Ian_p Posted February 22, 2023 Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 HI - We are about to kick off a play, and in the audience get in time pre-curtain, I'd like to flicker an LED light to emulate a fireplace. I can do this on a chase playback, but how could I control this via the Master playback 0 which would have all show stack on it? It would need ot turn off for the actual play. I'd prefer that the operator just use the go button to run the show. Thanks Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For an intensity flicker, I'd first recommend trying an automatic effect, rather than programming a chase. If you want to add an intensity flicker to a cue, go into the cue, so that it is live onstage. Then select your LED fixture, scroll the tabs along the top, and choose the "Effects" tab. Tap "Automatically Create Effect Palettes" if you haven't already. Then tap Effect 9, which is a candle effect. You can then adjust the speed and size of the effect using the encoder wheels, until you achieve the flicker you are after. To add colour to the fixture, try adding Effect 39 too, which is the fire effect. Once you are happy with the scene on stage, tap UPDATE, and tap your playback's GO button, to add your changes to the current cue. 5 minutes ago, Ian_p said: I can do this on a chase playback, but how could I control this via the Master playback 0 which would have all show stack on it?

If you do wish to add a chase to a cue in the master playback, please see the link below for more information... https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/cues-playbacks/chases I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions. Edward 1 Quote Edward Smith Product Specialist Email Support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian_p Posted February 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 Hi Edward - I took the S24 to the theatre last night, programmed up all the scenes, and used the fire light effect as you suggested on a suitably positioned LED RGB lantern, and the effect works brilliantly. Thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
