Are you talking about the Grand Master fader?
A little bit a hidden feature - but do-able

hi GGGss
we need a submaster for a group of input channels (receiving OSC from Ableton or ART-NET from TouchDesigner)
Thanks
All the best

You can bind an external control to a submaster ... I assume you already know how to do that?
Best experience is to work with an input profile and thereafter setting up the input-bound-channel to the submaster.

I already tried what you said, maybe I didn't explain myself well...

Basically it is : (in virtual console)
1) one fader in level mode, turn on the Red of a par LED
2) another fader, turn on the green ....
3) another fader, turn on the blue .....

how can I make an independent master for each fader?
from virtual console and without having to cut the information from the software that is sending art-net or osc.

do you understand better now?

thanks and regards

Put every fader in its own frame and add a submaster to that frame. (Use rotary ones to save space)

This is not really clear to me: "without having to cut the information from the software that is sending"
I guess you are saying that the external input should have higher priority? This is a problem... You can only use HTP or LTP...
I use submasters to limit values. If I have 2 input sources, I use the HTP so the higher input will overrule the other input, until it gets lower, then the other input gets control again.

If you are looking for a solution where input 1 can set a value 'high' and, next input 2 wants a value 'low' then only LTP will solve your problem. (But now new problems will arise (since both inputs are not reset afterwards...))
