Hey guys, I started working on my light show for next weekend to see if I can get it done by then and tested. I did a fx generated sequence using my 4 novascans. Had a nice setup done and generated it.
Everything seemed to go fine until step 45 where the fade time went to 00:00:04 for steps 45 through 62. I also noticed that if i try to add a second generated FX, whether its the same one or not, all fade times are 00:00:04. Is this another limitation in the program or am I missing something? I make sure to save everytime I make a change |

You can go in and manually change the steps hold and fade times.

Yeah I knew that. I just figured that when using the fx generator, it would do the fade times for the whole sequence, just not part of it.
The other thing is why I cant put 2 fx generated sequences together with the fade times. It doesn't make sense Allen |

Ya thats one of the things about my dmx. you cant have two going at the same time. you have to try to program them together in one generated sequence. It's not easy but it can be done. This has also been much discussed in these forums. My DMX was designed as a BASIC lighting software controller.

hey jingles, I think you probably misunderstood what I was saying, but your answer might still apply, maybe.
I wasnt referring to having to FX sequences going at 1 time. What I meant was... say I do a simple circle with my novascans. This comes out to be 13 steps. I then wanna do the exact same circle, but in a different direction. So I make the circle in fx again having teh direction going the other way, when i click on generate, the steps show up, but the fade time is 00:00:04 instead of like 00:01:00 Did i explain that right. I just wanna add more FX generated steps to the end of that scene. I know its a simple fix... Just go in and change the fade times and all is well. I was just wondering if this is part of the limitation of the program by not being able to add fx sequences together in 1 scene. Allen |

Not sure if the FX Generator can do what you are asking but one thing I do for long scenes is make a second, dummy scene. I then use the FX Generator to make my new circle or whatever, then copy and paste the steps into my first scene. When the first scene is complete I just delete the dummy scene. Hope that helps. |

Thumpin i see what you mean. I get the same issue on mine. This i believe is a software bug. I'll report this to our developers.

That's a good idea Ted, thanks for the idea.
@Jingles... Thanks. I manually went in and changed the times, not a big deal, but glad it just wasn't me. Allen |
