Move on dark


TEGA

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

i think that I have been trying to use the Move On Dark bit on the desk.

so far I have had no luck at all.

i have a simple moving unit. All I want it to do is when in playback, move to the next  position in dark.

can someone help with this. If I cannot do it with one light then what  chance do I have with 20 of them

 

thanks

Hi,

Assuming that Playback 1 is empty, and the moving light is Channel 1:

Push up Fader 1 to turn the intensity of the moving light to 100%

Change the colour and move the position

Press RECORD and then press the MASTER GO button (this records Cue 1 onto the Master Playback)

Pull down Fader 1 to turn the intensity of the moving light to 0%

Press RECORD and then press the MASTER GO button (this records Cue 2 onto the Master Playback)

Push up Fader 1 to turn the intensity of the moving light to 100%

Change the colour and move the position.

Press RECORD and then press the MASTER GO button (this records Cue 3 onto the Maser Playback).

Now ensure the programmer is empty (CLEAR CLEAR), and Playback the cues using the GO button. Once in Cue 2, after a few settings, you should see the moving light automatically move, so when you press GO to go into Cue 3, the Position and Colour are already correct

Hi.

I benefit from move on dark all the time now and usually it works in the background without me even knowing or worrying. One mistake I made early days was in doing a record-all/snapshot cue which will stop MOD working, and understandably. Hopefully Jon’s instructions give you a starting point - subsequently just beware of the record-all trap!
