hello,
I've written a fire chase in an efx cue: 6 steps, 24 channels, positive, random. When I go the cue I see the chase running and, if random is enabled I see points where all the channels go dark at once. There is no empty step. If the cue is written as simply positive then the cue cycles through the steps and goes to zero (no value) at the start of each cycle. Does the chase cycle always start from a null value state.
Our work around has been to give all the channels a floor of 15% but it creates a noticible point in the cue that is not particularly fire like.
Another work around would be writing two cues and running them on subs concurrently.
However I'd like to understand why.
