Programming and cue playback

Post by DJBODKIN »

When changing cues some of my fixtures seem to carry the previous sequence over to the next cue!
This does not happen on all cues eg.. A strobe cue then a slow colour change cue but the fixture keeps flashing and will keep flashing on every other cue.

The only fix on the night is to disable all cues and close the cue screen – open the sequence and clear all sequences with the NEW Sequence button (bit extreme)
Now I think I might be programming wrong or maybe it’s my UDMX Stick.
Basically I want to select cues and they run their own sequences. (bit light Martin Light jockey / 3032 etc..

If you write a scene with a strobe value to turn strobe mode on for a fixture - let's say like pushing up a virtual slider, you need to remember that it will eventually require a zero or an off value in a different scene or sequence to push it back down to 'off', otherwise with no new instruction the strobe value will just sit there indefinitely.
You could edit your existing cues to 'snap' and a zero value for strobe on each first scene.

Alternatively, you could assign an override button for strobe playback - since this would release all its values ones it is deactivated.

Agreed. Especially because the Override button can't run multiple steps. If you create scene using the strobe channel of the fixture you should be Ok to use it with override to get the desired effect.

Thank you I see what you are saying now - so the override is the best option.
I would prefer this as I have so many programs.

You advice is much appreciated
