Congo programming help

Hi,

You can change between DATA and Palettes with the Data key under DEVICES in the ML display

Quick answer is, You can't! Only Pan and Tilt is exluded, sorry! We are working on it.

By changing the time for Focus, Color or Beam. e.g. ## TIME & Focus will set a Focus time

Hope that helps and make sense

Cheers

Hi

Thanks for your help with that.  In case anyone else was looking for it I found the Data softkey under the channels softkey. 

I just tried changing the time and it works in a sequence but not in a preset in a master playback unless i'm doing something wrong?  So what I want to do is record a cmy fixture with its intensity at full and cyan channel at full.  I then want to be able to put the fader at 50% so the intensity will also be at 50% but the blue parameter at full rather than half way between open and blue.

Is it possible to adjust levels in an active preset?

Thanks again,

Steve

Steve,

I'd love to be able to exactly that.  My other desk's a pearl, and it's behaviour is excellent for busking.  The attributes go to their full level for that preset in the recorderd time, when the master is moved only a little.   The only work around i've found on the congo,is to manually put the fixtures into their pallettes live, either with or without time, but this feels like way too many button presses, and either takes up too many masters, or requires extra paperwork to remember what goes where.

I'd love the Congo to have that ability.

Hi Steve

Bullen has indicated to you the right direction!

Using the setting in the Master tab of Settings you have three boxes:

Time on master

Rubberband: return on fade down

Daisable Master Rubberband

Then you have the possibility to record a time for the specific Master Playback where you have loaded your preset....

Because remeber that Congo is a Preset console and the the preset doesn't have any information about time....

The time information are only on playback tools (master playback or sequence)

To do what you want to do you have to disable rubberband on master playback (chek the box) and to disalble time on master (no chek on the box).

Load the preset with your moving ligths in a position with a color in a Master playback;

Then hold modify and press the master playback key;

Now move in the colunm "In" and set the time you want.

move a little the fader and the moving ligths will start to move and to change the color in the time recorded in the master playback and you can use the time you want to reach the the intensity you have recorded for that preset.

 I don't know exacly what the pearl can do (I like pearl:-)) but playing with this four setting I think you can do everythig you want with the Congo!;-)

Hi,

Just a small correction. The preset holds the attribute timing, but the "Time on master" must be checked. You can also use Master Page timing, it will use the same timing for all presets on that page.

Hey.

Thanks to all for that, I knew there must have been a way of doing it. Its probably about time i booked myself onto the course!
