Fixture enter default DMX values if not in CUE

Post by Jackson75 »

I wonder if it's possible to configure a setting somewhere which works like this:

I use CUE list and run a sequence.
When CUE is stopped, the DMX for some fixtures change to a predefined state.
Now when I stop the CUE, the DMX are held in its latest state.

Freestyler by default goes to the previous value before running the cue. Not sure you can do what you are wanting without creating cues for the desired look. There is a "freeze" button that will stop the sequence at its current spot and hold that until released.

My question arise if a cue is running a hazer in a loop (on/off with a certain duty cycle) and the cue is stopped when the sequence is at 'ON' position. The hazer will be on continously.
IF a fixture's dmx channels could be assigned a 'default' OR 'home' like if no cue, submaster or override is using the fixture, it will enter 'default' state.
Maybe something for feature request.

When stopped it should go to whatever value the hazer had before starting the cue. You can set the default values for any fixture in "Fixture Creator". I find it easiest to run foggers and hazers with the "fogger" section of the software.

If the hazer was previously off and the cue is started you just need to enable restore values option in cue list but this would also reset any lights on the cue list,

it would be better to use the hazer on an override button, if you right click it you can ensure that 'flash button' is not selected so once you press it it will haze (at whatever you set in the sequence' and then when you press it again you will 'turn it off'
