finalizing pre-cue console set up tonight for Bye Bye Birdie and this happened: (best of my memory here)
My last two steps before cues was going to be creating color palettes for all fixtures then focus positions. Already completed patch, groups, subs, etc. the past couple of days.
After doing some work on the console with fixtures off I powered all fixtures up and noticed two of my led movers did not reset to the proper position after power up. I checked their DMX addresses and they were correct. I then looked at Patch and noticed they were not patched. Supposed to have 311 through 326 however only 313 through 326 were patched. So simple; 311 through/or + (not sure which I used) 312 @ 101 enter. NOT. What happened was 311 through/or+ 312 @ 101 enter changed the command line in blind to channel 13 or some other single channel and there was still no 311 or 312 patched.
So I cleared all and entered the same string. Still changed it to channel 13 or whatever channel it was.
So I cleared all again and entered 311 through 326 @ 101 enter and it again changed the command line to a channel.
So I cleared all again and entered 311 through 326 @ Enter and nothing changed. Still had 313 through 326 showing in patch and highlighted.
So I thought I would escape the patch screen and bring it back up again. While on the Patch screen I hit escape and the console went into Locked mode.
Can't remember how I got out of Locked mode; I think I hit escape again, but once I got out of Locked mode I noticed the patch screen was completely blank.
I then went through flexi and got it back, so something changed it's mode.
I eventually went to Browser and Shut Down Console.
After a reboot the patch worked properly; 311 through/or + 312 @ 101 enter patched the two missing fixtures, which were already selected in the type field.
Any ideas?
