Hi
EOS' standardization of certain parameters is a great feature! Like entering degrees for Pan and Tilt, instead of worrying about absolute (dmx) values. Thus shows can easily transition to different fixtures in different venues.
However, this concept seems a bit weakened around more complex parameters, like Gobo functions. There a lot is done via absolute values.
Unless I'm missing something?
For example: to switch the Gobo Wheel into Rotation mode requires a "Gobo Wheel Mode X" - with X being 127 for a JBL P7, 54 for Robe BMFL, 191 for Clay Paky Axcors... Yet the mode is always "rot" for rotation (as shown under ML Controls).
Is there a way to set "Gobo Wheel Mode" to "rot" without worrying about number values? It would save a lot of reprogramming time for each new venue.
p.s. With some of that stuff I'm going through OSC, which doubles the trouble.
