Loopback Button to control a submaster

[Dave71]

Ive been working through some loopback tutorials and have created button to turn frame pages and have additional sliders to do the same function etc

However, I'm stuck with this and can't seem to find an answer

I have a pixel batten that doesn't have an intensity function, just 12 RGBW leds. I've added a simple submaster fader to control the "brightness" but i'd like a button that will toggle between submaster 100% and 0% so i can switch it on and off. I'm not using any external control, just a software button. Can it be done and, if so, how? I just can't figure it out

Thanks

Edit: I've made a button which will bring the submaster fader to zero. progress I suppose - see version 2

It is important that you do not put your High Button inside the frame where your submaster is, otherwise your submaster will also affect your High Function.

The submaster wiil take control of all the functions that are inside of the same Frame.
If the submaster is set half way (127), a scene or sequence that wants to set a channel to 255 will restricted to a maximum value of 127.
If the submaster is set to zero, a scene or sequence that wants to set a channel to 255 will even set your channel to 0.

That's fantastic Michel, thank you. I did get somewhere near prior to posting but was using chase not sequence and missed 1 vital setting - LTP/HTP on the dimmer. I've also added a button to control Tap Tempo on an Ipad based web access version of my workspace.

Tip: There is a difference between putting Buttons inside a Frame and putting buttons On Top of a Frame.

If you look at this example you will notice that you can only move the "batten efx" Button inside the Frame, while you can move the other two buttons all over your WorkSpace.

By positioning the Off and Full Button directly above and underneath the Slider (making it look as if they are in the Frame), you make clear that they go together with the Slider, but as they are actualy on top of the Frame the SubMaster Slider will not affect them.

An under-highlighted compelling feature—yes! Even in my projects, I sometimes forget this simple solution and end up overcomplicating the need to use Loopback Magic.
