Cobalt running on Congo Jr

Hi!

I just upgraded our Congo Jr from Congo v.6.4 to the latest Cobalt v.7.3 but I can't seem to light my fixtures. I have 1:1 patch and have a plain lamp connected in channel 1, but nothing happens when I set the value to anything in between 1-100%. The value doesn't even show in the channel, I only see the arrow in the selected channel changing from up to down when I change the value. I tried opening an old play and then everything just worked fine. What's wrong? (And yes, the Grand Master is at 100%...)

Hi Ida,

Try making sure the A and B faders are both up (at the top of their travel) in addition to the Grand Master at 100%. Also, check to make sure the B./O. knob is set to On (not B./O. or Freeze).

The B.O knob is not at B.O or Freeze, and both A and B faders are up. As I mentioned, when I open earlier plays they work fine. But in the start up, blank 1:1 patch new play, nothing lights up.

Incase others come across the same issue: Problem was solved -->
It seems the A and B faders were inhibited, so instead of having the faders fully up the faders needed to have been fully down.
