Great software thanks to all who support it!

I have an external custom controller that relies on possibly repeated messages sent to specific channels. Is there a fixture group type that allows a duplicate value to be sent multiple times to the same channel (or can there be)?

For example: a 'heartbeat' is expected over MIDI channel 13 using Control Change 3 value 64. With a cuelist or other methods of sending only the first such beat is sent, since duplicate values are suppressed in QLC+. I tried the Maintenance group, thinking it might not suppress values, but, that or other groups didn't do it.

The only work around I found is to send a dummy command to CC 3. But, since there are many such commands, things get pretty messy. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

A new 'force' group type which disables duplicate suppression would seem to solve this, if it is possible...

Thanks in advance.
