Stop sequences in cue window after they finish?

Post by avwuff »

Hello,

First, thanks to the guy/team who makes Freestyler and this awesome support forum. It's still rather confusing software, but I can feel how powerful it is!

I'm trying to do something pretty simple: I have a scanning laser, a gobo, and a few other miscellaneous fixtures. I plan on controlling them "live" in real time during a DJ show, creating lighting effects, pulses, sweeps, etc that match the speed and beat of the music. To do this, I've hooked up a MIDI keyboard as a controller (lots of buttons!). So the idea is that one button would be "gobos sweep in a circle in red" and another button would be "lasers pulse across the audience", etc.

So anyway, I set up some multi-step sequences and then I go and assign those to cue buttons in the "fast cue switcher". Everything works fine. But, my current problem is that the sequence goes into "play" mode and doesn't turn back to "stop" mode, even though I have looping turned off. This means I have to hit the keyboard key twice -- once to start it, then again to stop it, and then again to start it again.

Is there a way to have the sequence go to Stop automatically once it has finished playing if it is not set to loop? That way I can start it again to just hit the button again.

Alternatively, is there a better or different way of doing what I am trying to do?

Thanks so much for your time!
