Uh, has anyone reported a personality bug lately?

I just checked the bug reporting link here: http://personalities.avolites.com/ and it seems like it was either attacked by spammers or there's a severe linking problem. Mixed in with about 50 random posts are one or two actual bug reports, but the overall site is pretty bad. Anyone know who to conta...

I'm finding that I actually like using the 6ch generic profile. One of the nice features we discovered was the "dimmer" channel. I realize that the Color blasts internally only have 5 channels, but using the "dimmer at 0%" function does take them visually to black. Very helpful w...

Got it. So the two profiles aren't exactly alike after all. Here's what bothers me, though: Assuming I grab each color, R,B,G and set them to 0% with the encoder wheel, and roll up amber and white to 100% with the encoder wheel... If I choose Dimmer>Store Palette>(Selected button) my result should b...

Well, our issue wasn't with encoder control, but recording color palettes and memory cues. With the TRX profile, we would record a "blue" look, clear the programmer, and try to recall it from the palette button. However, green and red would still pop up in the look. White would never recor...

Upon further testing, it appears the problem is not the operator, but the personality for the Color Blast TRX5 8-bit. Both my coworker and I were able to replicate the programming problems, so we decided to abandon the labeled profile and try a generic 6 channel RGBAWx profile. Problem solved. All o...

Pearl Tiger and color palettes with Color Blasts

Hi all, A few months ago I wrote regarding my difficulties with the Pearl Tiger and Color Blast TRX5's. I've worked with them as "dimmers" taking 5 channels, i.e., not patching them as a fixture but like a conventional, and now I am trying to work them as a fixture with the built in person...

I will try both of these options. :) With my "inhibitive" memory cue, I can select my Blasts, go to Colour>Focus>Red and my blasts go to red. As I fade up my memory cue, they fade to "black", which isn't really black, but you get the idea. With shapes, I can knock an effect out o...

So my current solution was to make a memory cue with all the color attributes for the Color Blasts at 0.0% in Mode 2. When I raise the fader it "dims" the LED's. It acts like an inhibitive sub on an ETC Console. Still a bit clunky, but at least I can get an even fade out and change colors ...

So evidently we not only have color blazes, but color BLASTS. 12 of each. Great. The color blast doesn't seem to have an intensity setting on the fixture itself, or an option in the personality. And I can't seem to get the color blaze personality loaded into the Tiger, even though I followed the ins...

Thanks! The show went very well, all things considered. I see what you mean about the memory cues. I had one wayward mover that reset to the upstage on a look, and another chase sequence that took them all to open white instead of whatever I loaded in the programmer. I programmed a memory cue for my...

Well I'm sitting at the console now at the back of house, and I've managed to program some memories in mode 2. Something is still capturing the LED values and holding them, so I either didn't clear the programmer like I thought, or I'm still doing something wrong. Unfortunately I don't have time to ...

Ah, well, the fixture itself is in the library - it's a Color Blaze TRX5 (RGBAW) 8 bit, and I used that profile. Everything seems to work just fine when I capture the fixture and use the color wheel or set the shape generator to rainbow. I never saw an option for a master dimmer on the console or li...

Color Kinetics Color Blaze and Pearl Tiger Programming Issue

Hi guys, Our theater just received (yesterday) a Pearl Tiger as well as some Color Blaze TRX5's, and I've been tasked with programming them as well as some older I-beams and conventionals into our house plot. Surprise - I have a show tomorrow and our theater manager has informed me that the donor wh...
