Probably just another newbie buttonology problem but here goes. I have a scene that I want to assign to a softkey. It shows that I have the Scene selected and I have programmed the soft key to Recall Scene. So far so good, now when I press the soft key it recalls the scene just fine. Now should I want to use that soft key again, I press it and nothing happens. When I go look at the soft key functions is has been reset to Unassigned. The documentation on the soft keys seems to be a bit lacking. Are they simply one shot button?
The softkey assignments are probably stored in the scene memories, so when you press the button to recall the scene, you’re recalling a scene in which the button wasn’t programmed. I haven’t actually used the Qu series, but I remember doing exactly the same thing with the GLD. If you can recall-filter the softkey assignments it will work as you’re intending.
Thanks Chris. After chatting with our local A&H rep. He told me about the same thing. Soft keys are stored in the scene. His suggestion was to program that same soft key along with each of the Scenes that we use. So far not too many scenes that this will effect so not a problem. He did hint that this may be fixed in a future upgrade. Now if they would only come up with a way to save a Custom layer I would be doing the happy dance.
