DMX "Feedback"

[derboessl]

Hello!

 

A very special behaviour occured.

 

I use some faders as "virtual submaster". DMX out on line 4, DMX in as submaster 11-21.

 

If the trigger channel is programmed in the triggered submaster the submaster doesn´t release, even if RELEASE=YES is programmed. The submaster can be released manually [CLEAR]+[Virtualfaderbutton].

 

I know the programming makes no sense, but it took some time to find the strange behaviour.

Or is the problem sitting in front of the desk ?

 

I attached the showfile.

 

Please move fader 48 and see whats happening with Sub 1/21. Maybe [CLEAR] first program window.

 

Best regards

Stefan

Hi Stefan

 

The reason you're seeing this is because the 'additional submasters' are actually just 'channels' and so are tagged and in the programmer when you are modifying them. Therefore when you update a submaster, you are then including the information, making it difficult to remove it.

 

The answer would be to untag (remove) the channel data from the submaster by holding CLEAR and pushing the flash button under it before recording or updating that submaster.

 

The other option would be to use LOAD to update the subs, which would avoid the 'channels' having to be up.

 

Please remember that this is not an 'officially supported' feature, so the interface may not be as clean as some other features on the desk.

 

I hope this helps,
