Lights Technical Guide

How Worship Tools Presenter, Companion, the house lights and Lightkey work together, and how to fix them.

← All cheat sheets Cheat sheet

The short version

NOTE 20-30Changes the whole room

House lights and, for most scenes, a Lightkey cue. Worship and Prayer leave the song's look on. Put one at the start of a section.

PROGRAM CHANGE 1-44Lightkey cue only

House lights stay as they are. Put one on song slides.

CHANNEL 2 · VELOCITY 127Always channel 2

Companion ignores anything else. Channel 1 is the Stream Deck slide buttons.

Adding a cue in Presenter

  1. Right-click the slide or service item.
  2. Choose Add MIDI action (or Edit MIDI action).
  3. Set Channel 2.
  4. Note: pick from Scene notes, velocity 127. Program Change: pick from Lightkey cues.
  5. Save. Presenter sends once per click.

  • Every scene tile sets house lights and the same Lightkey look as its scene note (see the table). Worship and Prayer set no look.
  • All On is the exception: the tile sends Only Cross, its trigger sends White. Known mismatch, left as is.
  • *Worship also jumps to the House Lights page.
  • Up / Down switch pages by hand. Any button on the Fusion Logo page goes to Home.

  • Taken off the deck: Full Green, Full Yellow, Dark Red, Dark Blue, Dark Green, Dark Yellow, Dark Orange, Dark Purple (PCs 8, 9, 12-17) and Rainbow Chase (PC 28). They still work from Presenter.

Slides page

Stream Deck Slides page

Channel 1, notes 0-6 drive Presenter: Change Item 0, Prev Item 2, Next Item 3, Change Slide 4, Prev Slide 5, Next Slide 6. Leave these alone.

If a cue doesn't fire

  • Click a different slide first, then the one with the cue. Presenter won't resend the same cue twice in a row.
  • Check the channel is 2. Old slides may still send channel 1 PCs straight to Lightkey (e.g. Only Cross was Ch 1 PC 4). Those do nothing now; change them to channel 2 and a PC from the list.
  • Companion → Variables → MIDI → lastMessage should read noteon_2_<note>_127 for a scene or program_2_<PC> for a cue.
  • Lights don't match a Home tile? Each scene trigger has its own copy of the light commands. Change a tile's levels and update the matching "MIDI scene" trigger too.

Don't change

  • Presenter → Settings → MIDI: In Local Midi Bridge StreamDeck to Worship Tools, Out Local Midi Bridge Worship Tools to StreamDeck.
  • Companion → Connections → MIDI: In …Worship Tools to StreamDeck, Out …StreamDeck to Worship Tools, Auto create variables on.
  • Companion triggers MIDI scene 20-30 (ch2) and MIDI PC 1-24 (ch2). Don't delete or rename them. To confirm the PC trigger now covers PCs 1-44.

Status

  • Scene notes 20-26 tested from Presenter.
  • Notes 27-30 and PCs 1-44 still need a test from Presenter slides.
  • Not yet tested from Presenter: Note 30, the new scene looks on 20 / 22 / 29 (WalkIn, SermonSoft, WalkIn), and Worship (21) without a Lightkey look.
  • Light bars are now in 50Ch mode: each bar is 8 sections that can be controlled separately. Changed Nov 6, 2026. Backup Lightkey project: Fusion Lights BACKUP 2026-11-06 (8ch bars).
  • Known quirks still open: the Home Offering Video tile sends Stage Sides at 1% instead of 0. The All On tile sends Only Cross while its trigger sends White.

PTZ controller FoMaKo KC-608 joystick · works alongside the deck

Front panel of the FoMaKo KC-608 PTZ controller

Using it

  • Pick a camera: CAM 1-4 keys. For Camera 5, press CAM (bottom left), 5, then ENTER (bottom right).
  • Move: joystick pans and tilts; twist toward WIDE or TELE to zoom. The ZOOM T-W slider also zooms. PTZ SPEED knob sets speed.
  • Focus and exposure: FOCUS (near-far) and IRIS (open-close) by hand. AUTO FOCUS and AE AUTO put them back on automatic.
  • Color: WBC MODE changes white balance; R and B knobs trim red and blue.
  • Presets: CALL + number recalls a shot. PRESET + number saves one.
  • Menu: SETUP, SEARCH, INQUIRE, IP, ESC and ENTER on the LCD. CAMERA OSD opens the camera's own menu.

Careful with PRESET

  • The deck's shot buttons recall presets stored in the camera. Saving with PRESET on the controller overwrites whatever deck button uses that number.
  • Never save over preset 15. It is the home shot ALL CAMS HOME recalls on all five cameras.
  • Camera OSD changes stay in the camera. Leave them alone during a service.

If something goes wrong

  • Bad shot on air: DIRECT TO LIVE on a good camera, or FTB Auto. Fix it, then come back.
  • Camera drifting on its own: Auto Tracking Off on its page.
  • Blurry: AUTO FOCUS, or AUTO FOCUS on the controller.
  • Moves too fast on air: SPEED DOWN first, or turn PTZ SPEED down on the controller.
  • No sound on the stream: OBS AUDIO LIVE dark means the booth sources are muted. Press Mute once, or play/pause if Spotify is still running.
  • Talking mics quiet on the stream: known issue with the livestream mix on the X32 bus. Tell the sound tech.
  • Slide stuck in the corner: green key button, or FULL SCREEN WORSHIP TOOLS then AUTO.
  • Not sure you're live: STREAM STATUS and RECORDING STATUS on Home.

Don't change

  • ATEM input order. The deck sends Camera 1-5 to inputs 2, 3, 6, 7, 4 and slides to input 1.
  • OBS scene names Pre Service, LIVE, Post Service. Renamed scenes break the deck buttons.
  • OBS source names Atem Signal and Sound Board Audio. OBS AUDIO LIVE, Mute and Spotify depend on them.
  • Preset 15 on every camera.

Status

  • Home, ATEM and OBS button actions read from Companion v5.0.7 on Oct 22, 2026.
