Problem with sequences

I am having a problem with my sequences I have programmed. Basically i have programmed about 10 different one step sequences that control 19 different adj par 64 LEDs for stage lighting. With this I manually fade through some static scenes with each different song. Recently I started experiencing a problem where it is keeping some of the traits (colors) from the previous sequence and mixing with the current sequence causing the color to be off from what I programmed. Is there something that I am doing wrong or something that I can do to different to keep this from happening? Thanks for any help!

Hi.

No this isnt wrong, it just depant on how you like to Control this..

First thing you need to know is if you open Sequence creator and you dragg a Slider you will see a Green "FADE" this means that that Channel is recorded to the Sequence.

As example you have the Red, Green and Blue channel.
If you Record the Red channel To the First sequence.
and the Green Channel to a Second Sequence.
This means if i PLay the Red sequence it will only Change the RED channel.
Now if i PLay the Green channel it keeps the Red channel active so you get the color Yellow.

Now if you Create the Sequence like this.
Red 255 Fade, Green 0 Fade, Blue 0 Fade.
and a Other one.
Red 0 Fade, Green 255 Fade, Blue 0 Fade.
Now as you see i Recorded all the RGB Channels to one Sequence.

So if i Play the Red sequence it says Red 255 (ON) and Green/Blue 0 (OFF)
and i you play the Green sequence it says, Red/Bue 0 (OFF) and Green 255 (ON)

Hope this makes it Clearer...

You just need to Look REALY good at the Channels if you set it to "FADE" or "SNAP" These channels will be Recorded to the Sequence.
If you make Multi-Step sequences Then also Look realy good at Each step/Scene This also need to be correct.

And Channels with "OFF" will not be Recorded by the Seqeunce creator.

And we call this "LTP" Latest Takes Precedence. = “Whatever was just said – let’s do that !!”
