By the way, the Led Curtaisn are simple RGB Led Backdrops, 6 DMX channels each I think. The panels are one of those generic mid-res panels and the imagery comes out of Arkaos running on a regular laptop using a DMX In-USB interface.

My friend is about to start touring with an artist who travels with some basic led gear and an Avo 2008. He (and me of course) want to know the better way to patch, program and run the setup, since we saw a lot of times other guys with very similar setups over here getting stucked in the mid of conc...

Thanks Nic!! I've been using these color shapes on some DTS fixtures and they work really great!! Another shape I want to achieve is like this: 1)a row of fixtures (lets say 8) is open white 2)some shape like "dimmer pulse 1.1" run through fixtures, dimming them down to zero, one fixture a...

It is possible to create some color shape based on "dimmer 1.2" shape? The idea: all fixtures on color 1; then, one or two fixtures will turn into color 2 and the rest remaining on color 1. Next, other fixtures will turn into color 2 and the rest remaining on color 1. The same idea of dimm...

Thanks a lot Nc!

In terms of labeling, using a VGA monitor, its possible to label individual steps of a chase?

Thanks Nic!! This is another effect I want to have! Great!! My question is if I make a 4-step chase like this: step 1: 'a' fixtures on, the others off step 2: 'b' fixtures on, the others off step 3: 'c' fixtures on, the others off step 4: 'd' fixtures on, the others off How to get a crossfade effect...

Jumping to steps would be possible? In his example, instead of going 1,2,3...10; when raising the fader and hit GO, instead of the first step, to go directly to step 6 for example.

By using the arrows to navigate through steps I always lose the fade/wait in-out?

There is anyway to use shapes for groups instead of individual fixtures in 2008 software? For example, if I have four groups consisting of 6 fixtures each and apply "dimmer spread", I know I'll have the dim efect cycling through fixtures, but it would be antway to do it between grouos? Thi...

Thanks, Nic For example.. last week I was on the opening act for a concert and the main LD programmed the desk earlier than me using avocache shapefile. Then he left the console for my programming on remaining playbacks and I use to run my custom shapefile which have less shapes (only the ones I use...

1-Recently I programmed a concert with some DTS fixtures (XR250) and a couple desk channels and saved it to my usb stick on a Pearl 2008. If I load this show in another Pearl with lets say some SGM Giottos instead of DTS, re-patch fixtures and rebuild the palletes/groups I used previously,the progra...

I made two unlinked chases addressed in playbacks 1 and 2. In the Simulator, run mode, raising the faders and clicking the swops of the chases I can run the steps individually in the way I want. In the 2008 it is possible? I just tried this weekend on a Pearl 2008 and couldnt make it this way. My id...

I'm trying it on the Visualiser and made two unlinked chases: 1-positions 1, 2 3 2-colors blue, magenta When I raise the color chase, it runs ok with the position chase, buto when I lower the fader, the position chase or keep the last color of the color chase through its steps; or came back to white...

Is there anyway to have multiple unlinked chases running simulaneously on the Pearl? I just tried in the Simulator (Pearl 2004 I think) creating a position chase/no colour information/recorded by fixture and a two-step color chase/not position info/recorded by channel and then unliked both. I intend...

It is possibe to use shapes to fade between looks? For example if my first look is open white and the second blackout. Then I want to dim down the fixtures not all at once, but using a shape such as "dimmer spread" in order to blackout'em gradually and assimetrically. Now I'm using a Pearl...

I still don´t got completely the shape syntax, so any helps will be welcome! For my tests I'm using Mac250Krypton: RANGE 3 ;Colour 0 0 "Open" 1 10 "Op/CTC %3d%%"0+(((c-a)*100)/(b-a)) 11 11 "CTC" 12 21 "CTC/Ye %3d%%"0+(((c-a)*100)/(b-a)) 22 22 "Yellow&quo...
