Busking Setup „Blue-Out“ Scale and Scene Masters
Posted: 22 Nov 2025, 19:42
I use a T1 for live busking on a Windows touch laptop and am thrilled with the software.
However, I have a problem with my working concept and I can't find many busking setups on the internet to inspire me.
Maybe someone has an idea how to solve my specific problem or a completely different approach that would give me a similar result:
I mainly use palettes and presets to quickly create light shows . I have ScaleMaster for all fixture groups on the faders so I can quickly turn them on and off without having to press a lot of buttons.
I'm now looking for a good concept so that at the end of a song in a liveband situation , I only have to press one button to stop all playbacks/FX and switch to a pause lighting mood („blue out“) in which I can prepare the next song and then start it with the push of a button. My main problem now is that the Scale Masters don't really work in this concept because they are above everything else.
I was able to build the following workaround for myself:
I created a cue list (playback mode Cross HTP, so that it also gets dark; button is in the macro window) with the following content:
Cue 1: Blue mood, all lights off (I) except for a few blue bars (I, C)
Cue 2: Macro playbacks in playback window release
Cue 3: Macro scene master enter
Here, the cue list stops and waits for a go, and I can set the new lighting mood.
Cue 4: Macro (recorded myself):Scene Master Commit with 2s Fade In
Cue 5: Macro Scene Master Exit
Cue 6: Macro Release Me
In this configuration, however, the I-value does not fade (presumably due to Cross HTP) but jumps abruptly to the new value when Release Me is triggered. Can this be changed?
I would also like to trigger a macro or something similar in this cue list like “set all Scale Masters to 100%”
I welcome any ideas and suggestions!
