Merging effects onto a MFK

[mikeb]

Hi

Am running 2.12 on an in-house Soulution and with a couple of LED battens created effect using the in-built effects (green sparkle) then saved it to a MFK. I then created a second effect for a couple of LED Pars, again using the in-built effects. I then recorded the second effect onto the same MFK. I changed the colour time to 0 seconds and when the fader was raised, only the second effect was output.

I then deleted everything on the MFK, created the two effects together and saved them on the MFK. This worked but I felt I wanted to add some facelight so took a dimmer fader to a level then selected record and merge but once again my effects had gone.

Is it me?

Regards

Hi Mike,

You mention you recorded to an MFK - would you be able to confirm whether you were recording to an MFK, to store an Effect Palette, or recording to a playback, to store a cue?

Hi Edward

Was storing to MFK just like I would a cue. Selected "merge" when attempting to add the changes (effect with intensity or dimmer) I wanted.

If you record or update an effect palette on an MFK, it will by default only include effect information. You would need to hold SHIFT and tap RECORD, to record all, and overwrite the effect palette on the MFK, should you wish to include attributes as well as effects. 

Let me know if you have any questions.
