You may think i dont read the "What would you like to see in Nutcracker?". Steve Gase requested the ability to fade in and out the nutcracker effects last April 25th. Well Steve, you got it.

Two new prompts on every effect (below the seq_duration) is
Fade In (in seconds)
Fade Out (In seconds)

0 seconds disables the fades. You will see when i add new values onto an effect your current effects will have these prompts, but they will be blank. A blank also disables fades so your effects will work as they did before.

Note the animated gif does NOT reflect your fades. To save disk space, i only show one rotation of an effect and let it repeat in the gif. Your sequences might have 5-10 of these rotations pasted together. In summary: Fades will not show on the animated gif's even though they are present.
 Try pasting the effect into your sequencer (I am using lsp), the fades appear there as expected.



This required a change to every effect class and to the large library of code. i have tested lms, vixen and lsp.. let me know if you see any issues.

thanks
