Hello,

I have created an XY pad. I want to use the XY pad to change the size of the EFX curves in operate mode with loopback. That works too. But unfortunately not for all curves. I have a cue list with the curves so that I can see which curve is currently running. Any one of the curves is always missing from the XY pad.

How can I upload the .qxw file here?

I would like to show you.

I do something simular in my workfile, the only difference is that where you use Scenes (to set the Dimmer 2 values) i use Sequences.


The essence is to set each Sequence to Run Once, set Duration to Per Step and use two steps (as a Low - High Trigger).
In the First Step of each sequence (duration = 100 mS) you first set the value of the Loopback Channel to 0 and in the following step (duration = Infinite) you set the value to 255.

I found this trick by accident, do not know enough of "the internals of the QLC+ engine" to explain why it is needed, but i do know by experience that using Sequences in this way is far more reliable then using Scenes. :)
A QLC Workspace is like a Bob Ross painting: "it's your world, you can create whatever you want!"

Okay, thank you very much! I'll try that out later.

But a question for the developers:
Is it a bug that the EFX curves are sometimes not displayed correctly in the XY pad?

Even if I turn the chaser off again, sometimes the last EFX curve continues running endlessly.

@ MichelSliepenbeek

Thanks again for your expert help. I've tried it a few times now. It works great! :D
