weirdness

Strange. What version date do you have installed? I do have a new release but it is a beta. Let me know if you want the link.
Sincerely,

I downloaded from the website in April '11. On the road right now, so I'd rather not lose what I have, but when I get back I'd be into trying the beta.

If you are using a non beta release then when you install the beta it installs to a new directory so you wouldn't lose anything. You would just have to copy your files from one folder to the new beta folder. Let me know.
Sincerely,

I had a trio of gigs over the weekend and I had some issues with Compu Show. One issue was having to bounce back and forth between Compu Show/Easy Show for keyboard based triggering(a necessity), but I had issues with any light ADJ 64 LED Pro set to a specific DMX starting address, it would hang until an INIT was issued or I manually intervened. It was odd. It didn't do that in the January 2011 release which I used in April 2011. I ran the August 2011 Beta.

Other than that, it was rock solid. I'd like to see more profiles for MIDI controllers(like the Novation Launchpad), and Korg NanoPad. Using MIDI may have helped me not have to bounce between programs.

We also had an issue where we stopped on a scene that used ground fog. Took me a few seconds to figure out how to fix that one! The scene used ground fog so I had to go into Compu Show and INIT that fixture.

what release date are you using? hit me up on yahoo tomorrow and we can go over this and troubleshoot.
Also you might want to think about making some emergency "shut off" switches that way should a problem arise wit ha fixture you can cut that off.
Sincerely,

That's what I sorta did. I use the "-" to be my INIT trigger. I also use the INIT quite often in my show designs. LIke, if we go into a blackout, I'll use INIT scenes on ALL the different fixtures to ensure they get nuked. Fortunately, this over-done effort served me well.

The only bad side is I can't replicate right now. Mostly because I can't set up everything. The 3D Visualizer didn't show the light hanging. But, I, as the rest of the cast and crew, do suspect some gremlins in that facility could be to blame.
