some strange problems with my equipment

[Guest guest]

ok, here we go:

1. ive noticed that when playing a sequence in the editor and controlling the lights to see the show, i noticed that the program hiccups every once in a wile (probaly my computer)

2. when in the sequence editor, and controlling lights, during a twinkle effect on all channels, channel 2 and 5 just remain on. they dont flash at all

3. during long slow fades, some channels flash once in a while. (this was discussed in an earlier post)

4. sometimes if i start the sequence, then stop it, then restart again. i have none of these problems

wondering if im the only one having these issues

Hi,

1. This is just because too many things are running, using all of your memory. Try going under the play menu and changing some of the options, like Move grid with play, vary color of channel buttons etc. This should help. When you are running shows on an everday bases you dont have the sequence editor open so this wont affect your show.

2. Memory problem again, try above.

3. This should be resolved with the new firmware coming out so hold tight.

4. That is becuase you are essentially clearing the memory by stopping all of the events.

Hope this helps.

Controlling lights via the Sequence Editor will lead to some problems that simply won't be there when run by the schedule/show editor function.

Since it sounds like you have everything hooked up, go ahead and create a show/sequence to test out your lights. If you still have some of the same problems, then it's something I would worry about. (or look into further)
