hi claude,
I'd like to control sub intesiti via osc with qlab
/cmd.lxconsole/sub: 1@80 simply switch to sub window of sub number 1, is there a way to get fader of sub 1 at 80% with an osc command?
also setting a time and value directly from qlab with osc could be nice (for channel control the command /cmd.lxconsole/1@%p #v# work)
thank you!

osc command to control a sub
Re: osc command to cotrol a sub
In Qlab send the following message:
/cmd.lxconsole/SUB-1 #v#
OSC Settings should be
OSC Message - Patch ?, 1D Fade, 30 fps, floats, duration of whatever time you want, fade in from 0 to 1.0
/cmd.lxconsole/SUB-1 #v#
OSC Settings should be
OSC Message - Patch ?, 1D Fade, 30 fps, floats, duration of whatever time you want, fade in from 0 to 1.0

Re: osc command to cotrol a sub
hi Claude, the osc command you suggest doesn't work for me.. instead this works: /cmd.lxconsole/s1@%p #v#
why?
and another question:
I'm using 10 submaster to control light for an installation using Qlab that sends osc command for fade in or out sub with different times and curves.
I've programmed some chase using lx sub master and looping led light color changing with Qlab. The loop could be changed with another one (another colour) at any time somebody press a big red button, is there a way via osc and qlab to fade out looping subs "reading" the intensity of each sub at the time the button is pressed and fading from that value to 0? at the moment if a sub is near 0 and fade out starts the sub go to full and back to 0.
Have you got any suggestion? i think about use master sub to go to black and back to full with the time of sub fade in and out.. but if possible i'd like not to pass from black out in every transition.
Thank You!
Luca

Re: osc command to cotrol a sub
LXConsole will set the level of a submaster in response to an OSC message with either address pattern, /cmd.lxconsole/SUB-1 or /cmd.lxconsole/s1@%p.
It sounds like what you are trying to do is complex. In order to really understand what is happening you'd need to post a lot of details. Running an effect off a submaster involves the settings for the submaster as well as the effect. Additionally, if you are controlling the submaster with a fader, there are options for faders behavior in the setup window as well.
It sounds like your effect controls both intensity and non-intensity subchannels. When using the effect on a sub, you almost certainly want the effects options set so that the non-intensity subchannels are proportional to the subs master level. Otherwise, these channels may jump when the sub is moved from zero and the effect starts. The effect may jump around when it starts or stops (when the sub leaves or arrives at zero) if there is a time set for the effects Master In and/or Out. Those should both be at zero when controlling an effect with a submaster.
Also, if the same non-intensity subchannels are being controlled from more than one effect, submaster, or cue, it can be difficult to understand where the resulting level is coming from. It may be surprising, but, it will be correct, based on the last preset/sub/effect to set the non-intensity subchannel's level. Proportional non-intensity subchannel levels are easier to understand because the resulting level is always the highest level of any controlling preset/sub/effect.
Also, Please do not tack on an additional question onto the end of another post. I know it is easier to reply to an existing thread. However, unrelated replies will not be answered and may be deleted.
