Hi Everybody,
I have a couple of various fixtures. I will take the LED spots as an example. These RGB LEDs with an extra Dimmer and a Strobe Channel.
Such as Eurolite LED PAR64 RGB, from the Default fixtures library.

What I want to do is create some Color szenes and chasers, but at the same time I want a dedicated Master or Submaster Fader for the complete Fixture Group. So whatever they do they will only get as bright as the Master allowes.

At the Moment to solve this, I have created the chasers by using the 3 RGB channels. This way I can use the Dimmer Channel and assign a fader in Level Mode to it. But this is very time consuming to program
On the other Hand if I would set Colours as a Scen and than create the chaser with the DImmer Channel, I'm no longer able to control the Group intensity.
This would be way faster to program and more flexible to use, because can set the colour as a Scene and just add the chaser on top of it. To Change the colours I just Need to Change the colour Scene.

I tried to solve this with the Loopback Plugin, but it seems not to work, that means I think I used in in a wrong way.

Does anybody know a different/ better approach?
Unfortunatley the Strobe channel does strobe only and does not have a shutter function :-/
Additionally I have seen some Moving Heads that I think about to by, that also don't have a shuter. So I will meet the same thing again.

Best Regards
Malte
