programing on the Ion

spent the day Programing on the Ion for the first Cal rep show.
the Ion is prety sweet and Very Intuitive as i have said before, but i have discovered a few problems with it.
the first is that it does not (or if it does its difficult to figure out how) part times for multiple fixture values.
now for those of you that dont speak nerd. what it can do is move to separate lights at separate times in the same cue (EG. i want the special on the center to come up faster than the rest in cue 5)
what it cant do is make separate values of the same fixture move at separate times (I want the light to pan first then tilt? No Dice!)

and for those of you who are blissfully ignorant of the advances in lighting technology in the past 30 years they have lights that can move...
Seriously there have been moving lights used in concerts since the 80s....

Genesis took them on tour for the first time
it was supposed to be led zeppelin, but someone went and had an overdose...
