Need to toggle mute on and off using one command

mskinner

First off, I am brand new to London Architect. I have my program built, and now I am trying to integrate my button panel controller (Extron MLC226IP).

In order to have the mute button work correctly, I need to be able to mute and unmute using a single command sent from the MLC.

I can get the commands work to mute OR unmute, but I cannot figure out how to toggle.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

1. Add a Logic Source object to the logic section.
2. Link it to the mute you're trying to toggle. If you don't know how, read the bottom half of page 2 in this document: http://www.bssaudio.com/product_downloads/SoundwebLondonAppGuides/how-do-i-link-controls.pdf.
3. Right-click the Logic Source object, click \"Properties\", and type the appropriate number into the \"Auto Off\" section (e.g. if you want the toggle to take 500ms, type in 5).

Done.

Since they're linked, both the Logic Source parameter AND the mute will automatically toggle off after 500ms (assuming you typed in 5).

I don't think the OP wanted to just toggle the mute for a given time.
He wants to use the same command to trigger mute-on and mute-off in alternating fashion.

This can be accomplished by linking a momentary logic source to a logic end through a Counter/Shifter with a single output. Every time the logic source is triggered, the output of the Counter/Shifter changes state, which then makes the logic end go high or low. Link the logic end to the mute control and you have a mute toggle from the same network command.

J.Luszczek, it could be interpretted both ways... but after re-reading it, you're probably right. Either way, between our two replies, the correct answer is in there somewhere.

NOTE: \"Momentary Logic Source\" specifically means \"Logic Source with an Auto-Off value of anything other than 0\". For Luszczek's solution, 1 is the optimal Auto-Off value, because it minimizes the probability of commands being 'missed' if the end user hits the toggle button multiple times in quick succession.
