The Lighting Controller

... ShowXpress v5 let you create a blackout scene, assign it to a button and then place a keyboard trigger (e.g, 'Z') on it and then when you pressed 'Ctrl+Z' it cleared out every other button and engaged the blackout scene, which is very nice to have a "clear" board for the next song. 'Ctrl+Shift+Z' clears out the board, but doesn't engage the blackout scene, which forces you to press 'Z' again. I wouldn't think you would want 'Ctrl+Shift+<Key>' to blank out every live button...that's no different that turning off the entire DMX loop. Is there any way to get the "old Macro" mode to work the way it did in v5?

TIA

You have to use lowercase letters in order to be able to do that (because shift key is allready used in "CTRL-SHIFT" sequence)

Well I'll be a monkeys uncle! That worked! Thanks Niffo.

Thanks for the tip guys - Sure makes life alot simpler. I use a blackout scene but didn't know about the ctrl/shft feature

Hi guys, how do you create a blackout scene that will then in live clear all show buttons?
