Hi
So, I am doing an annual production (yes, Christmas Carol). This is our second year and we're trying to get the MLs (VL3500 Spots and VL1000 TS) to respond exactly like they did last year. For the most part, everything is working out pretty well with one exception - Gobos in the 3500's. It seems like for some reason all of our gobos are programmed backwards from last year and I can't figure out why or how. When I say backwards, I mean that in last year's show file, we have Gobo Select 1 set to Frame 5 for example when we were supposed to be using Frame 1. And Frame 4 when we were supposed to be using Frame 2. The thing is, last year, it worked. We have Presets with a 3500's Gobo Select 1 value at 2.31 and we know for sure that last year, in the preset, the lights were in the opposite template on the wheel. How could that have been? It's like the Gobo Select channel was inverted somehow. Maybe it was inverted last year and fixed in a software update since then?
Is any of this making any sense? It's sort of confusing to write about... but many weird hard-to-solve problems are, I suppose.
