GM / Changing Pages

IPC running H3 v2.3.1(1932)

I'm not sure if this is working by design, but it seems like a bug to me.

Page 1 and page 2 have a cuelist on fader 1. Page 3 has no cuelist loaded on fader 1. I have the page setting to "remember fader values". With fader 1 down (output coming from other faders), I can toggle between page 1 and 2 as expected with it remembering appropriate values. When I toggle to page 3 the rig blacks out because it now has the Grand Master on fader 1 and that value is at zero. This happens only after turning on the console before giving the GM explicit value - i.e. I can move fader 1 up on page 3, toggle to page 2 and move fader 1 down, toggle back to page 3 and no blackout (as expected).

Hope that makes sense.

It seems when the console starts the GM is assumed to be at full, but that assumed value is not necessarily remembered when changing pages.

    Ah, yes. I see it behaves the same way with other HTP faders as well (only they are assumed to be at 0% until you get to their page, at which point they take the fader value). I had naively thought that setting page preferences to "remember fader values" and "leave in background" would mean that I could change pages without fear of changing the output. I guess this isn't necessarily the case. Good to know.

    So is the conventional wisdom, then, to run through all your pages prior to a show so that everything has hard fader values to remember?
