Effects on subs and simultaneous intensity effects

Hello there, don't actually get our Eos until Monday but after training there are a couple of things I'd like to ask:

Is it correct that effects can't be put on subs? (At least until ver 1.5?) Anyway round this?

I need to make several intensity chases (for a block of 25 downlight parcans) and run them on top of each other. That doesn't seem to be possible either? Is this issue going to be addressed?

Cheers, LIam.

    When a cue list is setup as intensity master you should be able to use the handle to master the levels for the list on that fader.   You will have to do this manually. You cannot use the main playback to control intensities in other playbacks.  At least I’m not aware of a way to do that.

    Thanks Matt, maybe it wasn't set as an Intensity master - I'll try that tomorrow.

    Cheers, Liam.

    Sry - didn't see your question.  The short answer is  - anytime I want to have an underlying effect playing while hitting specific musical moments with the same fixtures.

    On the strobe side it's usually some large randamized tempo chase - which will then layer with a sharp tick for the snare drum and a specific pulse for the cymbal hits.

    Since we're not splitting timing on our subs yet I would do pulses through a step effect where Step 1 sets the NIP of the Strobe to full (Step time 0,  0/1/0) and Step 2 would control the INT of the pulse (Step time 1.1, 0/0/1).    

    On the conventional side - I run multiple chases through large arrays of golf ball lites or pars, etc.  Again it's usually some underlying effect - a gradient fall or a wave - mixed with some kind of zip across or tap with hits/tempo.

    With our rehearsal schedules I always have to build it all blind and mix it live.  The band special stuff is never set up and left out.

    :-P
