Hi all !!!

When i have a "Black Out cue", i'd like it to override submaster (in fact everything). Did not find anything in the preferences about that.
Anyone knows?

Thank you !

You can use the main master in the live window to override any intensities set by submitters. The master can be controlled by MIDI or OSC. Also controllable by MIDI or OSC is a separate subs master that controls intensities set by submasters, including effects, but not cues. (To be complete, there is also a cues master addressable by but that might not be used much. If you want to control cue levels, most people will simply write a new cue). The actions are "master@", "smaster@", and" qmaster@"

It may be possible in a future version to add a cue action that clears all the subs. Another possibility would be one that could set the subs master level as the cue progressed.

The latest beta, Version 4.7.2 (10706.1) has added cue actions that allow control of the subs master, clearing the subs, and a "Stop All" which stops any running effects, clears all effects, and stops any running sequences.

The subs master up and down will fade from 100% down to 0% or 0% up to 100% determined by the up or down fade time of the cue. These are absolute fades and not subject to the starting value of the subs master. So two consecutive cues with actions "Subs Master Fade Down" will cause the master to go from 100% to 0% when the first cue starts and also from 100% to 0% when the second cue starts. Note that the subs master will not stay at 0% with a fade down, but will jump to 100% and then fade.

The subs master was created to allow control from MIDI or OSC. Its anticipated that its use with cue actions would be limited to a fade down with a cue to produce overall blackout, followed by a fade up with the next cue to restore the subs.

Clearing the subs sets all their levels to 0% and the subs master to 100%.

Good!
Thanks a lot!
Have a nice day!
