Touch & Cue Questions

[LJ_krede.dk]

Hey Guys.

Here are my Questions:

If i turned a cue from loop to run once, it works and stops on last step. But it is possible to "Stop" the cue? It is still running (but halting on last step).
Example: i have two cues "dim up" and "dim down" (the cues are setup to run once and they are static cues), after i activate "dim up" the cue shows running in the touch interface (and cue interface also). That is a little bit confusing, though some still show that they run, but they do nothing more. Is there a way that i can configure the cues to really stop after running once.

No, Freestyler works that way. you may think it is "wrong" that way, but for my needs its okay. for your issue i can see that it would be nice if the sequences deactivates after they have endend, but not in my case. I have some sequences for my movingheads when i'm using them for stage light...

for example.
When I activate a sequence in the cue list, it will decrase the intensity of the moving heads, move the them to a new position and increase the intensity slowly. When i deactivate the sequence it will decrease the intensity again. so i neeed to know when it is lighting or not.

maybe it would be a could idea if the you could adjust this setting depending for your needs.

I have saved some Cue Lists. In the touch interface under the "CUE" option i can select those saved cues by pressing "<" or ">" but i cant find the name of the current selected cue. Is there a way to do this?

no, but i can see your problem,, that would be nice if the name was showed. an temporary solution could be to make a sequence whish has the same name as the cue with upper case and put in as the first cue. then you can see which cue you have on the screen.

im not 100% sure what your problem is.

From what i have found by testing.
When a cue is run (with the loop turned off or run once) at the end of the cue you are unable to restart the cue from scene one. (Bug)

if you are wanting the lighting to return to there original values once you have stoped the cue, hit blue arrow labeled restore values.

Now if you mean, you have two scenes in your cue, 0% and 100% fades.
And you stop the the cue whilst the light is at 50% but the fade continues to 100%. Then this is normal. The stop button stops the cue from advancing to the next scene. But will continue to fade to the current scenes values. In this case 100%. Maybe a pause button is what your after which would freeze the scene at its current value.

This feature would require listing in the features section of the forum.

With the fast cue switcher. this has been an ongoing bug.
Where if you start a cue on one "page" and then change the page a cue on the same line is indicated as playing. Even though it is not. Pressing the cue on the 2nd page will stop the cue on the first page.

I think i finally get what you mean.

When your run a cue, it goes through steps E.G 1 2 3 4 5 6 and then stops on seven.

But the play stop icon on the left hand side is not updated.

This is not a bug or an error but the way it was designed.

Say your led strips are programed to Dim Up, they would go from 0% to 100% and stay lit.
Pressing the stop button or making the sequence stop would make the Leds go back to 0% ( or the previous value before the cue was run.)

If this is what your trying to accomplish program the last step in the cue to return to o%.

but thinking about it you may just want the LEDS to dim up to white and then drop back to the last value.
if this is the case possibly an override is what your after. And another plus towards the overrides being able to play sequences!!!

Your cues are fine.
The icon hasn't updated because technically the cue is still running, But no more steps.
If you programed a cue a the last step was running a bezzier shape, the bezzier would continue to run until you manually stop the cue.

If you want your lighting to return to there previous "State", theres a button on the cue list called restore values (its a bent arrow). So when you stop a cue they will return to there last state before the cues where ran, (usualy will be blackout unless you have set a scene manually.

Its freeware, not open source.
You could contact Raph and see if he is willing to send you source code.
