Running several scenes simultaneously

[heelium]

Hi, folks.

I´ve got a question on running several scenes simultaneously.

It is able to run more than one scene at the same time with the "multiselect function" or the cuebottons.

My problem is that freestyler is playing only the last selected scene. The other scenes are running too, but there´s no output on my dimmers.

How do I have to programm or configure the faders in a new scene to have the possibility running several scenes at the same time in the cue list?

The last scenes I programmed each fader in "fade-mode", to turn the lights from one scene off, if a new scenes is selectet. Maybe I should programme scenes with the "off-" or "snap-function" on the faders, I don´t know.


Thank you forward for spending time on my question.

The help file perfectly describes what those functions means. So you might want to dive into that for more information.

I just answered another question, which I think is exactly the same problem and solution: http://www.freestylersupport.com/fsforu ... 853#p11513

Hint: Use off.

But take a look at the help file to see why

But there´s one Problem.

If I programme the scenes with the other faders in "off-mode" and change now the scenes in the cuelist, the dmxoutput from the scenes before will keep alive.

e.g. I´ve got a programme with 4 coloured PAR64 running in an line, the same with 4 white PAR64 running step by step. Now I switch between the scenes. It would be nice to run every programme for itself. This means, if I switch between them, only one scene is runnig an the other PARs are keep off. But sometimes I would like to use both scenes at the same time.

My question is, do I have to programme the scenes two times, on time with the faders on "fade" and one time the faders on "off", or what would you like to do in this case?

For this I would reccomand the submasters. How to use is very nice described in the wiki here: http://www.freestylersupport.com/wiki/submasters
Give it a look and try if this is what you want.

The problem is how does freestyer know when you want a channel at zero or not??? If you use the restore previos option on the cue list, when you stop a cue an channel it has changed will go back to where it was before you ran the cue, this could be off

Its all possible what you ask here, but all depending on how you've created the sequences. And its all about the Fade/Snap and Off choice.

That´s it Mattotone,

setting the "Go to prervious value......" option in the setup makes it able to play different sequenes or only one and setting it "off" by pushing the stop button.

Thank you very much for this helpful hint.
