Title: Is there a way to keep an effect going continuously through timing marks?
Post by: danj on March 13, 2015, 09:35:34 PM

I am working on "THX Intro" right now and I have a lot of little short timing marks based on note onsets from Audacity.   I want my megatree to flash on & off intermittently when all the electrical crackling noises are happening.  However, once the big boom happens I want the megatree to go into a continuous spiral effect for several seconds, while other stuff is going on.  Since I have a bunch of short duration timing marks in this section of the sequence, the megatree keeps flashing when entering each subsequent timing mark.   Is there a way to keep it from doing this?  Thanks in advance.

Edit.  Never mind.   I see that the effect keeps going continuously when I viewed it in preview.   Sorry about that...

You can also click persistent to keep an effect going across timing marks

Thanks.   I tried that; it may have been why it looked "right" in the preview screen.

4.0 which will be released soon will eliminate that problem.

I thought I remembered reading that MrChristmas; thanks for the reply.   I plan to keep chipping away with xl3 for now.  I have 3 or 4 more songs to do for 2015, then I plan to go into hardware mode and test stuff this summer so I don't get into the trap I got into last year where I just ran out of time to finish everything up!
