Random channel flashing

[Lxsparks]

Hi,

 

After programming about 130 cues I've ended up with one dimmer channel flashing on/off in about the last 3 or 4 cues (including a black out). Selecting the dimmer fader and taking it up/down has no affect, it seems to be controlled somewhere else. All other cues are not affected and that particular dimmer channel works normally normally at all other times.

 

I've also had several problems recording submasters. Clear the desk. Nothing selected (or highlighted on the PGM Window). Select fixtures and record onto a submaster. Then on playback the odd dimmer channel gets affected and starts to fade up/down with the sub.

 

I recorded a sub several weeks ago to control the house lights. Then last week I added a number of fixtures (way after setting up this sub). On playback of the sub though, all the new fixtures which have since been added decide to home themselves. In the end I re-recorded it (and now get the above issue where a couple of minor dimmers get recorded) but I don't understand how fixtures which were never in the desk can get programmed into a sub/cue?

 

Regards,

Hi Matthew,

 

Can you send me a copy of the show file please?

 

My email address is jon.hole@cooperindustries.com

 

Hopefully with this I can help you further.

 

Many Thanks

Hi Jon,

 

I have emailed you the file and as you can see from my email my problems tonight during the show took another turn for the worse!

 

What I forgot to mention that during the show, from MEM Q1 onwards the desk just became unresponsive and that's before I had to try and delete off all the house light fixtures. I am running both the keyboard and mouse off a USB 2/4 Port hub plugged into the USB port on the front of the desk, could this be responsible for the sluggish behaviour? After unplugging and re-plugging the HUB the controls became more responsive.

Hi Jon,

 

Have you been able to look at the file I emailed you yet?
