How to set a time of widget working

[prophy17]

Hello, everyone. I am interesting in - how I can set a time of the widget working. For example, I need that any slider automatically should be of after 15 seconds after it has been go on. Is there such opportunity in the QLC+?

Hi there,

It depends on what the slider does. If it is running a scene, you might be better off creating a chaser with a few scenes.

If you want to fade out an actual fader (For example a submaster or animation fader) you need to use what is called "Loopback Magic"

There are a bunch of threads on the forum which show how this can work but basically you need to:

• In an empty universe, set the input and output to "Loopback"
• Create an input profile. Add a channel of type SLIDER.
• In the slider that you want to fade over 15 seconds, set the "External Input" using the Choose... button.
• Click the slider we made in the Loopback universe
• Add a generic dimmer to the loopback universe
• Create a scene with the dimmer at full. Set the "Fade out" time of the scene to 15 seconds
• Create a button on the Virtual console with the scene.

When you click the scene, you should see it start at full and slowly fade. If you have any issues please upload your file.

Kind regards,

Great thanks for your reply. Excuse me, but Would you mind to answer one more question - Do you know if a clock function from the widget clock can be useful in such situation to set time of work for a chaser, for example or a slider with loopback , as you have written? Best regards

Take a look at this example which shows a clock starting and stopping a function.

NOTE: You don't need two clocks I'm just using two to make it easier to see what is going on.

Hope this helps!
