[solved] Strobe function stays active

[Mibmusic]

I am new to DMX and I am trying to set up some simple functions. I have added a red scene, blue, etc. and doing that was pretty easy. Since my fixtures support the strobe effect I duplicated these colour scenes and added the strobe effect. For testing I added buttons for all these scenes to VC and I am able to start/stop all the colours. Start/stop buttons with the colour scenes + strobe also work. However, when after playing around with colour scenes + strobe you press the buttons for a clour scene without the strobe effect, the strobe is still there. Looking at the simple desk, I need to manually slide the strobe slider to 0. I searched this forum and found LTP and HTP as a solution but I have no idea what to do with that or if this is what is causing this.

Any advice would ne nice.

Ok, so enabling the strobe effect with value 0 on normal scenes solved this.

Or ever better: have your cue's for your colours, never minding the strobes. Have a seperate strobe cue ready.
Now press colour + strobe: voila

A basic colour to me is a static as strobe is a dynamic. Always add efx on top of dynamics on top of statics.
Once you start working with movers you'll see the logic: you 'll have intensity-, colour, base-position, gobo, frost, ... settings all adding to the total picture, but you want to be in control of every separate aspect of this total picture. Then on top you'll add EFX to the moving part etc...

Thank you for that. I will look into that right away! I am not a light engineer and I respect people who are. So this is great for a musician to understand and learn. Again, thanks!
