How to fade away dimmer channels activated via Flash-Button

[BjDick]

Another silly question from a newbie: Let's assume I have a playback which includes some dimmer channels only. It's straightforward to make the GO button enable those fixtures as long as being pressed ("Flash").
But can I make the playback to fade out the dimmer channels when I release the GO button? This seems to be easy when I enable the playback with the fader. However, when enabling it with the GO button (configured as "Flash") the dimmers seem to switch off instead of fade away.

BTW: Is there a more detailed manual for ZerOS as that shipped for FLX S24? (so that I can look those things up in the manual instead of spaming the forum ;-))

Best & Thanks a lot!

Currently, there's no native way to do this via a flash button. It has been requested before and is logged (reference ZOS-3202) - I've added your comment as an additional request. If you only want to flash (not press-and-hold), you could create two cues - first one snaps on, second one fades out, and then set the second cue to Auto follow. Now, pressing the GO button will snap the light on, then fade it back out. You will need the physical fader to be at full to make this work.

That used to be one of the nice features of chases on Sirius (and I think Lightmaster) being able to modify both sides of the steps on a chase - it was also a feature in GeniusPro Strand desks (you could set it on effects, memories & flash buttons) and was very handy for lightning effects or for snapping a solo spot in then letting it fade gently out (sometimes a snap out feels too harsh).

Intensity transitions between the steps of a chase can also be configured in ZerOS. See here for more information…
