Hi guys,
I work for a service which uses JANDS VISTA as software and controllers. As I was looking for an economic solution to be on my own for some smaller events, i found freestyler (in combo with a bcf2000), which was exactly what i needed. The only big difference i found with JANDS software is the lack of an "HALT" function on steps of a sequence.
This is JANDS VISTA's cuelist editor:
"1,2,3" are step numbers.
"cue" is step name.
"2s" it's the duration time.
"HALT" it's a variable that sets the behaviour of the step, in this case the sequence stops at the step 'till the button is pressed again, then moves to the next step and stops and so on. The other value is "FOLLOW" in this case the step will behave as in freestyler, moving to the next step after the time specified.
Is it possible to add this feature in Freestyler (for example: in "create sequence" lowering the step speed below 100, will result in a HALT state)?
I know that go monkey offers a similar functionality, but just for one cuestack at time, in this way, this would be available to all sequences.
The uses with this function implemented are many, you can have a button to cycle between wash colours, another for beam/spot colours, another to cycle between moving heads movements (circle, 8, slow, fast), another to cycle between fast, slow and no strobe and so on...
Thanks for the good work developing freestyler!

Re: HALT function on steps of a sequence
I know but that' doesn't solve the problem, you can just pause a running sequence, not cycling through steps with a button press. What I am suggesting could be very useful, for example you can assign to a single button, a sequence with different colors on each steps (or movements, gobos, etc) and change them with every press.buttza wrote:There is a Pause Button
JANDS VISTA works also this way, and I found it very useful.
