AccuColors

I know the accucolors will not be able to transition gently, but what about the LED's. Let me know what you think.

While easy, it requires a bit of programming. If you need different transition times, you need to program that into different otherwise identical scenes.

For example, here's what I have:
I have a set of color changes that use a 2-second transition, and another set that is identical but just changes instantly.

Using your example of slow moving and blue, but the next scene is identical other than two things: it being green and faster. You should ideally copy your "starting point" scene, and then adjust as necessary. IN your case, colors and time between steps.

It's a little bit of work but shouldn't be a huge time investment.

Have fun, and SAVE OFTEN!!!! Oh, and do not overlook details. Test using the 3D Visualizer.
