The Lighting Controller

Yeah; what you said makes sense. Unfortunately, moving heads are about the only fixture type I don't have any real experience with just yet. I get where you're coming from now on the necessity of smooth/sine transition for moving head control and such. Programmatically, though, I'm not sure how ...

I think when you switch to manual BPM, it bypasses smooth transition and switches it to step transition.

Also, I would think you could make your own fader button for movement speed, so long as you create a two-step scene with just the movement speed channel for the scanners active, with the first ...

Fair enough; Thanks for looking into this for me!

With the fix now, each scene starts by blacking out all lights used in the scene but not used in just the first step; For a scene with 10-20 steps that doesn't start with all associated lamps lit, this becomes quite a limiting factor.

Programmatically, is there a reason to require that all used ...

So what I'm getting from this fix, is that any channel used in a scene MUST be made active on the FIRST step of the scene? Unfortunately, I've created a ton of chase scenes that utilize layering of steps such that the scene properly layers the chase over the previous scene. This fix now makes the ...

I make the scene by starting the first step with all channels disabled. I then enable the channels I want to use in the first step, and set their values. I then add a new step, which copies the first step into the new step. I then enable the channels I'm adding into the new step, and set their ...

No, single universe (or no universe, if I'm away from home w/o my DMX interface, like now)

Attached is a test show I've created; It has one fixture (six spot... one channel for each spot, plus some effects channels), and 3 steps. My intention is to have the first step turn on the first two spots ...

Through further testing/troubleshooting, I've reinstalled 6.32 and loaded this scene up; It works correctly/as intended, without the output problems listed above.

This solves my problem for the time being, but looking forward to using that master fader! Let me know if there's any other info I could ...

I don't know... I've got a fairly decent understanding of not activating unused channels in order to allow new effects to layer over old. If you're suggesting that I disable channels in later steps if they're not changing the values in previous steps, I've tried that as well, and it didn't work (as ...

Love the Manual BPM feature, but I'm running into something that I've seen mentioned numerous times: It takes a few seconds for clicks on the manual BPM button to start affecting the light. Coming from a programming background as well, I was wondering if it would be possible to set up the following ...
