Channel Number Limitations

Hi Richard -

In the System Settings dialog that is offered in the startup screen (Server, Offline, Settings, Shutdown - that screen). There's an option called Channel Downgrade that's normally set to 1024, but can go up to 3072 on any system.

Thanks-

Sarah

 

Hi Sarah,

Thanks for that...

My MAc 2000's will be happier with their normal munbers !

I think that what you are really after is the ability to rename the existing channels to higher numbers. This is possible without increasing the system channel count. For each channel number (regardless of the system channel count), you can enter a channel number alias between 1-4999.

There is a column called Name in the Channel List if you want to experiment with this.

Hi Anders,

If I use the 'Name' function to rename my lamps to 2001, 2002, etc can I select them by typing in 2001, 2002, etc or do I still have to select them using their Channel 'number' ?

Thanks

The channel name is what is actually displayed in the Live display (and others), so if you rename your channels, you would type the names and the only place the old channel numbers would be visible is in the patch views.

You will have to clear out names you intend to use before assigning them to new channels though. So in this case, find channels 2001... and clear out their names, then you can rename your Mac channels to those numbers. 

Thanks -
