Re: Midi Master
Yes, any usb midi controller can be assigned to most buttons in the software to act as a dimmer or a trigger. If you right click on a fader in the program you will see a link to midi controller option which will then ask you to select a button on your midi console to assign it. The software even has some of the more popular midi controllers set up for you already in the show console window icon, all you have to do is assign the button.

Re: gel color in 3d visulizer
Thanks! and No Problem. I made a design for a theater I help with, but as it got closer to the show the use of Compu Pro was tossed and I never got rid of the program. Its not very detailed and no lights are actually ploted except the work lights, but it helped who it needed to so I guess its a sucsess after all! -Homeboy

Re: need to know???
Are you actually programming the show with the visualizer, or are you just presenting what it would look like? If you are programming the show, it will be nearly impossible to get the proper representation because of how the channels on this fixture are organized. If you just want a 3d representation (and don't need the channels to match up), then use the rgb profile in the generic folder.

Re: need to know???
i am actually programming the show here in wausau to be sent to l.a. and i need the channels to match up so it wil play on the actual units in l.a. and would like if possible to be able to see what actual color is being displayed. let me know! peace! jingles!! thanks again!

Re: need to know???
Hi Jingles. When you modify a fixture in the scan library, you can mess with the unit, if you want it to project like a wash or simply be a color changing object. Its up to you how you are using it at the show.

Hi Mate, the trade show in England is PLASA, apparently it is pretty big too. I think the one in Germany is Musikmesse. Similar type of show though. Would be good to meet up with Eric if he is going to the show in London. cheers, Toby

Re: question about the vision scan 250!
i recently purchased 4 mac entours, 2 visionscan 250`s and a magic 260 controller. i`m having trouble getting to show my scenes in action...i`m really not a software guy, more hardware. i also have a dmx 192 operator w/ joy. just looking for great advice since i upgraded my lightshow from 6 Trackspots w/ universal controller (which i mastered) and wish it didn`t have lightwave protocol. let me know guys...thanx

Re: question about the vision scan 250!
Hi DJ, Those six lights are a nice set up. Your show will be looking good. What you need to learn is a few things to get going. 1. make sure you assing the right light to your fixture buttons. I'm not sure if the entour is in the memory of the magic so you may need to download the profile from the website and load it into your board using your U-link cable. If you don't have the u-link cable then you should get it. Once the fixtures are assigned the next step is to learn how to create 1...

Re: Basics of Compu Live 06
Hi D-Rey, You have a good start, but your way off. What you want to do is start all over. In begginer mode, you can't delete or start over, so you will need to switch to expert mode. In expert mode, you need to create a new show. You will be prompted to save information. Don't save anything. Also you don't want to have any demo stuff. So creating a new show will remova all demo fixtures. Now.. Create a new page with your coemar fixture, and when you get to this section, you need to say you...

Re: Magic 260
Domi, 1. 1.02 is currently the latest version. 2. When using a preset, the fixture profile must match the fixture. What fixture are you controlling? 3. You'll need to initialize the channel names. When opening the Magic 260 uploader program, close the Ulink Ver 1.08 window. Go to show forms (located on the top left corner) and select EditChName. Select Init and save. The Channel names will now appear when creating a profile. Please call me if you continue to have any problems Sergio C.

Re: Compu Live Questions
Jingles, Thanks for your help. I tried what you said, and here's what I found: 1. I do have my Cycle created under the Master page, so I tried using the Live Toolbar Button.

When I click my "Cycle 1" button, the size, dimmer and speed controls disappear and are replaced with the text: "Cycle: Cycle 1". It's like all of those features are being disabled b/c I'm running a cycle instead of a scene...

Re: Design Spot 250 Fade Issues
Yes, I agree with what your saying. The thing about this Compu live software is, it does not have a master dimmer like other major consoles. Using a MIDI console or a simple DMX console, like the Elation SD6C, you can use these other consoles external faders, that you can assing to the dimmers of your lights, then you will have dimming control of you softare as you would with the consoles your used to. However this software works a bit differenty than other consoles, so it does have a few...

For example, in reality when I look at the MH's they sit on the ground in...

Re: Compu: RGBMix colorwheels disappearing!!
Hi Level, I'm not sure what you mean by RGB color wheels? As color wheel and RGB color mixing are two different color options. For the Color wheel you have a group of color buttons. For RGB color mixing you have a color pick pallet for color picking. where you can click on the exact color you want. If this is what your refering to then you must be pressing the button rearangement icons at the top of the page. You must be in compression mode for the color pick pallet to show. Here is a small ...

Re: Compu: RGBMix colorwheels disappearing!!
Unfortunatly we kind fix it if we can't find the problem. Your case would be the first case with this issue. Before you generate a page, can you save the show, which saves your entire set up, and e-mail it to info@elationlighting.com attn: John Lopez. I'll have to take a look at your work.

Nope.. you can only run 1 scene at time. but the par cans run seperatly. So you can have a show or scene on, and the par cans at the same time.

Welcome to the forums! For the dimmer packs, whatever address you set it to (129 for your example) tells you all the address for each light. light one will be 129 and light 2 will be 130, 4 - 131, 5 - 132. so just use the faders (channels 129 - 132) to turn on the par cans.
