Avolites Titan, pausing fx

[DonkiDonki]

Another question to the experienced Avo users;

Is there an easy way to pause running fx? (To allow long exposure photography of a current look)

On my regular system (MagicQ) you can press Pause on any playback and the stack & the fx can be paused which makes this an easy task. Is there a similar method on Titan? (A Quartz this time)

You can use rate masters to achieve this.

 

If you want to pause everything just assign a rate grand master or if you need some separation then assign some individual rate masters and assign them to the playbacks as required.

 

Pulling the rate master fader to zero will pause but to streamline this (and not use faders if you would prefer to keep them free), you could change the key profile of the master to be latch. If you also set the scale to be 0-100% (via Playback Options) then hitting the button will toggle between go (100% speed) and pause (0% speed).

Thanks for that tip. http://www.blue-room.org.uk/public/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif

Out of interest, does the rate grand master override the actual rate of the various running fx or just controls them 0-100% relative to their programmed rates?

It's a relative control.

Good to know, thanks again.
