How can I do with a loopback button to reset a cue list with a time of 5 minutes fade out, without having to wait for the whole cue ?
Thanks

On your VC, select the cue list.
Set its properties, side-fader to 'Step'
Now you can choose which loopback channel you want to control the steps fader.
Sending the correct value to the steps fader will reset your chaser.
(you will have to try and tweak - add some additional dummy steps to the chaser)

I'm pretty surprised with my finding ;-) I wIll use this feature now also...

thank you very much, what I did was, I made a dummy button at 100% on the loopback assigned button to the stop of the cue list. So every time I want to reset it goes back to the start.
But I didn't understand how to reset this function it's like a stop / block.
If I want to go back to zero, I don't know the best way to do it.
Could you share your test?
And another question Is there a way to bring a cue forward without waiting for the full allotted time?

I am really talking about using the STEP function of the chaser widget. -> here you can control what step is the next inside the chaser.
If you have a chaser with say 20 steps, you can repeat step 11 over and over again with the press of a loopback assigned button.

Next control in the chaser widget on VC?

Hey GGGss, thank you for your research about this !
I did with the step fader and it was perfect ! great !

About the next control in the chaser widget, is not specifically that. I was talking about how to move forward or backward or to go to the middle of time in a step of cue list (for example: cue 5: fade in 3m / fade out 7m) moving in the timeline

I'm afraid that is not possible... even with the Big Guys, you cannot skip set timing. Although, in GMa you have a rate master to influence preprogrammed timings.
