Cue lists and NPs

I have so far only run 3 shows on our new EOS console, and I've slowly been working out those little 'why the *bleep* did my console just do that?' But to no avail, one little issue still remains that I cannot find any information on anywhere:

We are a roadhouse venue, with many live music type shows being run live. We have 2 sets of top lights, each with their own scroller, for each area. So that when one group is down, I can change the color with the color picker, then crossfade between the two submasters when needed. However, while the color remains a manual value, but no longer is actively selected, pressing back on a cue list will cause the scrollers to change their color value. Pressing go causes the scroller colors to rise in value, and pressing back causes the colors to go down, usually straight to the first O/W frame.

This happens with all of the cue lists I have tried: House lights, moving light looks, cyc light looks. And in each is simply the required channels. I also had the same problem with changing the LED cyc light colors manually, which is why I now run them with as a cue list.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance!

    NIPS run in LTP regardless of state of cue list.  My work around for this is to write very specific cue list or subs, that only have the desired attribute in them.  Scrollers tend to work best in a cue list; LED parameters tend to work better as a sub.

    Here is what you need to do:  select the channel.  Modify the attribute.  Select the channel again, and select the modified attribute.  Record Only Target.

    Chan 1 blue at full <Enter> Chan 1 blue record only sub 1 <Enter>

    Running live events requires some advance setup time; this is how I have found it easiest to control.

    Thanks for the info, I will have to look at doing it this way. I knew when purchasing the console that it's strengths would be in running cued shows, but I didn't expect it to require so many hoops to jump through when running shows on the fly.

    It is too bad that NPs are always LTP, even when the only commands they are being sent are from manual control.

    Thanks again for the help.

    I agree with you. I put up a post a while ago asking if there could be a way to assign selected LTP parameters to HTP to facilitate running a show (with scrollers) live off subs but have not heard anything.
