Hello Massimo,
Many thanks for Your hard working.
Currently I'm a Freestyler user for my work. But this SW has many limitations. From long time i'm following development of QLC. It's a great concept, intuitive and user firendly.
But lack of some features holding me to migrate to QLC. These features are included in professional soft, and few of them, in Freestyler (QLC couldn't be worse in any feature!
)
1) Override mode of function button, or "highest priority mode"
When the "normal" functions are enabled, in some situations is needed to modify show by temporary swap some channels values.
Simple example:
Playing collection included function "open" for heads shutters. The collection includes also movement, gobos, color, dimmer, prism.
Than we want to make forced strobe effect.
With the "Override" it's simply. Just create function including strobe values on shutter channels. Next, create button with assigned this function.
In button options mark option called "Highest priority" or "Override".
Now when use this button, the values from "override funtion" replacing the values from original function (of course only channels that overlapping in same time).
When button off, the operating continues by "normal" function values.
This function is included in FS. It should be in QLC
2) Submaster assignable to fixutures/groups/channels
This feature also occurring in other softwares.
This is needed when we want by easy access to dimm group of fixtures.
Of course, it can be realised by slider assigned to dimmer channel. But dimmer doesn't have to be a constant value funtion.
For example: we have a "dimmer wave" effect created on 8 fixtures group. And we want, by simple live solution, dimm these fixtures but we want also save the dimmer effect behavior.
Of course now we can achieve this by submaster slider into common frame with function. But it makes limitations.
The better, more felxibility and more "professional" is possibility to assign for submaster slider any channels, like in level mode.
Of course options from "grand master" mode - reduce or limit, are also much expected.
3) Button off behavior/ slider close behavior
Another feature is flexible define what happens with channels (or functions like "movement", "shutters", dimmers") when we turns off the button.
Some functions we want to close shutters / go dimmers to 0, but others - not.
4) Advenced BPM triggering
Here i don't have specified ideas, but i think it should be improved also
- Changing chaser / seqence steps by beats
- DMX value from audio level
- Flashing by beats
- Dividing / multiplication beats for each chaser / sequence
- Smart automations, like: when no sound, play function, etc.
Thank You
Dariusz
