Can the virtual dimmer be LTP?

[dandanthelightingman]

I have a universe of 130+ LED fixtures running as just RGB for all the interior architectural lighting in my venue, on the same desk as my main stage rig; having a virtual dimmer is very useful on them, but it would be even more useful if that dimmer was LTP, so the room, the bar and the stairs don't all go dark when I solo!
Could a personality be modified from the basic 3ch RGB + VD to have an LTP dimmer? How would I go about doing this (I haven't tried the Personality Builder yet)?

Thanks in advance for any answers!

Yes it could with the compromise of losing preset fader control on the Expert and dimmer shapes unless you write a custom shape.

Essentially all you should need to do is change the attribute ID to something other than 'dimmer', for example 'dimmerltp'.

Alternatively you could avoid the problem by setting the LED playbacks to a higher priority than the ones being soloed.

Priority sounds the way to go, thanks; it hadn't occurred to me that priority would outrank solo-ing!
