I have a disco dance floor that I am trying to control/chase. Each square panel has 9 concentric rings of dimmable neon tubes in three colors controlled by DMX. There is an outer, middle, and inner neon tube of red, white and blue. I created a fixture profile with nine attributes, each one of type dimmer. I then programmed 9 presets so that I could turn on different colors of neon. For instance, an outer red, a middle red, an inner red, outer white, etc. I then created a complex chase, picked my fixtures, applied some presets, recorded some steps. When I play the chase back each step remains on as the next step is played until everything is on. Not a very interesting chase. I then created a fixture profile of one dimmer channel and a multi-fixture of 9 channels so that I could still select each panel individually. I get the same results when recording a chase by applying presets. Everything just builds on the previous step. I tried clear/blackout after recording each step hoping that it would erase any previous settings but that didn't work. If I ignore the presets and set each channel with the wheels the chase works fine but it is more time consuming. I don't understand why when applying presets that each step is held on and not released. Any suggestions to this problem would be appreciated.
