Working a chase on a submaster

[hansdev]

Good day. I just created a chase with a couple fixtures; ie. I've place my five fixtures into a fix spot on stage, then they alternately turn on and off on each steps of the chase. That was done using the shutter set at 0 and 255. ; when this chase is copied from the memory to a submaster, and I move my slider up on the console, nothing happens. Can someone help me with this.

The second chase that I created, I had three studio color 250 move from stage to the back wall in off mode, light turns on and the color varies. Then it travel from the back wall to the stage where the band is, stops on them. When I cary that chase from memory to a submaster, nothing happens.

Ok, what am I doing wrong?

 

Cheers,

When you say "copied" or "cary" - do you mean "transfer"? Since this is the only way to get a chase on a submaster.

 

Things to check:

 

Make sure the LTP trigger level for the submaster is set to something useful like 5%.

 

If your chase drive is manual or beat (release 9.0 feature), the STEP button in the submasters section is now the one to use, not the STEP button in the Playback X section.

 

Make sure in Desk Setup-->Desk Defaults-->Submaster (accessed through Super User), the Sub Data field is set to Gen&Fix, not Generic.

 

If your still having trouble, email your show to us (techsupp@zero88.com) and we'll take a look at it.

That is correct. I tried both transfered with time and transfered without time. Neither worked. Also, the chase is automatic. It is also set with Gen&Fix in the default.

Does it work correctly on the Playback X itself?

[hansdev]

When I play the memory from playback X, it works fine. Does anyone know why my chase does not function by transferring it to a submaster? Thanks.

If you have done everything that Paul suggested then I can't see why the chase should not run on the submaster.

 

Which version of software have you got in your desk ?

 

If you could send us a copy of your show with details of the chase memory concerned, maybe we can figure out why it isn't running 8O

Seems a really obvious question to ask but just thought i'd check

 

Are all the correct masters up??

 

Also try programming channel data streight to a submaster and see if this works?? If so it may be something you are doing wrong whilst transferring.

K-Nine ~ I'm using ver. 9.0. Also, I don't have a copy of the file here with me, but will get it tomorow night when I get back to the church and email it ot you.

 

Sam ~ Yes, on all the masters. I have them up as they should be. This weekend, I will try to program directly into a submaster. In regards to the transfer, they are only two methods. Transfer with time and Transfer without time. I've tried both, and no sugar.

OK- It will be interesting to see if you can program directly to submaster. It sounds a very starnge problem and not one I've ever come across. :roll: :roll:

Hi,

my desk behaves similar to yours after the update to ver 9.0.

but it was no problem to reanimate it, as Paul´s advice

 

Make sure in Desk Setup-->Desk Defaults-->Submaster (accessed through Super User), the Sub Data field is set to Gen&Fix, not Generic.
