Hi, is it possible to re-assign the flash button on a physical master? So you can have the fader control the intensity of a fixture, but the flash button like a strobe for the fixture.
Yes, all keys on a master can be reassigned to fit various uses. make sure to keep your software up to date to make sure you have all the features.
To do this
[1] [@] [Full] [Record] [cue] [1] [1] [@] [Full], Strobe at 10Hz [Record] [Cue] [2] Under the fader options, set the flash key to "go on flash" and "release on off" This can be found by double pressing choose on the master and "options/standard" Set the release time to 0 seconds EDIT: Hold [Choose] and make the Fader HTP. Hope this helps!
Thanks, but when i press the flash button, it goes to the next cue and when i release the button it releases the cue. And the stage goes to black. Is this right, or am i doing something wrong? XD (I want to get something like the command keys)
Or what you could do... to make it an On/off [1] [@] [Full] [Record] [cue] [1] [1] [@] [Full], Strobe at 10Hz [Record] [Cue] [2] Under the fader options, set the flash key to "go" and This can be found by double pressing choose on the master and "options/standard" Hold [Choose] and make the Fader HTP.
When I want to apply something like a dimmer effect to that fixture. Can I still control it with that intensity fader? Because I want to control the intensity of the fixture with the fader and the effects with the same fader.
Under the fader options, set Go key to GoTo (Cue 1) Pause key to GoTo (Cue 2) Back key to GoTo (Cue 3) Flash key to GoTo (Cue 4) Hold [Choose] and make the Fader HTP.
For Cue 1 assign a comment macro for GS1 (Go Scene 1) For Cue 2 assign a comment macro for GS2 (Go Scene 2) For Cue 3 assign a comment macro for GS3 (Go Scene 3) For Cue 4 assign a comment macro for GS4 (Go Scene 4)
Create an intensity effect Record Scene 1 Create an intensity effect Record Scene 2 Create an intensity effect Record Scene 3 Fixtures Strobe @ 10hz Record Scene 4
Set the "Action at end of scene" to "Add release end cue", Set the release time to 0 seconds for the 4 scenes. [Scene] [1] [Thru] [4] [Time] [0]
If you want to control the Effect size and scale, you can make a batch.
I have made a showfile with this done that you can download (Note it will only load on 3.9.0 and above).
