On MA2 OnPC, working with ChromaQ Battens and ColorADO 72 Battens.

I’ll enter something into the programmer, clear out, and my fixtures will retain their values. I started a new showfile patched just the lights, and they will not clear out with “clear clear clear”.

Tips on diagnosing why?

ETA: Blind and BlindEdit are both off, fixture responds when I put directly call parameter values (either with DMX values or selecting the fixture and using encoders to change a value). They just will not return to their ‘home’ settings when I clear out.

Heyo,

So I’ve been programming a Timecode show and
having this issue with effects. When the effect is selected in the programmer it works as it should but when I store it into the cue in the cuelist, it comes out looking different, sometimes the timing is off, but sometimes it just looks like the selection is entirely different. Ofc there are many variables that I assume that would affect this, but these cuelists get pretty long with the songs I’m doing and it’s hard to track down what would be the issue.

All the effects im using are absolute and selective, if that’s any help.

And sometimes the effect will be fine and then suddenly it’ll be different, whenever i store fade times for fixture parameters I always make sure to store it in the specific cue in the cuelist and not the cue entirely, am I messing stuff up without knowing it?

If anyone’s dealt with this, help would be much appreciated!

EDIT: I think it has something to do with there being dimmer values in the cue, I’ve included a photo in the comments. The fade column in the problem cue was green for some reason, so I overwrote it to delete any info, the green disappeared and the effect worked as normal. How do I find whatever fade/dimmer values have been stored in cues, because I scrolled thru the cue columns and couldn’t find anything

Cheers

Ive been banging my head agains the wall on this one simple objective: i want my dim fade effect for my lights to not turn on all my lights when i initiate it, and instead want to be able to choose the effect, and then fade in my lights.

I run my light's intensity on faders as tempfaders, and i would prefer to run the effect as an executor button that i can toggle on and off.

At the moment when i toggle the effect all of my lights turn on regardless of where my faders are at. Like i said before i want to turn the effect on and then bring up the intensity with my faders.

Can anyone help me with this? I tried group masters which gave me what i wanted but then my strobe sequences arent working unless my group's faders are up and id rather be able to leave those DOWN and still initiate strobes.

Thank you!!

I set a 2sec offtime for a executor, but it also offtime the MixColors attributes. Is it possible to offtime only the Dim attribute?

Does anybody know how clear the fixture which not used again?

Thanks
