FEATURE REQUEST: Performance mode override attribute ques

Lighting & Visual FX SoundSwitch
1

So I got some Wash/Beam multicell moving heads recently. They look great, but in certain conditions it would be nice if I could override the attribute ques for them.

For example, in daylight the wash makes the lights very dim. But if I can set them to beam, they got a much better focus and you can see the colors on them way better.

Also, depending on the mood I might not want to use the beams. When the mood is very chill, I prefer to use them as wash. But with a bit really high energy I might prefer to keep them as beams and let my uplight deal with the wash of colors on their own.

Can’t use smoke at the venue? Okay let me just override it to wash with 1 click, instead of redoing all ques.

Same can be said for a multitude of attributes on other fixtures like gobo’s, rotation speed, prisms, effects. Being able to map them to a button on performance mode would be a huge QOL improvement.

Approving this request, even though it technically doesn’t conform to our request writeup format. It’s clearly written and gets the point across.

Cool, so this means my request will get forwarded to the development team?

Sorry about not using the right format, if you could let me know how I should have done it I will do it through proper channels next time!

Oh, my bad! I didn’t realize that this was posted in the general SoundSwitch area, which of course doesn’t have the Engine feature request format pre-filled out when you start a post.

So, as far as you’re concerned, you’ve actually done everything correctly.

The Development team does regularly read these areas and do scour the forums for feedback and requests.

Cheers,

V
