hey guys..

two questions...

#1. is there any way to keep the design spot from losing color and gobo info when you change shapes during live play in compuware?

If I'm DJing, and change shapes from say figure 8 to spiral, the gobos reset to open, and the color back to white... Didn't know if this was just the light, or if it's something to do with the compuware fixture file...

#2.) I frequently use my design spots on top of vertical trussing, and while they look nicer than my accu scans do aesthetics wise, they are usually pointing in the wrong direction, everywhere but the dance floor.

I know how to set up buttons and create fades and all that, but every venue is different, so I just usually control my lights on the fly so I don't have to program the new dance floor.

anyhow, what I was wondering was how would I limit the range of motion to the dance floor only? I've tried playing with the constraints in the edit window, but the moving heads just seem to have a different agenda than the scanners, and don't want to play nice. I'm going to set the lights to 540 or whatever, because they're on 600 right now, that should keep them more in sync, but I'm just pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to keep my light on the dance floor. I basically want them to have the range of motion a scanner would have.

Thanks guys!

steve i will get back to ya in a little bit. and i wil e-mail you that profile. sincerely,

actually steve why dont u give me a call and i can go over it with you. i might be in and ouf of my office throughout the day but if u leave me a voicemail i will get back to you a.s.a.p.! call the number for tech support and ask for either james keeley or the compulive tech support line. sincerely,

Hi Steve, you may need to contact James.

#1 It sounds as if you are having programming issues..
In order for you to be able to have colors, gobos and movments stay, you need to learn how to use the Compu live to "program" your own scenes or looks..


#2 has to do with #1.

Best regards,

John Lopez

Okay... I know how to program scenes and such, It was just that the design spot is my only light that resets when you switch parameters.. My accu scans and accu spots never did this...

I'll get with James!


Thanks!

Hi Steve,
You didn't mention that the fixture resets.. I think you mentioned that when you select a gobo, then change movement the gobo on the software deactivates.
But now, are you saying that the fixture resets?

no, sorry, I just meant movement changes reset gobo back to open, and color back to white...

I guess it's just the fixture... no big deal...

I'll just have to get to gigs earlier, and throw together some programs...

Yes.. that's always the best.
But I would like to see what your talking about..
You say that on your Accu page you don't get this, but on you Design Page you do.
