Programming Focus Palette Faders without affecting Colour Palette Faders

Hey folks,

 

I'm working on a concert series for the first time and am encountering some issues with my pre-programmed moving light faders.

I've set an intensity fader that has overall control of intensity regardless of what focus palette or colour the lights are in, but I'm running into trouble when I shift between focus palette faders. I'll be in a colour (via fader) but when I add a focus palette fader to change the lights' position, they auto-change back to open white. I can't seem to set the faders to any type or mode that stops this from happening, so I believe it has to be done through the initial recording of the fader. 

Can anyone speak to this?

Thanks in advance!

    Thanks folks! Going to attempt this today.

    The one thing that I know doesn't work is the filtering of the command line. I always recorded by doing "{Channel Select} [Focus] Record Sub ..." and still it wouldn't work. I would put up a colour fader, changing the colour, but when I used a focus fader it would auto-change back to 'open'.
    What I did find that worked, though was not convenient, was keeping the channels selected throughout the show and changing the colour via the colour picker. By doing that the focus faders did not auto-change back.

    specifying attributes before a record command does work and will limit what data is recorded into the sub. It sounds like you specified the color sub recording but possibly not when you recorded the focus fader. A good way to check this is to look at the data in blind. Blind sub # enter. Channel # enter... look at the channel display in table view so you can see what the data is for all the attributes. If there is data that you don't want. Select the channels, specify the attributes, and @ enter the data to remove the attributes you don't want in that sub.
