Problems with override

Post by svaronalli »

Hi. I have a set of 3 groups of moving heads for 3 different areas of the club.
I made three different pages of override buttons and created static and dynamic sequences each of the set related and affecting only the specific set of lights.
Dynamic sequences are just using shapes for pan and tilt , regular slow movement.
I then connected the sequences in the override button pages but one of these sets doesn't work properly. It is staying frozen, no movement of the heads, while the other two are working fine.
I tried to create again scenes, even starting from one of the scenes working fine but still those lights are never moving.
If I start normally the same sequence this is working perfectly

What can be? I missed some settings for those heads? I see the show output and the pan tilt value is not changing at all if the scene starts from override while perfectly doing if started from a cue or the sequence window.

The override buttons will only do the first step in a sequence. It's like a toggle switch.

It will not read a sequence of cues for moving heads, this is why they don't move but will move in the cue window. The override buttons weren't built for this purpose, but more for quick colour, strobe, beam changes etc without doing too much programming if you don't have the time before a show.

Hi.

Yes yes I know, but this sequence is made with only one step and the step is including shape movement for the moving heads, something that in the other two sets is working fine.

This is why I expect it is working fine as well.
All the sequences are similar, one step, one color and gobo, and a shape movement. Just only those heads are not responding. I don't know ilwhat to do

If the other two sets are working fine, then I'd check your programming again. It can be a simple error that's throwing it off and it doesn't like it.
