  • Group Masters return to zero on playback stop

    Hello!


    I have 4 light Groups, for which I have assigned 4 input faders that control the level of their corresponding group masters. I have connected the faders to 4 midi channel Continuous Controllers to help me program the intensity of the groups while a Reaper project plays.


    My purpose here is to have some pauses in my show between the songs, where a cue is triggered by a noteon event and then the project PAUSES. when the pause completes, the cue that I have designed to play during the pause, is stopped on another noteon event ( i use the toggle option for that case to be achieved ). This seems to work right! The problem comes when the midi controlled masters return to zero when the playback pauses! And that's even if they seem to be working on FULL on the input assignment graph viewer. Since it's a bit complicated to explain very well what I am experiencing, the following screenshot might help a bit more!


    The "buggy" behaviour is depicted on the screenshots:


    The toggle control has set "1" on the FULL input of all 4 group masters but at the same time...


    The actual group master faders are all on set on zero!!!


    The playback is paused, but the cue has been successfully triggered!


    I would really appreciate a heads up with this because I have spent a lot of time and nothing that I have tried really had any outcome!


    Thanks in advance!!!

  • Relative values on COLOR property of fixture

    Hello!


    I was thinking that it would be very helpful, on creating a modular and reusable show, if there was the REL button somehow also on the COLOR attribute. That way we could create effects that modulate also the color values of a fixture without having to make new cuelists for each color we want to modulate with a certain effect!


    this REL attribute probably could have two alternatives REL HUE and REL SAT for hue and saturation respectively.


    On my projects I have my color cuelists for my groups, faders for the master dimmer of each group and effects cuelists that sit upon the groups in an effort for efficient and reusable workflow!


    The relative manipulation of the COLOR attribute would help a lot in that direction!!


    Cheers!!!
