Howdy All; Does anyone know how to get something in the Warm-Up section to trigger a lighting cue the first time through but to skip that cue any time after that? Our DMX software treats the MIDI cue as a toggle, so when the cue comes around again it toggles off.

    You could use a Cue < Stage Direction < go to the Signal tab and then use the Lighting/Midi option. That's how I was using Proclaim to trigger a scene switch in OBS Studio. You could also attach that midi note signal to any slide as well. You may have to add a redundancy slide in order for it to ignore the cue again.

    I already have the cues set up, Kaleb Kirton. I use MIDI for a lot of different cues in both OBS and the DMX kit. All of them work very well, but the one in the preservice loop gets triggered more than once. The DMX software treats each trigger as a toggle, which is great if a different lighting scheme is on when the cue trips, but if it is the same lighting scheme it just shuts the lights off. I'm trying to add a cue for the "Pre-Service Lighting" that we created into the Pre-Service Loop in Proclaim. The first time through the trigger turns on the lighting scheme -- but when it loops back around it toggles that scheme back off. I guess I could duplicate all of our preservice slides multiple times so that it never loops back around.

    Ah I need to read better next time my apologies. One thing I read that one of the devs does (Jordan) is his church uses a Sign Feed link to hold all of their pre/post announcements so you could have your first few slides to trigger the midi first and then use the slides in the sign feed website link to go through the same slide order without triggers. There is a quick loading screen at first that you might be able to hide with a transition but I've found it to be useful.
