Congo programming help

I have a couple of questions about programming the congo that i hoped someone could help me with. 

-Is there a way of changing the parameter value display above the wheels to show a percentage or absolute value instead of a pallette?  Its helpfull to see when your lights are in the values stored as pallettes but I also like to be able to glance at them and see that for example the pan is at 50%?

-What value do I need to set in the highlight column of a template so that the parameter doesn't change when put into highlight mode?  I'm using some adb warps and highlight mode changes the lens and focus settings which is quite annoying when you just want to check the focus of a single light in a group.

- Is there a way of changing levels in presets that are up on master playbacks? I know you can do it in the preset editor and in sequences but when running a basic show on playbacks it would be good to be able to select and dim channels beyond the playback level.

-Is there a way of setting playbacks so that colours and positions will reach their recorded state before the fader is at full?

 I'll have my foot poised ready to kick myself as I'm sure some of these things are basic programming knowledge!

  • 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,

    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.

    Sorry about that, didn't have a console in front of me.

    Hi,

    In the Setup under Masters, try to check the "Disable Master Rubberband" and "Times on masters" and see if that helps. Rubberband is the function that makes attributes follow the fader.

    Make sense??
