Well, yes, sort of...

From ETC's Express manual: "Wait time is the time that elapses between when you press [Go] and when the actual fade begins."

You're talking about what would be described as a split crossfade. You'd achieve that by putting a WAIT time on the DOWN TIME.

There are lots of uses for waits. Everything from coordination of timing between lights and other departments to complex cue sequences.
