Turn off the Tap-Sync at single sequences

Post by Tom0101 »

It would be nice if you implement the following in the next update:

A button in the CUE-Window which turns of the Tap-Sync function for single sequences, similar like the "React to Sound" button.

Why?
I want to make a CUE with two sequences, one for the fixture movement and one for the shutter.
Now the movement sequence should run at the programmed speed, while the shutter sequence should react to the Tap-Sync speed.

This would be a mighty function, so please consider it for the next update! ;)

Actually a pretty good idea.

For the time being you could get the same results by putting the movement scene in de override buttons and enable it there.
You put shutter scene in the cue and start it, responding to sound.
Now you have running 2 scenes, the movement scene at fixed speed, the shutter scene at react to sound.

Edit: Forget this, thought it would work, but it doesn't. Override buttons don't play the complete scene, just the first step.
Weird I did'nt know that. :mrgreen:

Hi Guys,

I think this an excellent idea.
Can I actually extend the idea to say that the react to sound/tap button information could be stored against the sequence when the cue is saved.

This way, when using submasters, each sequence on the given submaster would have it's own react to sound/tap settings and as they are loaded down into the cue list by pressing Next/Go the relevant settings are loaded.

The reason I ask for this is that I tend to use (as I think a number of people on this board do) the submasters to contain different elements of my show, e.g. 1 for movements, 2 for colour chases/settings, 3 for shutter chases etc etc....
I then add the various elements to create a show.

The problem is for example, some of my movements on submaster 1 would need to be smooth flowing shapes and some sound triggered kicks or pans, however at the moment all movements would receive the same settings when they are loaded down into the cue list.

Does that make any sense at all? What would people think about that, a useful change, or am I missing something?

Kind regards
Ben
