Atomic 3000

We just added a couple of Atomic 3000s. I patched them correctly and the settings on the fixtures are correct. When I create a IPCB fader for the Random strobe, one of the Atomics doesn't seem to fade in evenly (and all paths are set to Linear).

I was messing around with just that fixture with an output window open. Bringing the intensity of the Atomic slowly up to 100% seems to work alright, but when I come down to around 50% , I lose my even intensity rate, and the Atomic just kinda starts randomly jumping.

The Output window seems to work, the percantages don't jump around, but whenever I mess with that one Atomic, it doesnt move evenly. Any ideas?

Oh, this brings up another question: How do I get the IPCB fader to jump the intensity to 100% at the start of the movement of the fader, so that the fader will change Duration and Rate, but will always snap to 100%. I tried setting my path to Start, but this didnt seem to help. I seem to be having the same problem with par chases, so its gotta be an easy fix. . . :sad:

    I guess the best way to do this is not to use an IPCB fader, but rather record the cue you want with a fader time of 0, and set options to be HTP and fader to + GO OFF ZERO.

    This way as soon as you move the fader, your rate and and duration should "snap" (zero fade time) and the fader will control just intensity.

    If you want to have multiple cues with different rates and durations in the same stack, do the same as above, but do not use the + GO OFF ZERO option. You will have to then manually trigger the cue you want before bringing up your fader.

    I personally wouldn't use IPCB crossfade in this scenario, since you only want to crossdade a portion of the "I" parameters and not all of them.
