Startup Commands

LSS4 allows you to perform certain commands once the workspace is loaded. The settings for Startup Commands are stored in each workspace separately. You can access startup commands in the Home tab of the main menu by clicking the Startup Commands button.

Startup Commands window

There are the following commands available at startup:

Command	Explanation
Select Scene	Activate a scene from a specific bank. If no bank is specified, the currently selected bank is used.
Select Bank	Select a bank in the LSS4 workspace.
Overlay Scene	Activate an overlay scene. You can define which scene from which bank is selected, as well as Fade In, Duration (how long the scene remains active), and Fade Out settings.
Show Control	Select which show to play or stop.
Activate Demo	Activate or deactivate one of the available demo modes.
Execute Program	Run an external program on macOS or Windows.
Play Sound	Start playing a sound file.
Stop Sound	Stop the currently playing sound file.

You can use one or multiple commands when the workspace is loaded. The most practical usage is when you want to start a certain scene or show after the workspace is loaded.
