Sequence - to create! What are my mistakes?

Post by mikecheckoff »

Using 2 Moving-Light, YPOC of GLP and two Scanner (HQ-Power) Extreme with freestyler.
Beside creating sequences, everthing works phantastic well.

One year ago, I have been managed to create four different sequences, when I startet using Freestyler.
Now I´ve tried it again and followed the manual but the sequence didn´t worked.
Tried to eleminate mistakes, so I programmed just one GLP YPOC Moving Head but this also did not work.
Here one base-question:
1.At the moment the channels e.g. for color between the Movinglights and the Scanner are different.
Do I have to configure the ready fixures, so that all Funktions are on the same DMX-channels?

My handling to create a new sequence:
---> After I have clicked the icon "New Sequence" I put in the data of position, gobo, color, etc. by using the windows of these functions. Then I click for the first time the icon "+" and create all steps of positioning and so on.

After saving the sequence and testing by the Cue-Switcher sometimes the moving-head just moves without open the shutter oder does absolutely noting after moving once the head on the top. In the DMX-output-mirror are at my most attempts no numbers on the pattern. Why?

It is strange, that four sequences of me are working with all four lamps perfect.
Where is my mistake in creating sequences?
(Sorry for my bad English, I´m from Germany!) Perhaps somebody can help me?!

Nooo! :-) Each fixture must have different dmx channels otherwise they will always move simultaneously (if same fixtures) or give even worse result if different type of fixtures.

Be sure to open the shutter at the 1st step of your sequence and to have the lamp/shutter channel set to snap. This often happens when doing a sequence with the shutter already open and forgetting to force it open in the sequence itself. Then the shutter channel is to off, and if you start the sequence with the shutter already off, it won't open..
