pauzing movement

[ice]

For an upcoming show I need an effect in my heads. There's a break in the show in which everything has to be pauzed, as if the stage is frozen. I want to program a move with my heads and also a rotation gobo. When the show is pauzed the move and gobo rotation have to be stopped.

 

I want to do this in the memory stack if that's possible... anyone got some brilliant ideas on this?

Does the pause happen at the same time every night? If so, its simple - three cues -

Cue 1 - Move w/rotating gobo (Beam=Snap, Position=Fade)

Cue 2 - Stopped w/static gobo (Beam=Snap, Position=Snap)

Cue 3 - Move w/rotating gobo (Beam=Snap, Position=Fade)

 

If you need the pause to happen erratically, what i'd suggest is to do it with a crossfading cue, plus two subs:

 

Cue 1 - Position 1 (previous cue)

Cue 2 - Fade to position 2, rotating gobo (Beam=Snap, Position=Fade)

 

Sub 1 - Gobo static (Beam=Snap)

Sub 2 - Gobo rotating (Beam=Snap)

 

At the relevant point, pause playback X, and at the same time, hit the sub 1 flash button. When you want it to restart, hit sub2 and unpause the cue. Voila.
