Hello,
I want to control one DMX Channel with two different faders (in the future, one of them will be linked to a midi controller, the other one to OSC),
My setup is a lot more complicated, but this little file I attached is enough to show a possible bug (or maybe just a misunderstanding on my behalf ? )
When I set the DMX Channel to HTP, all is well.
But when I set it to LTP, only one of the faders is actually controlling the DMX output, the other moves fine, but has no effect.
I have made a quick example.
What is happening?
Did i not get the Concept of LTP?
LTP not working with 2 Faders on 1 Dmx Channel

hi, it would be interesting an explanation from a developer,
in your example the slider 2 is having the precedence, I guess you've created it later if this matter (?) and it could be somehow related to the behavior that I've found for the XY-pad:
https://www.qlcplus.org/forum/viewtopic ... 29&t=14533
2 solutions
_ slider in level mode, set the properties to "monitor the selected channels"
when changing to the slider 1 you've to reset the slider 2 - but not the contrary (?)
_ slider in playback mode, use a copy of the same scene
the slider has to start from "0" to take the control.
attached your test with the scenes.
regards

Bug confirmed - win10 QLC+ latest v4.12.xx
I can state the bug that changing a (dimmer) channel to LTP-mode limits level-mode sliders to only one slider responding/influencing outcome.
As a work-around:
I tried it with native 'LTP'-channel fixtures and LTP works.
I added a mover fixture and tried to simulate LTP on a PAN-channel with 2 sliders in level mode. This works.
Next I created a 'dimmer'-fixture in LTP mode.
(I mis-used a PAN channel with a label Dimmer to be sure to mimic native LTP behavior)
Put it inside your personal fixtures folder; restart QLC+; add the LTP dimmer.
Added 2 more sliders in level mode. Checked through DMX monitor.
LTP works with this fixture using 2 sliders in level mode.
Adapted project file & fixture definition in annex.
