Live Buttons Do Not Trigger Any Changes When Pushed
Posted: 29 October 2017, 20:44
Hello,
This is my first time programming Show Xpress. I watched all of the tutorials on youtube and did smll experiments to test my knowledge in betwee tutorial segments. I am stuck on making the Live portion work. Lighting Controller 8.2.24, Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6.
The setup is for a small stage at a performing arts adult day care center. Simple control via Ipad was the need for colored and white stage lighting and 2 moivng heads for spotting a center stage solo performer using both or evenly spaced duo one for each. Lastly, for party days turning the movers to sound active mode was wanted.
Live Page:
Par Hex Fixtures:
10 Different color buttons, Red, purple, blue, UV etc.
1 Master Dimmer assigned to control brightness for all Pars
Moving Heads:
1) White color, fixed position for both movers pointed center stage for solo performer
2) White Color fixed poisiton L and Fixed position R. Each moving head is pointed at one of the two performers
3) Dimmer for spots as a group
4) Fader for Color Wheel to adjust color (Do not need this step but was going to include to be cool, they said all they need is white)
----------------------What I did is below this line ----------------------------------
I got the fixtures input and placed them in 3d view to make sense for the viewer.
I made a scene in step view by adjusting the slider values to make: R = 255, Dimmer = 255 Saved as "Color Red Hex Par" scene.
Adjusted values to G=255 Dimmer = 255 Saved as "Color Green Hex Par" scene. Repeat that for 10 colors. Any time i load one of these in steps it outputs correctly on the 3d viewer.
Anomalies - W = 255 shows no color in viewer, UV = 255 Shows no color emitting from fixture on 3d viewer
Then i clicked live to access the live tab. I made a button page called pars and loaded all the saved color scenes into it. All the buttons appeared. None of them work. There is a suspect looking greyed out S at the top left of each button. Greyed out usually means something is long but that S wasnt in the version back when the tutorials on chauvet website were around or the resolution is to poor to see it.
If I right click any button and click edit, it opens up in the steps editor and I instantly see the changes to the 3d viewer without clicking anything else. Like literally when I click edit from the live window, it snaps to steps window and my 3d viewer in the corner will be on and red or whatever color I am editing.
YES I CLICKED THE ICON IN THE TOP RIGHT TO SEND LIVE BUTTONS TO 3D VIEWER AND MIDI. I also did this for each scene in steps window.
Similarly when I right click a master fader and set it to effect the dimmer on every single fixture, it also has no effect on the scenes or 3d viewer.
What am I missing, I know it is something slight. Almost there but so stuck.
