GIO- Motorized fader as channel/sub tracking in cues?

Hello,

 

Is there any way on the gio to have a motorized fader dedicated to an individual channel? Or alternatively, to have a sub stored in a cue remain tracked as a sub? I have a few source 4 followspots in my next show, and would love to be able to have a handle track their intensity, so it can easily be modified if necessary during the run.  If I put the channel in a sub, it takes the value initally, but on playback it doesn't restore the sub to the given level.  Is there a trick to make this work? Or is the motorized fader only really useful for swapping fader pages.  I know that I could write macros that move the sub for every fade change, but that would get messy really quickly.

 

Thank you for any ideas!

  • The best way to do this right now is to put your followspots in a secondary cue list.  Set that list up as an intensity master and link it to your master list.  When executed, the fader won't track progression, but at any time you can drop the handle down to take control over those lights - including dropping them back to a lower level than the current cue/cue progress tells them to be.

    Could you possibly have the channels recorded into subs and set up on for example Fader Page 1

    Have a macro that fires on every cue or at least everyone that the follow spots are used in, which will just refresh the fader page.

    So something like:

    [Fader Page] [2] [Enter]

    [Fader Page] [1] [Enter]

    Just an idea.. Pretty overkill with the macro executing possibly.
