Strobe Light effect override everything else
Posted: Wed Sep 29, 2021 9:52 am
I have previously used a LC2412 DMX console for all my lights but recently started experimenting with QLC+. So far I am getting along pretty good transitioning my design to the computer.
One thing that I can't seem to figure out though is how to programm a button that "kills" every output except one for my strobe light.
The LC2412 had two special buttons that could be set up in a way that once pressed only their signal will be output and everything else will be set to DMX value 0.
In trying to replicate this function.
I have programmed my strobe scene with all fixtures set to 0 except for the strobe light. And that will work as long as I don't have any chasers running.
If I have a chaser running as soon as the next step of the chaser is triggered it will override the previosly set 0 value and the lights will start illuminating again.
I hope I was clear with what my problem is.
I'm sure there must a way to achieve such behavior, I can't imagine that a manual light console would have more features than a software console?
So if anybody has any suggestions of how to achieve this, I would be thankful for your input.
I added my workspace as well as my custom fixture files, in case that would be of any help.
