  1. If the show is long with a lot cues, and then it's too complicated for you to remember "what to record at this time" or to record again scenes just for an additional effect, why don't you record the basic scenes of your show as usual with the master playback (and then go, go, go, go ... until the end) and use other playbacks (submasters)"live" for the effect you want to add often in the show ?
  2. Hi, it depends of how you're working with the desk and which kind of fixtures you're using : 1 you're using multiple playbacks in a bank o several banks a : you're using traditionnals fixtures then no problem to have a playback that overrides an other b : you're using multiple dmx fixtures (moving heads, rgbwa leds...) (then take a look at my topic "chase question 2") 2 you're using the master playback as a master "go" for the whole show same thing than in the 1a and 1b but using a playback apart from the master playback Hope this helps, but i may have not well understood your request cause i'm french and i'm losing my english regards, Thierry
  3. "re"formated" the usb stick and now update ok with the second attemp, everything fine
  4. I'm not going so far 🙁 Thank you again, Edward
  5. Of course "red 100%" and not 0%, sorry about that. If i understand better, there is no way to create a chase which works regardless of the "base colour" in background of an other submaster. So if i want it to work, i have to create a chaser each time dedicated to the "base colour" involved in the other submaster ?
  6. I'm absolutly okay with that. So, if i create a "green" chaser for example (dedicated to run over a "red" submaster), I need to specify "red 0%" for all other fixtures at each step ? And your answer is "yes, it means that if specify all other colours at 0% for each steps (tagging them manualy), then i'll be able to run the chaser over "any colour" submaster else ?
  7. I understand what you've done but... it's not what i mean. I want it working regardless of the colours used : your blue chase is builded to run with a full white submaster in background. My answer is : is there a way to built one that works with any other submaster with same fixtures (whatever if it's white, red, green, or anything else..), and how to ?
  8. I've finally rebooted the desk, i'll see what happens after lunch
  9. Hi, me again, I try to update to 7.14.2 and the popup window software update says : "reading segment 88" but nothing happens... What to do ? waiting ? switching off and reboot ?
  10. SHOW 31-01-2024.zos Hi Edward, In this "show file", you'l have to look at the Page 3 Submaster 26. My problem is that i've created it by editing and fixing mistakes, so that i can finally have what i want . At this point, the blue chaser is mixing well with other submasters with same fixtures excepting blue depending of intensity. The question is : how to do to create it properly ? And in a second time, how to do to create the same chaser so that it overrides step by step an other submaster with the same fixtures involved (and not mixing colours) ? I mean : SUB 1 (4 ParLed W) and SUB 2 (same 4 ParLed chaser B), and i want to see WWWW then BWWW then WBWW then WWBW then WWWB and loop I hope i'm clear enough , thank you for your help.
  11. Hi Edward, We all need it, no problem at all. It's ok now, thank you.
  12. Thank you to have had a look at the "Show File"... I've tried everything, smart tag on, smart tag off, smapshot, cue only, but i can't make it work as i want to... Everytime there is the colour of the previous step in "background memory" that is still there and does not allow me to obtain what i want... I assume i'm doing something wrong, but what, that is the question...
  13. Hi (again...), Having a look at the "outputs window" while running a chase, i can see that the "colour attribut" remains the same in every step . i expected that : (ParLed1 step1 intensity 100% / colour 100%) then (ParLed2 step 2 intensity 100% / colour 100%) (and ParLed1 step 1 intensity 0% / colour 0%) ... but i see that : (ParLed1 step1 intensity 100% / colour 100%) then (ParLed2 step 2 intensity 100% / colour 100%) (and ParLed 1 step1 intensity 0% / colour 100%)... It's annoying cause if i run the chase (even if LTP) and at the same time a submaster memory with the same fixtures involved but with a different colour, i get a mix of the colours and not an override... To be more precise, a submaster with 4 ParLed White, then i run a chase with the same ParLed but in blue, i get full white then mixed colour during all steps of the chase (W1/W2/W3/W4 then mixW1B1/W2/W3/W4 then mixW1/B1/mixW2/B2/W3/W3 until the last step... The blue colour of the chase is staying in backgroud... Instead of having B1/W2/W3/W4 then W1/B2/W3/W4 until the last step.. What am i doing wrong ?
  14. Hi everybody, I would like to know why the last step of a chase is not reacting like the other ones : I've created a chase with 4 Par Led and i wonder why, when the chase is running, the last step is not fading out before to loop to the first step ( crossfade is working well between steps 1, 2, 3) ?
  15. Perhaps that can be done easily in the next ZerOs ? We just have to ask to Edward or Jon ...
  16. Hi, Raise your playback to full, then adjust your fixture (being LTP mode), then push the "update" button and the playback involved.
  17. Hi, To be more precise, Today when i select the Robe in the fixture section : - the macro window shows 17 macros from 1006 to 1022 (1006 is "lamp on") (macros ar working fine). BUT - the real MFK show 22 macros from 1001 to 1022 (page 51 & 52) (macros are not working at all). One more thing, Yesterday, when i started the desk, the macros (the Robe's ones) were organised differently with differents ID (for example "lamp on" was 1011 and it was working fine too ...) but same problem with the real MFKs. I hope that will help. Regards, Thierry
  18. I've checked other MFK and same issue, no response. But using the macro window, everything's fine. Clearing the macros in the set up changes nothing.
  19. Hi Edward, Thanks, I've tried using the macro window and then it worked 👍. According to the macro window, yes it is. Anyway i don't have other fixture macros or user macros, this is the only one. But using the MFK, the lamp is not responding...
  20. Hi everyone, I'm actually trying to switch on my Robe using the MFK "lamp on", and nothing happens. My 4 Robe 600E Spot are selected in the fixture section, and when i go to the Macro section (page 51... is that normal ?) and push the MFK number 1011 "lamp on", nothing... Previously, before having restarted the desk, the MFK was number 1016 on the same page 51, but the problem was the same. Pan, Tilt, Cues, all OK but no "lamp on". Any idea ? i'm running 7.14, everything is updated
  21. Finally it was my fault, i must have done something wrong, but now it's ok, new profile IRGBWS loaded and then default attributes changed into 0% all, so that my old memories can live a little bit more. But a question remains, is there any way to manage the library with the tool editor and Windows, like we used to do with the old "ift" format ?
  22. Hi, I've found a fixture profile (generic LED IRGBWS) which is working well with my LinearLed. But now my memories are wrong because the default setup for the LinearLed is 0% for the color attributes, and the the new profile is 100% per attributes. I don't want to record again all my memories, so i would like to know if there is an option to edit the profile. Where can i find the GFT v40.ift library to import with the toolt editor the profile i need and reset it to 0% (rgbw) ? I've also tried to change the default values with the desk but with no success.
  23. Ok, if necessary, i can send you the manual of the Linear Led, cause perhaps there is something wrong in the way we've created them with the fixture editor, and i'm sure you know better then me how to do it correctly. Thierry
  24. Good Morning, As requested, my showfile... (wow, sounds like an Elvis Presley's "Soundboard"...) Regards, Thierry SHOW 29-03-2023.zos
  25. Hi Jon, Actually i can't, i send you all tomorrow morning. Regards, Thierry
