Martin MAC's have a small dimmer delay (some kind of fade out) if speed channel is set to 0. Set it to 3 (or 1%) to get maximum dimmer speed.

I use ArtNet (from Expert) to control WYSIWYG - everything has always been fine.

you can rise fader just a little (few % is enough) - chase will start to run and you will be able to control chase speed, but no actual output will be visible. However this is true only for HTP (intensity) chases.

Expert startup error

Had strange behavior of pearl expert today - after turning it on, there was no action on LCD or external screen and after few seconds I heard series of approximately 2 second long beeps. My intuition told me that this could be bios error code for problems with RAM memory so I removed memory sticks, ...

It seams like restart (reloading show on freshly booted console) did solve slowdown and jitter problem because i can't reproduce it neither.

I have done similar effect with simple approach - you just create simple colour chase, but add dimmer parameter to it. So each step contains: dim 100%, colour red or dim 0%, colour white. Color mixing is much slower than dimmer so you see the white flash just after opening fixture dimmer. This worke...

Expert 'Block All Shapes' problem

After busy festival weekend found a strange behavior of shapes when using "block all" shape - i had a program, that contained "block all" shape for 1 fixture. When this playback was risen, everything happened correctly and it did stop all running shapes for that particular fixtur...

I would like to add that implementing autoload function in chases would be great, because you can change speed of chase faster than speed of cuelists.

I haven't used autoload at all but a question came up - does autoload fades in playback that it's autoloading or it just takes it to 100% instantly?

I have once experienced similar problem and cause was faulty fader. However I was able to get it back to 0 by applying pressure to fader - I used duct tape (God bless the inventor:) to temporary fix it.

Titan pallete fade problem

Found a bug in new titan software: if you recall palette with long fade time (20s) and then quickly decide to fade another palette (for same parameter) with short time (1s), it normally fades to second palette, but at the moment when first palette fade should end, parameter value jumps to first valu...

Will check again. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, this is how I do it - channel grid window on bottom part, attribute editor on top part of monitor, then I set options to show programmer, hit view > store > gray pallete button on upper row (usually 51st-60th pallete place). Shift + F5 to close all ...

To create variable value playback for one parameter, you should use record by channel mode - that is correct. You set desired parameter values, for example, pan/tilt position, then hit record, switch to record by channel, set mode to 2 (or you can do that later from edit times menu) and store it on ...

1st problem - error in programming. When storing CMY palletes, you should first 'touch' (change) all CMY parameters to get them in programmer (even if their values are 0.0%) and only then save the pallete. This also applies to pan/tilt. 2nd problem sounds like pallete masking - when you recall palle...
