problems with sequences after upgrade--

Post by plan_G »

I upgraded to 3.4.6 and I've got some troubles now.

This I got used to quickly :)
- Tap sync: time between the last two taps is applied. (based on other DMX controllers)

What does this mean??
- A tap enabled sequence (cue) will run at the tap speed when started

I used to be able to switch sequences and not have to re-tap - they'd adjust if I had programmed the new sequence faster or slower, but it seems now that tap is re-set if I click to a different sequence on-the-fly. Can I change this? I have a few sequences that speed my LED cans up to 200% to use for small periods of time, and also some sequences that mimic strobing... nothing works the same now.

Am I missing something? yikes. I should've tested this out before a show!

Hej plan_g

If you ask me I realy like the new system.

Yes i agree i also ask for this Feature :D

Oke on the Cue window you can say on each sequence if you like to have "React to Tap/Manaule trigger" Enabled or disabled.

Enabled means that the Sequence will listen to the Tapsynce or Manule trigger, Speed slider DOES not work.
Disable Means that the Sequence will only listen to the Speed slider.

How do you use Freestyler Cue/Submaster/Cuelist buttons/other, Also If you use the Cue is that with Multipule Sequencese Enabled or disabled

YES! allways Test it before useing.


and you can report you bug on the Bugtracker : http://www.freestylersupport.com/bugs/main_page.php
Because with New features you will also have new Bug that needs to be Fixed.

But i do agree that there are Some strange Fault with the Cue and Tapsync.

Thanks for responding.

I don't use the slider at all, just "tap-sync" and "manual" -
[and I got a couple really scary results from using just 2 taps (from not stopping my tap in the right place, and lights began flashing wildly! lol. I wish there was an option to set tap-sync back to 3 taps if desired)]

I didn't try using my submasters yet. I have a cue list I like to use in certain situations, and I normally just jump between sequences. Multiple sequences are Disabled on these. This is what was troubling, as soon as I clicked to start on a different sequence, the tap-sync reset to nothing, so I had to wait till the end of songs to change sequences or else stumble around stopping and starting a new sequence.

I was just using 8 LED pucks - simple setup, simple sequences. It seems I've lost the ability to jump from sequence to sequence and keep the tap-sync working.

I hope there is a setting where I can re-enable the sync to stay put till I turn it off or re-sync, like it was before.

Thanks--
