Starting two or more scene together

Hi everybody! I'm quite new in programming lights so I need a help for starting!
I have a lights rig with 8 led short par, 4 led spot moving heads, 2 lasers and a relay pack (for fx confetti shots)!
I found quite impossible to program scenes and steps with all the fixtures together so I think to program scenes for pars, for moving heads and lasers Grouped by type for every different moment of the songs.
Is it possible to make them start together in live mode?
Many thanks

Hey giusfre,

To start scenes at the same time, I'd recommend you to look into "jump to" feature in scene settings (EDIT Mode). You can set a very small scene (1 short step, 1 loop) to jump to several scenes when finishing, and it'll act as a trigger button for several other scenes in live.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Many thanks for the answer! It works for one scene...but how can I set this one small scene Jump to several Others at the same time? In the Jump rollout I can choose one scene at time!?!

Here comes a screenshot of the scene jump setting process :

As shown in this screenchot, you should be able to select several targets for your scene (here, scene 3) to jump to:
- 1: click "Jump To..." button
- 2: chose "Custom scenes" and check all the scenes you want to trigger
You'll need to validate the changes by clicking the "Ok" button in the bottom of the setting window.

Hope this helps.
Please let us know if this worked for you.

Which version of the software is your's? It's completely different from mine (Daslight Virtual Controller 3 April 6 2016 6667.979)?

Oops sorry, Daslight 3 only allows for 1 triggering at once. :?
My trick was only for Daslight 4. Best you can do to trigger multiple scenes in Daslight 3 would be to set them all to the same keyboard shortcut and use this shortcut to trigger them all at once.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
