Laser kill button and audio trigger not turning off lights

[DJ Cyber]

First of all I love this software...well done Massimo! I use this software for mobile DJing.

I found that when a button is used to turn on a fixture (like an ADJ Revo 3 in sound active mode) that when I unclick the button the light remains on. I realised that for some lights that I had to add a "Kill" button to stop that particular fixture (not a big deal). But this does not seem to work for my lasers. Is there a way to ensure that when a button is unclicked or when the "kill" button is hit that he light actually goes off?

Second question... I have an audio trigger set up to do a simple 3 step chase with 4 led pars stepping between r,g and b to the beat of the song. When I turn off the audio trigger the pars remain on at the last state they were in when the audio trigger was turned off. Is there a way to black out those lights when the trigger is turned off?

Ok maybe one more question if you will... how do I know if a button, slider, chase etc is LTP vs HTP?

I am running the most recent version of the software on a Pentium 6200 laptop with 4 gigs of ram and an enttec open dmx pro dongle.

Thank you all in advance for your help.

OK I resolved the first issue....it appears that in the fixture creator that the dimmer for the light was set as an effect and not intensity.

I still need help with the second issue and an explanation for the third.

Hi DJ Cyber,

Your 2nd question:

How does the software know when the audio has finished? It can't. You are telling QLC+ to change colour with pulses of sound, not flash once during each pulse, which could look like a strobe if you're not careful.

I believe only a manual kill button (in a solo frame?) to stop the sequence is the way to go. Attach the button to a keyboard key and a simple tap will stop the chaser. You may need a black scene to pull the faders down.

Your 3rd question:

Read the glossary under the program's help pages: LTP. Intensity type faders are HTP (brightest fader wins), movement and control type controls are all LTP (latest value set by any controlling function get's sent down the wire).

Hope that's clear?

So you are suggesting that I add a kill button within the solo frame (along with the audio trigger)? I'll give that a try :)

Thank you for verifying what I believed to be true about LTP and HTP.

If you will...I have one more question (or issue). I set an audio trigger to display only 5 spectrum bars and then I save it. When I reopen the workspace the audio trigger screen defaults back to 13 bars (which messes up the sound to light). Any ideas?

Thank you very much for the help BTW.
