I joined the Fixture Builder webinar just a few moments ago and it was great!! Great job Megan and Paul!
After the webinar i ended up with some question and feature requests.
VIRTUAL STROBE
An option that would be nice to have is a Virtual Strobe function for all those fixtures which only have a strobe channel 1-20Hz. This Virtual Strobe should contain the most used strobe modes like Rate, Random, Ram Up -> Snap, Snap -> Ramp Down, Random Ramp Up > Snap and Random Snap -> Ramp Down.
DEFINING SLOTS
When building a fixture you can choose the amount of colorwheel slots or gobowheel slots but you can't define the range between which those are distributed. For example on a color wheel you have 8 slots with the whole color, then 8 slots with split colors, and the some colorscrolling options. It would be nice i you can define the rang for the whole color slots e.g. 8 sots, 4 > 98, then for the split colors e.g. 8 slots, 104 > 182.
TABLE EDITOR
In Hog 2 software version 4 (which never released official) you had an Effect Table editor so you could create you own Table to make like a 3 step color bump. Is there a request for this??
EMPTY CHANNEL
When adding channels for the fixture, there's not a direct way adding an empty channel which just does 0-255 is 1-100%. Would be nice to have that option for quickly adding those features of a fixture that are not present in de Fixture Builder right now. It would be very nice if you could also name the channel yourself with a function name which suits the description in the manual for that function. Presets and all that stuff would not work for that channel when changing type etc. I think most of us can live with that knowing that most of the times you just need that Special Channel Function for only that show.
Thanks in advance for replying.
