We are a small venue at a retirement community. We're using a ColorSource 40.
Up until now we're only been using Playback Page 1. We're trying more sophisticated things now, and want to use the other Playback pages. I have found something that is limiting what I need/want to do.
This is a simple example:
- Program Page 1 Playback Fader 1 to raise fixture 20.
- Program Page 2 Playback Fader 1 to raise fixture 21.
- Set both Playback Faders to level 0.
- Raise Playback Fader on Page 1 to 100%; fixture 20 is on.
- Select Page 2.
- Playback Fader 1 is up; it is gray and the bump button is flashing dim white. If I want to raise fixture 21, I have to move the Playback 1 fader all the way to zero, which lowers fixture 20 to zero. Then when I raise Playback Fader 1 again fixture 21 goes up as expected. This is not what I want to have happen. I want to independently control these two fixtures.
I was not expecting there to be crossover between playback pages. This is an unexpected limitation of the usefulness of having multiple pages. Is there a configuration setting that I've missed? Is there a bug in the software?
Thanks,
MIke
