Effect continious

Roberts Vanags · Oct 26th 2018

Hello, I have a small problem. Using onPC.

So here is my problem, or whatever you call it.

I have two buttons.
1. Button: regular effect dimmer
2. Button: Plays once. Has 8 cues. in each cue it turn on several fixture dimmers and then off. Like chaser. Last cue is CMD command, which turns this button off. Is set for super priority

Problem is that, when I start 2nd button, 1st button is turned off. How can I still manage to keep 1st button on after 2nd button has done its job. CMD command isn't option cause I have like 10 buttons of dimmer effects.

What happens, if you program the same thing on Executor Faders?

Are you referencing a 'template' effect or a stored preset? Just curious....

Hey,

the reason for this is called "Off On Overwritten". This setting (only active on Executor Buttons) switches every executor off whenever it is completly overwritten. Example:

- Executor Button for just orange color
- Second Executor Button for green color
> If you now start executor one (orange) and the executor two (green) the first executor is completly overwritten (not active on the output) and therefore it will be switched off.

This setting is set on Executor Buttons (like 201...,301...,401... and so on). So if you program your effect on Executor Faders (like 1.1, 1.2, x.y...) your effect should work alread in the latest release software.

In the upcoming update "Off On Overwritten" will becom a setting which can be disabled.

Cheers,
Lars
