Show current step in a button

Post by GROUP-PDA »

Is it possible to show the quantaty of steps in a button and highlite the current step ?
For example you displays the preset-button pop-up and when a scene is running, the slider of the preset-button moves and shows us the actual step

I don't think this is possible but if you right click and "open in editor" it will open your scene. You could control your fixture from there.

I know that you can control a fixture from the editor, but this is not the topic. What do you do when you have 3 scenes that plays simultanous, for exemple scene 1 plays the colors, scene 2 plays the gobo's en scene 3 plays the movements. It is not possible to open 3 editors simultanous.

It is not possible to know the current step in a "looping scene" button.
This feature looks not possible, because it would require too much processor time (button drawing display requires quiet a lot of processor time).

Just a note that the current software does show the "Step Name" under the "Scene Name" of a button that is created as a "PreSet".
You will have to make sure that you insert text into the "name" column when you create the scene in Editor.

I've seen it, but when you choose preset, you need to trigger manualy each step. Is it possible to show the step name when live is playing a scene by auto or BPM triggering ?

in the editor you see the step name, so i think it must be possible to show the step name in Live

Step name is presently only used for preset buttons in Live.
"Showing current step of looping scene" is noted. We will wait to see the requirement.
