Not sure I’m completely following the question here, but the option in the screen shot that you’ve highlighted essentially means that the select state of the “OR - Scanner POSITION” rack will be controlled by the selected song/song state. Note that this means all songs and song states will remember the selected state for this embedded rack and reselect it when activated.
Thanks Brad, this is working…
I can control the states from this Rack with my songs that’s right.
But the problem is this ‘LightRack’…
there are many states with complete scenes of my setup
What I do not understand …
Steps:
I create a new songstate
I choose from the light track an entry
I change e.g. a setting in the rack ‘ScannerGobo’
everything is saved in the song
Question:
how can I change and save the states in the ‘Lightrack’ (regardless of the song) …
e.g. because an attitude is too restless for me and I would like to change it in general?
I thougt if I open a state in my ‘LightRack’ and do a change in one embeded rack I must save this new ‘Lightrack-state’ with Save Rack…
but this has no effect to the rackstate…
everytime I build a new song and choose this ‘changed’ state in my ‘Lightrack’ I have the old values and not the new! …whats wrong here?
Now I add one more new songstate…and that happens
normaly I thought to have the real Parameter like it is stored in my rack but now it shows the changed parameter from the last Step.
The Idea was to work with the Rackstates like a ‘Template’ but without saving it shows the wrong value…
What’s wrong here…?
I just went through all the steps you’ve described here and as best I can tell it working as designed. When you select the exported state behaviour…
… you’re really this setting is no longer part of the rack’s state - rather it’s set by the parent song. So when you create a new state in the parent song, that setting gets copied from it’s current setting as stored by the song.
ie: When you created “NEW STATE B” the DMXIS Preset 8 got copied from whatever it currently was. I’m guessing you had “NEW STATE A” selected at the time so, preset 8 was attached to that new state.
If you selected “SONGSTATE 2” and then created “NEW STATE B” then it would have got the value “Preset 2”
The Exported State behaviour controls whether the exported behaviours from the rack are controlled by states on the parent rack/song and/or whether they’re further exported from this song/rack.
When this is off, switching states on the parent song won’t affect the exported behaviours of the rack.
When this is on, each state in the parent song will have it’s on set of settings for the exported behaviours.
When this is set to exported, the exported settings are pushed out one further level to the next parent song/rack.
