Bug: Timeline does not respect BPM of its scenes (or feature request)

Post by cperian »

When there's a scene in a timeline with a BPM driving mode, the scene ignores BPM when the timeline is being played back.

It would be nice if the scenes in a timeline could still respect their BPM driving mode. This way it's possible to use timelines for light programs that are still synced to the beat (according to the BPM settings of individual scenes).

If there's a good reason for this to not be the default behavior (I couldn't think of any), maybe it could be a setting in a timeline.

Thanks!

Hey,

I don’t think this is a bug, it’s more like they didn’t think of this. The timeline uses only the basic scene (and maybe also speed parameters) without the different drive modes.
I already reported that but never got a response. I also thought about an „alias scene“ which just triggers multiple other scenes. You can do this with MIDI but it’s rather complicated than a good workaround.

Regards,
Matrix
