on the fly flexibility

greetings - i have used sunlite for several shows - both automated and conventional - and i am very pleased -

the switches are great for creating scenes and the scenes are great when i can plan the entire show

but when i run a show "on the fly" not know what is happening next, it would be much easier if i could have 2 fading devices on at one time.

For example, if my automated, front truss, and rear truss are all exactly what i want - then - without warning - someone steps up to the podium -

i want to be able to _fade_ in the podium, while the rest of the scene stays the same. At this point, the only way to do this is to create a separate page, just for the podium.

This fix is goofy, because now i have more that one page controlling the same addresses.

If i can have more than one fading device on at a time - this is much easier.

I would also like to have sub masters and master faders to control multiple pages.

This would allow me to have a separate page for each type of automated, then a control page -

just thoughts

thanks for continuing to develop this excellent product

Isn't the dmx input with a manual desk not a solution ?
They also showed something on frankfurt with an midi fader desk that could be very usefull (version 2006 ?)

The MIDI feature will be launched with the 2006 version. However, you can already use some MIDI or DMX Input functions with the 2004 software.
