Can you "smooth" trigger a show?

[JHolmes]

Picture this:

 

Sequence runs in a loop that simply has all the lights ON full.

Then someone comes and activates a trigger to start a sequence.

 

Is there a way to make it so when the trigger is activated, the lights fade to black and then the show begins? Could I theoretically add the fade-out to the beginning of the musical sequence?

 

I haven't tried this yet so I'm not sure if LOR clears all the channels when a trigger is activated.

Just guessin here but I think you will have a short blackout moment when the switch is hit. You could do a dim of all the channels at the beginning but still think you might have a short blackout when that trigger is hit.

 

And if there is a brief blackout, maybe it won't be enough to really be a concern. But I think the pause of the LOR system working to activate that sequence will cause a short blackout IMO.

I'll give it a shot and see what happens

To avoid the potential blackout that Santas Helper mentions, perhaps try unchecking the "Turn used lights off at the end of each sequence" option in your show.

Ok! Hope it works
