rlstephens Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Ok, I have two zones off a MC16 amp which usually will want the same source and volume...got that.i created a container for the volume, a custom button with variable to "control" setting zone 2 to the same source as zone 1 or disconnect it if i want it "muted" (because a container with the volume controls will "unmute" zone 2 on change...this took a minute to figure out!)BUT, There are times when I'd like zone 1 or 2 at different volume levels...how would one accomplish this? I played with programming for a while o avoid the container, but I don't see how to do it. What I'd like is to set zone 2's volume to zone 1's volume, but since I can only specify a vlaue, not another variable in the command...is it possible?Thanks,RobertP.S. This C4 stuff is pretty cool...as a professional developer I see lots of room for improvement, but still cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danlevine Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Once you put the zones in the Same Container you cannot have independent control over each zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stash Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 could you write a script that followed the logic of whenever you change the volume in zone 1 set the volume in zone 2 to be the same. You might be able to do this using variables. that would allow you to adjust volume in zone 2 without affecting zone 1 but whenever you adjust in zone 1 zone1=zone2 volume level.I don't have composer infront of me right now so I have no idea if this is possible, just an idea.

rlstephens Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 that's what i want to do, but you cant set volume to the volume of another zone...or from a programming perspective, you can only use literals like volume=50 or volume = volume + 1...not volume = <some other volume variable>...unless i'm missing something...Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junebug Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 i think you can do it but it'll take ALOT of repetitive stepsfor zone one select room variables and AUDIO_VOLUME_DEVICE (in device events) when AUDIO_VOLUME_DEVICE changes (script) ? if zone 1>AUDIO_VOLUME_DEVICE = 1 (actions-conditionals on zone 1) > zone 2>AUDIO_VOLUME_DEVICE = 1 (actions-commands on zone 2) ? if zone 1>AUDIO_VOLUME_DEVICE = 2 > zone 2>AUDIO_VOLUME_DEVICE = 2 ? if zone 1>AUDIO_VOLUME_DEVICE = 3 > zone 2>AUDIO_VOLUME_DEVICE = 3 ? if zone 1>AUDIO_VOLUME_DEVICE = 4 > zone 2>AUDIO_VOLUME_DEVICE = 4etc..

rlstephens Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 that's where i was headed and stopped...really need to be able to set a value to another variable's value... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
