Push Button to enable (no toggle)

Hi Lennart

put the channel in a submaster and use the flash button.

Hi Dirk, 

thanks a lot for your reply! 

Yes, that is a way it works, indeed.

Obviously I didn't make clear, what exactly I want to do: I would like to create a magic sheet with numerous buttons, which I can push live at a show, to control specific lights - light a light jockey with a kind of virtual trackpad. Therefore I'm looking for a command to use for the buttons (e. g. Button 1 = Group 1, yellow light @ 100; Button 2 = Group 1, blue light @ 100; ... Button 11 = Group 2, yellow light @ 100...). But only as long as I push the button. 

So, I'm looking for a specific command-line. 

Maybe anybody has another suggestion. I would be very thankful. 

Thanks in advance!

I though that I had posted this suggestion before, but I think it got lost. Have you tried playing with the Flash_On command in a macro? I’m not if it would work in this context or not, but it’s accessed through the face panel with Shift+Full for recording purposes.

There is not a way to program separate events for a magic sheet button for button down/button up.

If you're looking for something command line specific, the best recommendation I would have would be to have a second button that you can tap to clear out whatever the previous button did: Clear_CmdLine Select_Last Sneak 0 Enter.

Not a single-button solution but...

Thank you Jake. Just like you mentioned, it is not exactly what I was looking for but maybe it could help me already. I will try this, too as soon as I'll be back at the gio... 

Thank you Cody for the idea. I didn't try the flash_on yet, but I will next time when I get to the gio...
