Starting/stopping effects

@kgallen It's HTP that's the issue. As you say an inhibit taken to zero would take them out but you have to take it down to do it and I don't think the macro could replicate taking a fader to zero, besides you'd need it to go back up again on releasing the UDK.

Am I right in thinking that PB settings include intensity as LTP? If so, would a PB with those fixtures at zero with LTP intensity and release on lower do the trick? (Not an inhibit or they'll never come on).  Leave the fader alone and use the flash button.

Not sure this would work either and don't have time to try it out or check the manual.

Is there a way to have an existing lighting state live and use the UDK button to flash it off instead of on?

Not as a "Flash" button.

One option is you could record your lighting state to a UDK, and configure the UDK's button to be a "Latch". You can then tap the UDK to turn on your lighting state. You could then double tap your UDK to flash it off.

As @Davidmk says, your best option might be to record your "flash off" state to a playback. This would involve recording all the necessary fixtures @ 0% to a playback. To do this, you will need to ensure SmartTag is disabled. You could then configure this playback's "Intensity Mixing" option to LTP. Now, flashing this playback will flash the recorded lights to 0%.
