Possibility to add fade time, for colour, colour fx, move fx and beam fx sections.
Otherwise changing static colours and adding groups to FX section looks pretty jerky. Not always you have time to make presets before show, sometimes you tweak in live.
Or at least adding ‘’Blind mode’’ will helps this! Ability to tweak / edit settings without affecting live output! (shift + home?)

Additional features would be great:
Dimmer fading out/in setting for coulour wheel/gobo wheel. I dont want to see how colour and gobo changes so dimmer out/in whould be great feature!

Not sure what you mean?

in 99.99% of fixtures, the colour wheel and gobo wheels won't have a dimming channel. Building in the logic for a light to dim to black and then turn back on when the next gobo or colour has been loaded is absurdly complicated.

You dont need dimmer on colour of gobo wheel, you need trigger fixture master dimmer channel out and then in, when colour/gobo changes, like you can do in chamsys/grandma or daslight when making cues. I understand that this can be difficult on wolfmix, due to some hardware/software limitations.

For a "consumer" controller the Dimmer fade in/out request is quite unusual. I do sometimes see such features on "higher-end" Fixtures (Martin, Robe, ...) which have such features as a setting in the Fixture itself (which you then can enable with a Live Edit Preset). So if you consequently run professional fixtures only, you have such function on your devices anyway for your professional shows. But this feature in the controller would probably increase development costs beyond the regular user acceptance (and usability, too).

Ok dimm out/in is complex, but what about possibility to add fade time, for static colour, colour fx, move fx and beam fx sections?

We were talking about something similar the other week. We can already fade out blinder, fade static Position and fade presets. We're considering adding fades to other things in future, but we're not sure if we'd include it on the W1 or on a more advanced product. The most common requests we've had are:

Blinder (in)
Blackout
Live Edit
