I am using Vixen 2.1 and I would like to have my LED sign for the tune-in radio station on constant through all 6 songs.
I have it set to stay on for the entire duration of each of my 6 songs, but it still cycles off and then back on between each song. I'm assuming this is going to wear the sign out much quicker.
Is there a way for a channel to stay on constantly, even in between songs?
Obviously another alternative is to plug it in separate from the christmas light program, but I was hoping to have the scheduled program also tell the LED sign when to turn on at the beginning of the christmas light display.

You could plug it in separate and put it on a timer.

I put my tune to sign on for the duration of each sequence. I do not notice any on/off between songs. Do you have a delay between songs? My show just flows from one sequence straight into the next. I also specify in the show setup that one profile is to be used for all sequences.

In Vixen go to the tools tab. Then select preferences. Then select sequence execution. Uncheck the box that says "reset controller at end of sequences. That should do it.

Don't worry about wearing out the sign - LEDs don't care how many times you turn them on and off.

I did the same thing as well... until I got fed up with Vixen's Scheduler's bugginess and started using Xlights instead. Xlights doesn't "reset" the controllers at the end of sequences either, thankfully. I have one sequence at the end of my show that turns off all the lights.
