Soft stack

[mrp]

Hi!

I use SweetLight with LED tubes. If I got it right, "stacking scenes" means "overweight a channel by the value of another scene". I wish there was a way to stack scenes by adding channel values. Let's say use a bit of red (70 / 0 / 0) as basic color. Now add a chase with walking red dots, stacked over the basic color.

Further idea: Having faders for values. I know, doesn't make sense for gobos. But would be great for mixing colors just like on a good old lighting console.

And last idea: What about further mathematical experiments? Using stack features to subtract one color from the other, just like negative chases? Or use "keep 100 %": Add several color scenes so in theory you could get RGB 800 / 200 / 0. Now take the percentage of the values and get 255 / 64 / 0.

Should be interesting for everyone using RGB, don't you think so? At least for me essential.

It is not possible to "add" or "substract" values between scenes.

The exact rule is last value overrides when active (viewtopic.php?f=31&t=383).

And what about making it possible...?
Right click in live view "Channel Value Add Active"....

Right now, we do not see a big interest.
We just note and wait for other users comments.

I see...

Let me just add one last comment: I've been testing hundreds of softwares (or so....) in the last weeks to find one single product to solve this small problem. Not a single one does it. I've also tested moving head controllers - don't work. And I've tested lighting consoles. These controllers can add values, but don't support hundreds of DMX channels (besides huge wings), that are necessary with tubes.

So: Here's a desperate LED tube user who can't control his tubes. Either there's a software product I haven't found yet (which can't be true...) or there must be a lot of other lighting freaks with just the same problem. Why not being the only software supporting tubes??

Hoping to here good news...
