Microvision Track/Record and current cue number

I've just finished teching a show on a somewhat cranky Microvision, and discovered (the hard way) that when re-recording a cue, the default cue number is often the next cue, not the cue on the faders.  It's as if one had keyed [Record] [+] instead of just [Record].  This happens occasionally with Record and almost always with Track.  It seems to only happen in Stage.

Does anyone know if this is a bug, a quirk of the software, or a possible short between the Track and + buttons?

Thanks,

Josh

  • Josh,

    I have heard of this on very rare occasions.  A couple of questions for you...  Are you running v1.33 software?  It was the last version available for the console.  Also, are you using DD diskettes?  I know these are impossible to find but I have seen MV console act odd or even act as though they are running macros because of reading from a HD diskette.  If you can't find DD disks, make sure the disk is formatted on the console before recording shows to it.

    There could also be a hardware issus but I think this would be the more unusual case.  Let me know about the above.

    Thanks!

    David,

    I believe the software is 1.2, so that may very well explain the bug.  I am using genuine DD diskettes, though it's interesting to know that HD disks can cause issues.

     

    Thanks,

    Josh

    Josh,

    It's hard to tell from the release notes in '91 if this was a bug that was fixed or not.  I would recommend contacting Technical Services at some point to send it in for a free upgrade.  They can also check out all the other functions, give it a good cleaning and let you know if it needs any other work.  They're great consoles and I even used one last summer to do a show.

    Thanks!
