Override LTP Value

Post by cg2506 »

Hi there,

I am using Cue scenes to start my scenes and thats working fine for me. This year I bought two ADJ Kanjo Spot 60 moving heads. I mapped their dimmer to an encoder of my Akai APC 25 Key Mini controller. This encoder sets and LTP value.

I have a scene that sets the dimmer of all devices to 0. This works for alle devices but not for the moving heads. I think its because of the LTP value which has preceedence over all other values. Is there a way to achieve this?

I hope you understand my problem.

Best regards, Christian

Hi TomHat,

sorry for the late reply. I was not able to attach the showfile, because it was too large. Even if the zip file was smaller than 2MB. So I uploaded it to WeTransfer: https://we.tl/t-lyIhvkKmiG

Thanks in advance!

Hi Christian,

I have downloaded your show file and I tried to understand the issue.

While a scene is running (example : Oval), the manual dimmer fader overrides the dimmer value stored in the scene.
When the scene "Off" in "Kanjo moves" group is started, it overrides the dimmer channel again (because of LTP - Latest takes Precedence). When the "Off" scene ends (because the loop is disabled), the latest manual dimmer value comes again.

A workaround should work as follows for Kanjo :
1) Modify the "Off" scene because the dimmer value is set to 255. I guess you meant to set it to 0.
2) Set the "Off" scene to "Always loop".
3) You can reset the manual values at any time with All / Family / Select buttons in Live mode (or create buttons on a show page).

Hope this helps.
