Solo Button and Scene Playback
At the top of the scenes view and on the Link controller is a button labeled “Solo”.
“Solo” will be displayed in red when turned on and gray when off. When solo is
turned on only one scene at a time can be recalled. Any other scenes that are
running will be replaced by the new scene. Only the channels that are included
with the new scene will be activated and all other channels will be cleared to 0.
When solo is turned off more than one scene can be turned on at a time.
Whenever a new scene is called that completely replaces all channels of another
scene, the replaced scene button will turn dim showing that it is no longer active.
A new scene can partially replace an old scene. This happens when the new scene
only uses some of the channels in the old one. In that case both scene buttons
will stay lit indicating that there are still active channels in both scenes.
Toggling a scene button from lit state to dim turns the scene off by fading it out
using the fade-out time assigned to the scene. A fade-out requires that a scene
contain at least one fixture with a dimmable channel that can fade to black. If
there are no included dimmable channels in a scene’s fixtures, the included
channels will be released and set to 0 without fading. Any effects attached to the
scene will also stop.
Clear Button
Tap the “Clear” button to turn off all scenes.
Effects in Scenes
Any effects that are running when you save a scene will be included in that scene.
Turn effects on or off by tapping effects buttons from the effects view. A scene
can be made up of effects without including any static channels. This allows you
to combine any number of effects onto a single scene button.
Important Note: A scene only keeps a list of effects names. When a scene
starts, it will try to start all effects in the list. If you edit an effect or delete it, any
scene that uses the effect will reflect those changes.
Important Note: Each fixture has a unique ID number assigned to it. A scene
will look for the ID of each fixture that was included in the scene when the scene
was saved. If you have removed or replaced any fixtures it may affect certain
scenes. In other words, if you change your fixtures, old scenes that used those
fixtures may no longer work as expected.
