Hahaha thank you ChatGPT ! We are not useless (yet).
Thanks for the kind words (and the honesty, no offense taken at all). Really glad you’re enjoying Photon 2.
When you recall a preset directly from the Light Contrôles view, it applies on its own and clears whatever preset was active before it. Presets recall exclusively by design, so tapping a Spot preset overrides your Wash preset, which is exactly the color change you’re seeing.
To get the layered behavior you’re after, build it on the Dashboard rather than firing presets one after another. If I’ve understood your rig right:
- One Dashboard button mapped to a preset that drives all of your wash fixtures (your blue / orange / red looks).
- One Dashboard button per spot (singer, drummer, keyboard, bass).
Because Dashboard buttons hold their own state, triggering them one at a time stacks them instead of replacing each other. So you tap your wash look, then tap the spot for whoever’s soloing, and the wash stays put underneath while the spot sits on top.
Give that a shot and let me know if it works for you. Good luck in Live mode, fingers crossed it does the trick. Cheers!
