Description
Setting The Global Fade Time
Use the
Time
command to set the
global fade time
. This time is used to crossfade channels or values
whenever the
At
command is executed. The global fade time is used when setting channels, or a playback’s
submaster value.
Using Split Fade Times
A
split fade time
is used when it is desired to have channels that are fading up occur at a different rate than
channels fading down. To specify a split fade time, use a slash character in between two fade times. For
instance, the command
Time 3.5/7.5
will cause any channel that is fading up to occur in 3.5 seconds,
and any channel that is fading down to occur in 7.5 seconds.

cause the fade to be delayed before starting to change value. To specify a fade delay, use a delay time and
