Light effects from cue points

[tfm...@gmail.com]

I have a working prototype to fire OSC values to Lightjams from Djay Pro's saved cue points. Say I have the following with the respective OSC mapping:

• Cue point 1: intro (/djay/cue1)
• Cue point 2: buildup (/djay/cue2)
• Cue point 3: drop (/djay/cue3)
• etc.

Next I want to assign effects to these cue points; e.g. cue1=all red, cue2=all green, cue3=strobe

I have existing effects on the fixtures. How do I design these new effects and overlay them as an OSC message is received? How do I clear the effects which means whatever effect was active gets restored?

I hope I explained this well enough.

Hi,

To activate grids/groups when an OSC message is received, you can use a formula like this for the activation slider:

trigger(osc.onreceived(0), 10 /* time in seconds */, 0, 100, 0)

To overlay effects, you set the precedence of the effects that you want to take over to a higher value. For example, you set the precedence to the grid for the all red effect to 10. So when it's activated, it will override all effects with lower precedence and when you'll deactivate it, then the lower precedence effects will be still be playing. You set the precedence of grids in the grid manager (view/grids menu and then select a grid).

Thanks Mathieu, I'll try this out
