Some channels not playing in sequencer

[David Rise]

I tested everything in HU. it sees all controllers and I tested each channel to make sure they all work.  Everything lights up when I test it.

When I run a sequence some strings are not working.  

Example.  pixie 16 - all channels test.  when I run a sequence, channels 1 thru 6 work, 7 thru 12 do not.  channels 13-16 are not used.

Another pixie 16 - all channels test.  when I run a sequence, channels 1 thru 8 work, 9 thru 16 do not.

Both of those are on the Aux A network along with 2 more pixie 8 controllers.

 

Any ideas????

First of all, those are ports or outputs - NOT channels.  Each port has many channels.  Avoids confusion.

My first guess is that you have an error in the channel assignments in the Preview.  Remember that Unit IDs count in Hex - not decimal.  Common problem.  What are the assigned IDs for two Pixie 16 controllers involved?

Got it.  It's the hexadecimal assignments.  So one Pixie 16 starts at 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, what comes after 19?

Yes, that's exactly what it was.  All fixed  now.  thank you Jim.

1A 1b 1c 1d 1e 1f, 20 21 ...

One of the reasons I prefer to assign ID on Binary boundaries.  All MSB are the same.   1x, 2x, 3x

Since I prefer Pixie 4 I break this into 2 groups (allows me to swap in a Pixie 8 when needed) 10, 18, 20, 28
