Why do my fixtures go to the home position

When you are in full mode all the generic/dimmer channels and all fixture parameters are recorded at their current output values, when you program a memory or submaster.

 

Therefore whenever you output a scene memory or a chase memory via the playback X (memory stack) or using a submaster, all the channels and fixtures will be affected.

 

Dimmer channels and fixture brightness parameters will be mixed in on a HTP basis, and all the colour, beamshape and position parameters will work LTP and snap or fade to their programmed levels.

 

If you want your submasters to only affect certain fixtures that you have specifically programmed, you need to put the desk in partial mode first.

 

Then, when programming memories or submasters, you need to 'tag' the fixtures you want recorded. You can also choose to just record colour, or beamshape or position parameters if required. Note - that Brightness is ALWAYS recorded, so if you don't want a particular fixture to appear in a scene or submaster, ensure that it's brightness is set to zero.

 

See the operating manual pages 4-4 to 4-11 and 5-1 to 5-9 for further information on programming memories and submasters.
