Using slider to adjust chase time

Is it possible to make slider to adjust chase time?

I have 5ch light: R,G,B, Master, strobe speed.

I have set chase that when I run the chase the light runs the chase in 500ms and holds infinity.

So, I would like to make a slider to adjust that 500ms between 0ms to 5000ms.


Any idea?

Thanks

Search the forum a bit and you will find many posts talking about 'loopback' and 'Speed dial widget'.
You will, though, not be able to set the infinite time as the last step. The Speed dial widget is 'all or nothing', it cannot set the time for one step inside your chaser. Check the manual.
I could come up with a solution to that, but first, try to accomplish the Speed dial to the chaser-timing issue.

Thanks for reply.

I have thoughted and tried the speed dial, but never got it to work.

Would be nice to have only one button to run chaser, and slider to adjust the fade in or fade out timer.

It's perfectly possible to do that... through the use of loopback channels. Loopback channels are an advanced feature.

But first, please study the documentation a bit about the Speed Dial widget. If you don't achieve setting fade-in fade-out with the speed dial, don't bother to try to have it set by a loopback channel...
I'm sorry. There are a lot of projects in this forum showing how to use loopback channels.

(and in your first post you were talking about duration time, and not fade-in fade-out...)
