intensity effect overrides new to Hog III

So this is something that has driven me crazy since moving to Hog III, and one of the few places where I really feel they "broke" something with the new OS. Because there are never enough faders, when punting a show one thing I do is record intensity of a group into cue 1 of a cuelist that has other info on it, for example color, for that same group. So I can use the fader to control intensity, the cuelist buttons to change colors. Then on another fader I may do a stack of intensity effects, "slow, med, fast," etc. That way I can easily switch between an intensity effect and regular intensity control on the main intensity control fader.
What is killing me is that now if I change a color while running an intensity effect, the effect will stop running, even if the main intensity fader is down because the new cue has tracking intensity info. On Hog II you could set both faders to use HTP and avoid this, but with Hog III setting a stack of intensity effects to use HTP will disable the effects.
You might think setting the options to 'persist on override' on one or the other or both of the cuelists would fix this: nope. (Not really sure what that option is useful for then...)
The workaround I've come up with is to change the Halt button to Assert, then quickly reasserting the effect after I change the color. But this is annoying to have to do, not to mention disabling the backup functionality of the Halt button.

  • Gotcha....OK, ignore my earlier suggestion then.

    Try this....it should work:

    - Turn off HTP on both Lists
    - Turn on Persist on Override for both Lists
    - Set the priority to the same level on both Lists (0 is fine)
    - On your Color/Full Intensity list put an Assert cueList or Assert Master Comment Macro referencing your other List in EVERY cue (ie: AM 2 or AL 36 and if you have 10 cue then you need it 10 times)
    - Make sure that your Assert Time for the FX List is set to zero.

    Hope this helps. :)
