Level Wheel Disable?

Hello Eos/Ion Forum

I'm becoming very familiar with the Ion desk. It's very powerful and enjoyable to program. But there's one option I can't seem to find or isn't available

What would be nice as to have the option in system settings to disable / enable the level wheel all together. 

I'm aware that this option is available in Blind mode which is cool.

I find that the level wheel is very sensitive when trying to sneak up intensities. So instead I resort to selecting a channel(s) and use the Custom Encoder Page and bring up intensities with Encoder Wheel #1 which makes trimming cyc mixes very smooth and effective. But  isn't that what the level wheel is for?

Just tapping the the console with selected channels activates the Level Wheel which is my biggest concern.

If someone knows of a formula to make the Level Wheel very fine in system settings it would be most appreciated as I've tried a number of combinations but to no avail. Please send me your input.

Thanks

  • Can't really answer your question, Johnny, but I want to ask:

    You can disable the level wheel in Blind??? Where and how?  One of my operators was commenting that the function of being able to wheel up in blind had disappeared with the upgrade to 1.9.6 (she thinks), and would like it back.

    To try to answer Johnny's second question about Level wheel adjustability:

    Try: 

    Displays, set-up, Desk, Facepanel.  There, beside the Encoder setting sliders, are the sliders for the Level Wheel (LW).  The tick factor and accelleration factor adjust how the wheel responds to being moved.  More Ticks, Less Sensitive (I think),  The higher the accelleration factor, the farther it moves once it gains speed. (same for then encoders: small movements allow for fine adjustment, but when you start spinning fast, to cover lots of ground, the console recognizes this intent and will swap from fine mode to coarse mode and zoom across the stage).

    Try for the level wheel Ticks set at 150, and Accel Factor at 613.

    YMMV.

    Clarification point.  :-).  The encoders for NPs are disabled in blind until an encoder paging key is pressed.   The level wheel is always active.
