dramatechws Posted May 20, 2023 Report Posted May 20, 2023 So tonight we have a band in. I set up a load of playbacks with different colours on banks of LEDs so that I could pick and mix. Each one worked perfectly the first time of use, but it was as if it never went off again. Whenever I tried to use them again, just white light would fade up. Not very useful for a gig! Had to busk the whole thing live. Any ideas what's going on? I tried adjusting every setting in the playbacks with no joy. Quote
kgallen Posted May 20, 2023 Report Posted May 20, 2023 Upload your showfile. Lots of things could have gone wrong in your programming - sounds like you maybe didn't record what you expected to, and then when you lowered the fader, it released the lights and the fader, once pushed up again, didn't have the programming in you thought maybe?

Sounds like settings have been changed in your show file. By default, raising a playback will change the recorded fixtures to the recorded colour, as expected. As @kgallen mentions, there could be various factors contributing to this behaviour, so a show file would be helpful. Based on your description, the most likely candidate could be that "Release On Lower" has been disabled for the playbacks. This means the playbacks never release after having been used for the first time, meaning it is impossible to "re-trigger" them, because they've already been triggered.
