Ok, so:
you tell a layer to set a certain set of dmx-channels to a value you 
give tell a higher layer to set the same set of dmx-channels to a 
different value then the mixer applies the rules for the layers and 
decides which value should go to the dmx-output.

BUT, the mixer ONLY looks at the active channels.
So if a channel is active with value 255 in Layer A, and with the 
command g0a inactivate all channels, the mixer will see no change, and 
the output willl still be 255 on that channel.
Is this correct?

I allways have a 'Background' layer as a bottom layer, so the mixer will 
allways see a value for each channel.

Just out of curiousity, why does the mixer not recognise an inactive 
channel as set to zero? Is there a situation where you want the mixer to 
remember the last known status of a channel before inactivation?

Is there anyway to clear or reset the mixer to set all channels to zero?
