x.spot cmy color speed adjustment

I'm trying to figure out how to STOP the fixtures from decideding by themselves whether to fade from 0>100 to take the shortest trip (thus going from fully saturated to nothing and showing the "line") -- is this something within HOG3 or the menu? Of 4 fixtures, I do a rainbow, speed it to 25 per minute and 2 of the 4 take the shortest trip. I see something in the manual about continuous vs pure mix ... but i can't find in H3 how to change it.

All are using 4.1.5 software. It's REALLY annoying. I really don't care either way which it decides to do, I just want them all to do the SAME thing. Is it a fixture issue, programming issue, combination of the 2? I understand that i'm trying to make it go faster than the fixture can "go" but it should just cut the top and bottom of the sine then right?

Try looking under "Mode" (in between "Enable" and "Control") from the slots bar.

If memory serves, that is where you can access these functions.

Hope this helps. :)

Come on Marty! Give me some credit. No, it's not there, and I was watching the DMX output too, and couldn't see any change to the CMY control channel except when I selected SPIN/random on the color itself

To be honest, I never found the function to change it on the StudioSpot 575 (with color wheels) either

No offense intended. You would be surprized how often I've seen very cabable people forget about "Enable" and "Mode".

I went back to take a look, and you are correct. With the standard x.Spot profile, there is no way to access "Pure Mix" mode in either Full Speed or MSpeed modes.

The console defaults to "Continuous" mode only.
If you use the Fixture Builder and copy from the profile this becomes more apparent.

You should probably post in the libraries section for Steve to update the profile.

If all fixtures are patched using the same library and you tell all fixtures to do the same thing and some of them do while others do something else that would suggest the main issue is to do with fixture configuration/setup.

As far as I'm aware the difference between continuous and pure mix modes is very subtle. Basically one of them goes from open - full saturation while the other is open - full saturation - open.

Thanks,

Steve
