A couple of 1.9.8 questions

Hi all


I was wondering if someone could help a little niggle of mine - I have patched colour scrollers onto 20 or so channels as Part 2 so that I can patch the intensities onto Part 1 when I come to the production week next week. However, when I log off/switch the desk off and back on, the scrollers are now on Part 1. However if I do patch a dimmer to Part 1 then the swap doesn't happen, so I was wondering why this happens?

Also, with the new shift button, would it not be possible to access the grey 'more sk' shortcuts below the CIA by pressing Shift & shortcut key instead of cycling back and forth using the 'more sk' button?

And as I'm here, will ETC ever add a coloured bar to the Playback Status to show which is the next cue to be run upon pressing the GO button as I find when cues are linked out etc it really isn't clear at a glance which is the next cue in the playback.


Cheers.

  • Personally, I prefer to have the scroller/whatever accessory as Part 1, because then it shows up under that name in the live table instead of just saying Dimmer - If you patch VL1Ks with an external dimmer and you make the dimmer part 1, the live table just calls it a "dimmer". But that's just me.

    However, to get around this, I'd just suggest patching part 1 to some high address that's far beyond what you're using - something like 20/400. Then when you get your dimmer numbers, just use [Replace] to put the correct dimmer numbers into Part 1.

    Hope that helps!

    Yes that's what I thought I'd have to do - will work as a temp fix and hopefully the bug is sorted at some other point.
