Hi to all nice folks in this forum - Fredje speaking

I have found an issue... with the loopback possibilities bound to the Grand Master.
/TLDR: With Grandmaster in 'limiting all channels'-mode, the feedback of the loopback-channel -controlling the GM- you cannot control the GM - because the GM, controls the value of the loopback-channel.

Issue:
Set a slider to control a level channel in a loopback universe,
Bind this channel to the the GM (limiting all channels LTP/HTP),
Controlling the GM will limit the outcome of the loopback influence.

example:
Set loopback channel to 127 (= indented action to reduce GM to 50%)
loopback channel will 'hit' GM to 50%,
So far oké.

GM will 'reduce' all (+loopback) channel's input to 50% = 25,5%
- next cycle -
input = 127, with a GM at 50%, = 86,
input = 86, with a GM at 50%, = 43,
input = 43, with a GM at 50%, = 22,
and so on
Ending in a '0' value for GM-outcome

resolution: (proposed)
In loopback channels, an option to say 'I'm controlling GM'

outcome:
ticking the option will not influence 'touch GM' (be careful here ...)

Tried to solve it by using a submaster...
No Go (!)
Again it was influencing the outcome of the loopback channel.
(Same as before with the Grand Master problem)

But hey creative hive ... I've found a solution for this ;-)
With the use of a submaster your are influencing 'intensity' channels...
So -> change behavior of the loopback channel to NOT being intensity and hopla
problem solved

RBG fixtures, without master intensity channel, now programmable controlled ;-)
