ML Panel v Profile

Modes are monsters! (at the moment anyway). I put together a very simple experiment. My "Exp1" fixture has 3 parameters. Chan 1 is Intensity. 2 is a "Color Select" with 2 modes based on virtual parameter 3 "Color Wheel Mode". This has 'Select' and 'Rotate' labels. Back in #2 the 1st mode has a few parameters for color selection and some more for rotation. All is well and good. The 'fixture' is patched and in live selected.

In my Color Select panel in the ML I see Select and Rotate fine. And with Select highlighted am free to choose Red, Green or Blue and then see the values change in the appropriate DMS address. But, I cannot select the Rotate cell to see my 'Spin Fast', 'Stop' and 'Spin Slow' choices. That side of the panel (Select Rotate) is locked? It's a big picture that I hope lays things out to be easily understandable.

  • Thanks!  I think I figured this out.
    1. In color wheel mode your user min/max match.  It gives an error that ranges cannot match.
    2. When attempting to make this a mode of color select you get a message that when using a virtual mode ranges and user ranges must match each other.  Yours do not. 

    Error: 

    Fixed DMX and User ranges (sorry I did the wrong name!): 

    If you make the DMX and User ranges match each other in the Color Wheel Mode then this should work.  We just need to resolve the two errors it was giving you.

    I do think there is an argument here that the errors should occur sooner and you shouldn't be able to bypass them if they will render to ranges useless.
