Others will, I'm sure, say the same............ Drop the boys at Avo a mail or better still give them a call. Difference between Avo and Hog? Avo will sort it for you instead of saying you are doing some thing wrong. We tour a few Sapphire's and apart from occasional sticky faders, no problems. FD 8)

position chase

Several ways of doing this. 1,Build a chase as per normal then connect to it, pause and advance it manually. 2, Record each position into PB and then advance along the desk for each position. Do you want to create the impression that the individual fixture is moving to each position or do you just w...

Kind of echo Niclights thoughts, not clear on question 1. Q2, The only thing I would had to Niclights comments is ensure you are working in "record by channel" otherwise you will record everything! Another way of doing it (assuming you are busking) is to make extensive use off the preset f...

Thanks for the comments and opinions. Absolutley right in your "IMO" (took me a minute to work IMO out). The Pearl we used to tour was great when it was one show but it got a bit messy with three different! PB writing is fine but it gets a bit tight when you are using all three pages on al...

We had the same problem using the same rig with three different shows in each week until we purchased a Sapphire. Have always loved the Pearl as, for a "busking board" it runs rings around the competition (any one tried plotting a chase on the congo) but the Sapphire has the lovely LCD wid...

We had a combination of problems due to a novice installation (the guy was a qualified electrician but knew very little about DMX and the needs of moving lights). 1, There were...
