Check the controller and channel number by clicking one of the buttons along the left side of the sequence editor. That should tell you what unit # (controller) and circuit # (channel) it's on.MikeH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can, then we can download it and see what the issue(s) could be.I really think what has happened is you may have added another controller (this happened to me too) and I didn't change the Controller ID or channel ID's, so I had two controllers operating at the same time as the same unit. So the lights on BOTH units were dancing when only ONE should have been, And I think this is in all probability the issue you're having.So if you could upload the sequence so we can take a better look and find out where the problems may be stemming from, we can help you fix it.

Ultamitking73 Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 i don't know how to put IMS's on this sight yet but i only have the one controller i put it on my site last night i think it would be interesting to see if it did the same thing there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Ultamitking73 wrote: here we go maybe lolJust looked at your sequence, didn't need to run it (don't have the song), but there is a BIG ISSUE! You have Controller ID #1 and several of the Channel Buttons duplicated for different display elements. Now I don't know if you did that on purpose or not.But for example here is what I found:(these are just a couple, you have about 5 or 6 more in there that are duplicated!)ch14 mini trees, Snemand 2 are both listed as Unit ID #01, Channel 14ch13 flakes n bow, Snemand 1 are both on ID #01, Channel 13Like stated you do have many of your ID #1 channels duplicated, this is what is causing you the problems you're experiencing.I think you actually have TWO controllers set as the same ID #. That would cause this issue.It appears that the Controller ID #01 is the one you have duplicated in several different areas. From what I can ascertain, the other controller ID #'s are fine, just controller 1 has the issue and this is why you're seeing lights dance that shouldn't be turning on, so this would, in turn, turn on those same lights in a different part of the sequence.BTW: I did this when I first started sequencing too, and it liked to drive me insane, but I finally printed out my channel info and found what I did that created this headache and finally fixed everything!Then when I got my second controller I ended up setting with the same ID # as my first one, and that made it even worse trying tio figure out what I did wrong!

Ultamitking73 Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 very interesting ideas but 1 main problem i only have 1 ID 1 controller this is the only song that does this all the other 99 songs work perfectly lol hmmmmmmmmmmm but i will look at the config just to triple check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultamitking73 Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 i see what you mean though now that is cool thanks to bad no prize for solving the problem except for a HUGE thanx for explaining that I thought there were phantom dots where there was nothing lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOLGlad I could help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultamitking73 Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 Thank you so much i thought i might have do delete that one but now it is resolved i like it and it all danced on it's own and i didn't have figure out how to move things around but at the same time there were some holes that i need to iron out now i know how to do it get rid of the dups and move what i want there around thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately I figured it out on my own. I kept trying to figure out what I did wrong for about a week or so before I relaized I had used the same ID and Channel #'s in the sequence for different elements and parts of the sequence.Then when I got the second controller, I used the same ID (DUH! just wasn't thinking) and went through that for about 3 hours before I realized I didn't set the new controller number to Unit ID 02. Gad, I felt like such a doofus too. ROFLSo I was glad I was able to get your sequence and look it over, it helps a lot to have someone check over something like that to see what the original sequencer may be missing that could create such issues. It is so funny how one can miss the obvious when its right in front of them too.I've worked with well seasoned engineers that have done this as well, so it happens to all of us at some time or another. Unfortunately for some of us, it's more than others!:shock:Again, glad I could be of service and help you resolve the issue!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultamitking73 Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 yea that would be true if i had sequenced it myself then i could see myself going huh? what did i do wrong lol but i got it like that so strange never had that problem in all the other songs so that's why i was puzzled now engineers are another story especially in front of my house lol the south side doesn't have sidewalks my side does so they put handicap ramps on the south side not on my side lol so several months later after asking them where was the brains in that they are doing the ramps on my side so yes EVERYONE has brainfarts lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 D.O.T. (Dept. of Transportation), has got to have some of the wackiest people working in there I've ever seen! They repainted a road where I used to live, the road had two straight through lanes and a left turn lane, when the idiot repainted the arrows, they painted the left turn just fine, the center straight through lane was still correct, but the right lane they didn't paint the arrow properly, they just painted a right turn only arrow instead of the straight arrow with a right turn arrow coming out of it.It confused everyone because now they weren't sure if they could still go straight across in that lane, yet, no signs were ever posted that said "Right Lane Must Turn Right Only"., not only that, now traffic was backing up and everyone wasn't getting through the intersection because of this blunder. After about 2 months, they finally figured out they screwed up and came out and repainted the lane correctly. After about a million complaints probably.Me, no signs posted stating its only a right turn, so I'd still use it as I always did, and go straight across.Sometimes I wonder when these buffoons will get their heads out of their butt-crack and get things done correctly the first time through! Oh wait, it's the D.O.T., it'll NEVER happen!I actually worked for the D.O.T. in one of their offices as a temp for a few months, I was amazed at how stupid they do a lot of things. It literally drove me crazy seeing how they handled road issue complaints amd then how long it would take before they'd do anything about them!
