I am using Vista 3 on an L5 version 3 19088. I am having a big issue transitioning between effects. If I am running an intensity FX, and I want to transition to a different intensity FX, there is always a hard snap between the two effects. During a slow song this especially noticeable in slow songs. I have tried using longer fade times on the attribute in the FX, but that only delays the snap to the new effect. Is there a way to smooth this out?

In short, there is no easy way to smooth it out in 19088.

The good news is we have made transitions much better in a current beta build. Please email us.
