Button stop all functions - add timed fade out.

Currently one can assign stop all functions to a button. And it does just that, stops all running functions immediately.

From the button at top one can also stop all functions. It has additional functionality to fade out over 1, 5, 10 or 30 seconds.

Would it be possible to add the timed fade out to the button? An entry field that allows me to enter a value so that when I hit that button it does a timed, faded out stop of all running functions.

hello Chris

I agree this would be a great add. I like that the drop down fade was added but i use key combinations and midi triggers. You can't use the drop down with those. I also thought it would be an improvement if you could select what the stop all functions affected as in channels verses intensity.

I posted a work around about this awhile ago but can't remember what the topic was. What I did was create a "black out scene" that was tied to a stop all button via a mutual trigger or key combo.

I have a master scene i use as my ambient light which are intensities. I created a chase with that master scene that fades to a black out as a single shot. So when i trigger the chase it simultaneously triggers the stop all functions button. This results in stopping everything, but allows the chase to do its fade out from my master scene.

Now this work around is based on the fact that i run my ambients as a button rather than using channel faders,and that i need to not just stop all functions but fade to black. Its just how i prefer to operate my show. I hope this is any help in concept anyhow. At least till a solution is reach in future versions.
