Element with movers.

Hi All.

 

I'm trying to get some GLP Impression Spot 1's to work with the Element.

I can get them to do most things I want, but I can't figure out how to make a gobo rotate to a certain spot every time.

Does this console have any way to scroll through dmx channels like an encoder can?

For ex. scrolling pan/tilt etc...

 

Thanks.

  • you have found the ML Control display, right?

     

    choose a gobo picture, then to the left you can choose the box Rot (+ or - for direction) and then use the encoder even further to the left to set the speed.

    even on a console with faders we would do it like this (with faders, but split up to the different ranges). so you can choose a gobo and then decide if you want to index it or to rotate it. this can't be done if you have one encoder that goes through the whole DMX address. that would first bring you from gobo 1 to gobo 6 to be indexed and then to gobo 1 through gobo 6 to be rotated.

    this way might seem to be a bit more complicated on first glance, but is less messy on stage

    Here is what mine looks like.

    When I hit Index 270 to -270 the gobo rotates to the same spot every time.

    I need it to rotate to a different spot.

    I've tried to play with Gobo Mode... doesnt do what I want.

    Actually, changing the value in gobo mode usually doesn't do anything. 

  • Okay... so I moved the encoder for gobo ind/spd and it did exactly what i need.
    I'm not sure how I missed this in the past.

    That wheel wasn't there until i hit Gobo Ind/Spd :: Index -270 to 270 D
    So most of the time I have playing with this that wheel wasn't there.

    I think I have it now...

    Can I change the values on the channel line by scrolling somehow?
  • ah, you missed some software updates. currently we're on 2.6.2. what's your version? with an empty command line press [About], it will tell you.
    in 2.6 a lot of exciting new stuff that previously only was available in the bigger Eos-Family consoles was introduced to Element, so it certainly is worth updating if you have a quiet moment
  • Thanks a bunch.
    The update did add a lot!
    I still have a lot to learn about this console.
    The manual and tutorials are very basic.
    I'll catch on eventually.
