Hey,

Just a quick question. I
I've noticed that most people put PAN and TILT as separate submasters and wanted to ask why and should I? I suppose that you have more control off your fixture, but it would take ages to program it all? I'm just asking in regards that I find it interesting but I'm unsure if I should do it and how I would do it?

I understand that you would have to program everything separate as you would normally, but not sure how you split it up in regards of 120 degree pan turn and then 120 tilt turn? If anyone could explain and help me out and tell me if it would benefit me, or if I should keep it as one and call it "movements" like I do now.

Thanks
Best regards,
Nathan

I've have a look at at that "FX" thing before couldn't get the hang of it, but I'll be sure to have another a look. Thanks Spirit.

I'll ditto @spirits comments.

I use the FX and I also use the moving head shape builder.

I put dimmer and pan/tilt swquences into their own sub groups. The dimmer has a full on/open and a few fade sequences built with the FX builder using intensity.

The pan/tilt sequences are just shapes I dream up or modify.

So when I go to run the scanners, I set the shape to play and dimmer sequence. From there I just mess with direct manipulation of colors/gobos - if needed.

To me, the idea of submasters is to separate out the functions of the fixture. I just wish the submaster panel was wider.

I agree with you CaptainBetty and would like if the submasters were wider.

Thank you for your reply, I'll be looking into it.

hi sante claus is a little bit late for you but wait on the New beta and maby the SM will be wider..

Oooooooo late birthday pressie

I have set up separate moves via FX on the submasters and it works fine.

Good to hear. I'm not doing anything with it at the moment as I'm planning on getting a new laptop, which I will hopefully be getting before the next event I'm doing. So then I should be able to use it as my current one keeps overheating on me
