- 1 'main' chase .. and 3 'sub' chases
- collections representing scenes in the show
- a loopback universe with 'Generic' fixtures that have scenes that fire each fixture with 255 value to use as semaphores
- attach the "page" scene's to the collections that also include the chase I want
- assign the corresponding loopback and "page" fixtures to the External Input on pages in a Frame (solo or otherwise)
- roll forward thru the 'main' chase
- Going to the first subchase, all works as expected, the right pages comes up on the frame and the chase is activated
- going from the first to the second, the DMX values change correctly per the loopback, but the page doesn't and the widget is not active
- going from the second to third, the second widget comes up not the third and they're not active
Interestingly.. what DOES work is altering the "page" scenes so that the "last" page value doesn't change but the "new" page value does. Eg .. for the first-page scene, set chan 1 to 255; for the second-page scene set chan 1 and 2 to 255..etc. While this works going forward thru the main chase, it doesn't work going backward.
