Feature Request - Standby Mode

Post by paulm12 »

One small feature that would be great to have is some sort of “standby mode” that stops all movements, turns all dimmers to 0, etc. it would be a toggleable mode that is a blackout in addition to disabling movement and beam FX for each channel.

I would use this before starting a show, once all the lights are set up but I don’t want to waste movement or duty cycles on the lights. Perhaps it could even have a setting to enable lamp off on lights that use it.

Perhaps Shift + Home or shift + blackout could enable it

The other option could be one in settings that says “blackout disables all movement when toggled”

Why don‘t you create an empty Preset with all lights Off and store it on Preset 1.
Preset 1 is the „boot“ Preset Wolfmix is always „activating“ first as default Preset. So whatever you load or unload into iPreset 1, it will be shown (or not) whenever you power up Wolfmix.
You can also press this Presetin the middle of the show for „standby“,of course

To do this, you simply need to create a LIVE EDIT with all the parameters you would like for each fixture. Colour, position, gobo, built in program etc.
You can then tell that specific live edit to LOCK, meaning it will override all active preset, position, colour and gobos for the fixtures you have chosen.

This is much more effective than doing it with a preset, because you can specify different Pan/Tilt positions for each fixture, rather than all fixtures assigned to a specific group, having the same positions.

just use regular Preset #1. Switch off everything on all Groups and Preset slots , disable all effects and store this „state“ into Preset 1
