scenes messed up in my sequence

Post by micla »

Dear forumusers,

Can someone please clearify this for me:

I'm using a 2 watt rgb laser on the cs400rgb fixture profile.i spent some hours on making sequenses and I was under the imression that my sequences got messed up after some playback and further programming. So i made one just to test:

I made a very simpel sequence with just 3 scenes scanning just 1 beam in 3 colors ( each for 1 beam ) in a triangular coordinated figure to find out what excactly happens.all in static modus and all channels on "snap" If i start this sequence in the cue list ( only one there ), everything stays fine as long as i leave it just playing. No deley differends and steady beams. But,.... if i alter any of my 12 channels and play around with my fixtures, my just programmed sequence becomes messed up; delays are no longer the same in length on playback, and my beams are not steady anymore. At 1 time i lost a complete scene at all leaving me with just two scenes. in another go i was left with only one color for each of the 3 scenes.

On a complete restart of freelancer, starting this playback again i can see that the values of all 12 channels are set back to 0, except for channel 12, witch is color on my fixture.

How can a recorded ( saved and put in the cue list ) sequence be altered by something? it's (should be) hard coded.

What im i doing wrong? it's impossible to make a nice steady shows like this if they keep changing like this.

Thanks for any reply

and sorry for bad english

When the sequence gets messed up, does it show in the DMX output window aswel?
( Output -> Show output )

If the DMX values in the Show output window change, something in Freestyler messes up your sequence.
If not, it might be the dongle or something in your DMX string.

Either way, this excludes some of the possible causes.
