Need assistance with Nantucket ultraglide cord (2012)

Greetings,

I have some manufactured in 2012. Nantucket, ultraglide with a pull cord. The one where pull straight down to go up and at a 45 degree angle to go down. One of them locked up today. It's rolled up and won't go down.

I found this manual that shows the installation of a clutch assembly, but there is no information about how to disassemble one from the shade. There are no screws. The part of the assembly that connects to the front panel that hides the roll almost seems like its glued or something. I shows no sign of being able to separate.

Anyone have any information on how to take this apart? I want to see what has happened inside the clutch. I'm a little dismayed by this comment in the above manual:

Silhouette® and Nantucket™ Ultraglide® with cord and standard headrail (manufactured between 2003 and April 2014) are no longer eligible for repair service. Internal parts are unavailable, and repair conversion services are not offered for these models.

Greetings. I'm looking for some pro tips on how to achieve some fades across many fixtures. As a back story, we're replacing all of the lights in our sanctuary with LED DMX controlled fixtures because we can't get bulbs anymore. So I'm constructing a little light show with some music in Ableton in order to show them off.

Most of the lights are in a grid and I'm looking to do some fades throughout the room. Front to back, side to side, corner to corner. One thing I've done is create a sequence, but I haven't set that to the music yet. I'm wondering if I just break up the steps and control them all in Ableton.

Please help me understand the options and pro/con of each.

I have a preset/cue that is using the rain dimmer effect to give a random scattered twinkling effect. I want to have a MIDI CC curve fade out that effect. I can't seem to find how to apply an external control to a modifier. Or is there some other way to accomplish this?
