Dear garageCube/MadMapper community

I want to have an interactive light show controlled by a MIDI keyboard.
When a certain key is pressed, I want the connected material/scene to play exactly one round/one time and not to toggle it so it loops all the time.
I also could not yet figure out how to set a time to the toggled material/scene and would like to ask you guys for help!

Thank you for your help and best regards
Timon

Hi !
I don't understand your requirement. A Material might be a noise, there is no real start / end. For a movie, you define a loop start / end, but for a material I don't see.
So what do you mean by "I want the connected material/scene to play exactly one round/one time" ?
Cheers

Hey Matt

Thank you for your fast reply.
I will try to explain my project with more details:
I have a wall with LED pixel strips on it. If I press a key (e.g. 'L'), I want to toggle a light-line which moves from the left side to the right side of the wall exactly once.
When the light-line is moving from left to right and I am pressing the 'L'-Key again, an additional light-line should appear and move from the left to the right side exactly once.

I tried to work with scenes/cues with timer and the MadMapper preset 'Line'-Material but I could not find a satisfying solution to my problem so far.

If you have further question please do not hesitate to ask.

Best regards
Timon

you can reset the timebase of any material. that's the "restart" button. you should cue it as well.
does that work for you ?
