Can´t Mix Effects annymore

 Hi everyone

Funny Situation: SV 7.12

I have 2 Playbacks. PB 1 only P/T FX Informations for my Spotlights.  PB 2 only P/T FX Informations for my Washlights

If I start PB 1 my Spotlight FX is running

If I start PB 2 my Spotlight FX stops and my Washlight FX is running.

If i bring down PB 2 my Washlight FX stops and my Spotlight FX runs again (PB 1 still at 100%).

What did I wrong.  I did it so many Times bevore and it would always work fine.

Playback 11 and 12 both include your Spots and Washes. They are therefore both trying to control the spots and washes, meaning you will struggle to mix them together. Without knowing how you programmed these playbacks, my guess is that you didn't double tap CLEAR prior to recording them. This means there would have been manual values present in the console's programmer, which were also included when you recorded the cue.

To see which fixtures are included in a playback, you can use Preview mode. To do this, press and hold VIEW, and tap the button of the playback you wish to view. With no fixtures selected, you can then tap the "Preview" button at the top of the Output Window on the external monitor. The parameter table at the bottom of the Output window will open, listing the fixtures included in the highlighted cue in the Cues window. You can tap "Live" at the top of the Output window to exit Preview.

To remove fixtures from a cue, go into the cue so that it is live on stage. Then select all the fixtures you wish to remove, and tap HOME. You can then tap UPDATE, and in the Update Options on the external monitor choose "Remove" instead of "Merge". You can then tap your playback's button, to remove the tagged fixtures from the active cue on this playback.

I hope this helps. If you have any questions, please let me know.
