Return from Flash Scene

[padawan]

Hello everyone,

I'm experiencing a slight issue using the flash scenes in DVC4. Let me try to explain:
1) a RGB PAR Can is beeing used in live mode, LTP ist set on some the faders from e.g. midi controller use, thats fine.
2) I start a scene on the can, e.g. a rainbow effect. The scene overrides the LTP faders - fine.
3) I trigger a flash scene - e.g. strobe - on the can. The flash-scene overrides rainbow scene (2) - fine.

Now the issue:
After stopping the flash, DVC returns to the fader settings from (1). The scene from (2) is still active, but does not impact anything anymore.
I hope I could point out ehat the deal is. Is this a bug? Or by design? Any ideas how to solve it?

Hint:
In DVC3 - using the "effect"-functionality, DVC3 returned to the correct scene.

Regards,
padawan

Hey,

Could you please send me your showfile ? I would give you an answer, but I first want to make sure I understand what the issue is here.

Thanks for your reply. I created a small demo-file:

Hey,

Right, thanks for the showfile. The reason for this happening is that LTP values management don't save the order in which LTP values are set. What happens is :

• Start scene 1 : the scene doesn't use Dimmer channel, so value = 0
• Set dimmer value by hand : LTP value 1
• Start scene 2 : the scene uses Dimmer channel, LTP value 2
• Stop Scene 2 : LTP value set to last playing scene -> value = 0

Although, there is a bug : if none of the playing scenes use this channel, the LTP value should be used. I'll see what I can do about this.

Thanks for reporting and sorry you had to experience this.

Regards,
