wxfade is a powerful application running on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Rpi based computers for managing WING scenes. It is specifically aimed at the Standard version of WING, and its interactive features do not apply as well for WING Compact or WING Rack.
wxfade's WING scenes are binary files, kept in the same directory the program runs from. The application is launched in a command‐line or terminal window and will automatically find and connect through network to the WING console in the same local (/24) network as the computer.
wxfade enables several operations with scenes such as save, restore, fade and cross-fade. It can be run in interactive mode, using the console to trigger actions, or as script commands.
wxfade scenes are saved as binary files on your computer and the restore, fade and cross-fade operations accept a SAFE options enabling you to ensure complete strips, or the fader, mute or solo strip parameters are not modified by the restoring of a scene. SAFEs can be changed on the fly using a WING Custom Control button that will load the new SAFEs from a file.
wxfade also offers a direct (in-line command with -a, -o, -z options) and file (with -F option) loading of buttons and associated ON and [optional] OFF snippets load capability. All buttons work on a toggle basis to enable stable loading of ON or [optional] OFF snippet for the respective button value. But they can self-modify and become 'push' rather than 'toggle' type. In that case, PPT or 'fugitive' actions (still with separate ON and OFF snippet capability) open a new set of functions WING does not offer natively in the form of Menus. In addition, rather than loading a snippet, you can reference another file (Menu) containing new button definitions to allow an infinite, menu or browse-like organization of button-base functionality on WING.
wxfade brings most of the features a lot of users have been waiting for a long time now. For live, studio, or just general management of scenes with an infinite number of scenes, GLOBAL SAFES and Program SAFES that enable protecting from full parameter set to the smallest element of your scenes. New in the latest release is the notion of RESTRICTS which 'opposite' to SAFES, target the update of specified-only subsets. It also puts WING's CUSTOM CONTROL section to good use with the addition of fully customizable menus mapped on buttons, including user-defined snippet save and restore functionality.
wxfade also includes a DCA fade OUT and fade IN set of controls to manage transitions between scenes, or different contexts during live shows.
All actions and parameters can also be handled through MIDI.
Demos are available in the Video section of the website. Documentation is also available for the program. wxfade is available for Windows, Linux, mac (Mx & Intel) and Pi Systems; Please select your option below.
