I recently bought an ION and imported my Christmas show from Expression. I love it so far. I went through to patch my scrollers to the 'parts' of the repsective fixture channels keeping their old address. And I also patched my studio spots to new channels but kept their old address range.
The problem comes when I went to run my cues, my scroller 'levels' are not there in the channel part. They are still in the former Expression address/channel.The ION sees my Expression scroller channel levels as 'intensity' data. Same with the new patch for my studio spots, all imported channel data is assumed 'intensity' data.
I tried to brainstorm a way to transfer this data in to color data (or anything else). I went to the blind spreadsheet view and thought that I might possibly be able to say CUE 1 THRU 500 ENTER CHAN 201 ENTER COPY TO CHAN 9 PART 2. But this does not work probably because ION assumes the data in chan 201 is intensity data and I want to move it to color data. I hope that made sense.
Is there any hope for me other than to rerecord all non-intensity parameter data for the whole show? I guess I should be grateful that I have all my cues still :)
Thanks folks,
mark
