Is it possible to have a button invert a value?
Posted: Thu Aug 22, 2024 3:24 pm
I have a Dimmers Full button that sets all the dimmers to max, and if I press it again the dimmers turn off. However I have a second button which fades dimmers up to full and holds. If I press the dimmers full button after the fade in button there is effectively no change. I basically have to hit the button twice to cut the lights in that scenario. Is it possible to create a button that will set dimmers to 0 if there are at 255, and set them to 255 if they are at 0? Or is there another approach to achieve my desired outcome?
Current Flow:
1. Dimmers Full (Lights On) -> Dimmers Full (Lights Off)
2. Fade In(Lights On) -> Dimmers Full (Lights On) -> Dimmers Full (Lights Off)
Desired Flow
1. Dimmers Full (Lights On) -> Dimmers Full (Lights Off)
2. Fade In(Lights On) -> Dimmers Full (Lights Off)
Currently my workaround is to use a Stop All Functions button. However that wastes an entire button on my midi device. For context I'm a drummer controlling this live and I need to minimize time to activate functions, and maximize my button options while playing.
