Programing Movers & LEDS on Fader Wings

Hey all,

I am having some trouble programming some simple LED fixtures as well as some Mac 250 Entour's on the ETC Ion console. I am wanting to program different color and movement looks to sbumasters and then just run them off the fader wing. 

When doing so I can get the looks I want but when I use the fader to control the look it must fade through other colors/positions to get to the final result. The same occurs when fading out of the fader. Is there a way to program intensity parameters, color parameters, position, etc separately to where this wouldn't happen much like on a Road Hog console. I am new to programming on the ETC ION console and am having trouble. 

Thanks for the help.

    Okay perfect. Thank you. That fixed my first problem. Now when I try to use the faders to bring up the two separate lines of LEDs (odds and evens) it pops between colors. If I try to do all red one turns green. All green works. If I try to do all blue one pops to green. Any ideas? 

    Thanks!

    Perfect. That solved the first problem. Thank you. 

    Now I have a second problem. Wheb I try to use two separate LED lines (odds and evens) and movers it pops colors and positions. If I do two LEDs it pops one to green if I try to do all red. If I do movers then fade in LEDs it pops movers into home position. Any suggestions?

    Be careful when recording your subs that you save only those fixtures and parameters that you want the sub to control. Since all non-intensity parameters (NP) are last-takes-precedence (LTP), anything recorded into both subs will change when either sub is manipulated.

    Go into blind and look at the contents of your subs. Any channel parameter that shouldn't be there can be nulled out using [At][Enter].

    If you don't want the NPs to snap their changes, set the sub up time to something other than zero.

    But the bump (flash) button does not work in this mode.

    Make sure that the home value on each is set to 0. The default is 100. When you move a sub, it starts from the assumption that all parameters start at the home value.

    If you need to change it, put all values at 0 and then record them as a preset. Then, in the show settings, make your default home value be that preset number.
