Lights with multiple "Modes"

djarbz opened this issue · comments

As an example, I have a moving head, this light supports a zoom and a rotation.
I would like to be able to control these independently, but there is only one mode category.

It might be beneficial to be able to configure individual channels of a fixture on the Light Scene page.
If so, I would want to be able to set a min/max on that channel per scene, for example, throughout the program, I may want to have my zoom be available for the full range, but this particular scene only 50%-100%. I thought I might be able to set this from the ramp modulator, but I can't move the graph up or down, just towards or away from the middle.

@djarbz I converted an existing ticket to add Custom Parameters to an issue. This will allow users to create their own parameters to control from the lighting tab. I think that will be the cleanest way to incorporate non-standard fixture channel types into Captivate's flow. I'm also going to add more standard channel types, such as:

  • Zoom
  • Rotation
  • Speed

Can you think of any other standard channel types you would expect to see in DMX lighting software?

I think that should cover it, I can't think of anything further off the top of my head.

NEW FEATURE: The main branch now supports CUSTOM CHANNELS that can be modulated like any other parameters!

So you can create custom channels for zoom, rotation, speed, etc. as necessary.

These features will make it into the next build.
