Edit Sequences and Stack in SmartFade

Edit the content of a Step

A sequence or Stack step can contain a reference to a memory in a specific page, or a single channel intensity. The Stack can have a unique Stack memory state as well.

Memories can be edited in the memory fader, or in the step. Steps that reference a single intensity channel can not be edited, you have to use change instead to change to a different single intensity channel. Unique Stack steps are edited as described, just like memories.
