Patching Fun

Hi Anne,

I can confirm that we are experiencing the same 'problem', when deleting dimmers I can hear the scrollers and movers moving but apart from that it does not seem to have any adverse effect.

On another similar thing if I load in a new cue list and the go to Q0 to clear intensities and then go to an address (for sidelight refocus) all the scrollers reset to OW and in most cases the Q list in the master playback reverts to the previous one.

We are still running V1.2

Hi Anne,

We are running ETC revolutions, Mac 250 Wash and 130 chroma-Q scrollers (which make a noise en mass). The sequence is this:

We have a live Q on stage with movers in place and scrollers in colour, we then execute a go to Q 0 to lose intnsities, we then use the address soft key at which point all the scrollers reset as if we were doing a go to Q out and the movers reset their position as well. If you want I can send you the show file.

Regards

Malcolm

Is there an answer to this? I have just started experiencing this as well. I am running 1.2.1. My coloram scrollers move when I am in Park display and working with dimmers.

Thanks,

This is fixed in 1.3, but there isn't anything you can do to prevent it in 1.2. It may help to know what is happenning though.

 If you make a change in patch, or park an address, or use [address X At Y] to set an addresses level from live, any non-intensity parameters that are not manual and do not have a cue providing their level, will be sent to their home value. These parameters are considered "unowned" and are always displayed in gray, it will not happen to any parameters that are displayed in red, green, magenta or blue in live.

 Usually if a parameter is unowned (gray), but not at it's home value, it is after doing a goto cue 0, which releases all of the parameters, but does not fade the non-intensity parameters back to their home position.

Hey Dan,

Thanks for the explanation.
