Hi there,
I've just been playing around with the desk and started exploring using linear effects to do chase sequences. very cool - definitely much nicer then step effect! I have sequence of lights I want to chase. These are Ch 201>208, 211>218, 221>228 and are recorded as group 10. I also have the same channels but in the reverse order (228....201) and recorded as grp 20.
Now, from my understanding from what I read in the manual, if you select channels by using a grp (eg: Group 20) then the effect should be applied to those channels and use the channel ordering from the group. I am able to get the effect happening on stage going forwards or backwards depending on what order they are selected in. I then record this into a cue. When I then go back and run the cue, the effect only wants to go in a forward direction and I see in the channel list in the effects editor has re-ordered itself into numerical order.
Just re-read the section in the manual covering effects and couldn't find anything to help me out. Not sure if I'm missing something here, but would love to know if I am. Ideas anyone? I've tried changing the direction of the effect, but (as far as i can tell) that just plays the sinewave backwards and has nothing to do with channel selection/order.
I have had the same problem with channel order in other relative effects before, but hasn't really caused too much grief so haven't raised the point. On a side note, I tried doing the same thing - using the sinewave (as a chase effect) over ch's 91 > 99, and I can only get them to chase in the order 99 > 91?
So yeah, I'm at a loss - would love to hear some thoughts and ideas
Thanks muchly
