I have created two identical mixing boards using all Click & Go RGBs with 2 Submasters in seperate Frames. One above and one below.
This way I can easily set up two opposite or any color Scenes and save them right away as step one and two...etc

I also just use Hot Black Scenes controlling the Dimmer On/Off Levels/Tempo/Fade while controlling the colors live with the two Mixers jumping between the two with the Submasters. I can then use a black color matrix as a mask and change the colors live as I please.

I wish I had a way to raise or lower a Submaster using a Script or Button Function. Is this possible? It's just a tiny bit slow using Submaster sliders to change Live Scenes/Mixing boards.

Thank You, Great Program!

I'd suggest to use loopback channels to control the submasters.
In an alike setup I had different effects running and controlling the subs that way.

Create 2 dimmers in a loopback universe
create the functions you want to control the values of these loopback channels
Bind the loopback channels to the submaster sliders

Thanks for the Ideas.

I haven't even figured out the loopback yet. I'm a little confused on that. Been using QLC+ for about 3 weeks. Figured out just about everything but loopback. Have it running on Linux,Pi, Mac and Win 10. Using Artnet to simulate shows on another Monitor etc. I also use Purr Data to spy signal data. But not sure about loopbacks..lol

I am able to Control the Sliders with OSC. But I wanted it all on one screen.

Sorry I forgot to mention I was using DmxKing Micro. It only supports one Universe. Not sure if this effects making a loopback universe.

Oh yeah this works great. Thanks again for the info.
Watching this tutorial helped me with loopbacks and dummy dimmers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjgdwvK-J6w (It's in deutsch/german I didn't understand.)
