Re: Colour shapes on fixed wheel fixtures not working as expected ?

Hi Nic,

Thanks for the reply and the possible workround - appreciated. No way I'd have realised this was an 8bit/16bit issue.

Rgds,
John.

Colour shapes on fixed wheel fixtures not working as expected ?

I have a bunch of Pointes in a venue and I'd like to set up a shape to bump the colour wheel up/down one fixed colour on the wheel which can be applied to whatever is the existing colour. I'd expected the colour shape Colour 1 Step Up (or 1 Step Down or 1 Flick up or 1 Flick down or Shake) to enable...

Re: Titan Remote V11 problems

Hi John, If you're able to attach all files you're having issues with to the ticket that'd be great. Thanks, Done - but, apologies, ended up with two tickets (wasn't clear on the first one whether I'd got both files uploaded successfully) - anyway 3200 and 3202 have the files. They may well be rela...

Re: Titan Remote V11 problems

Hi John, ... It'd be great if you could submit a helpdesk ticket at https://www.avolites.com/software/help-desk/, attaching the showfile that is causing the problem and mentioning that I asked for the showfile. ... Done - ticket 3200. Have another showfile that has the same problem so give me a sho...

Re: Titan Remote V11 problems

Out of interest, if you stop the app fully (open app switcher and swipe app away), start a new show on the console, and start the app again, does it correctly load the new show? Tried this and yes, patching a simple new show (4xMAC250's + 24 Dimmers), and connecting via remote works. Trying the sho...

Re: Titan Remote V11 problems

Also interested in any updates on this issue. Same thing has happened - can connect to my quartz, remote says it is loading showfile, but then no fixtures (or indeed groups/Palettes etc) displayed. As for OP I use it for focussing and it's a major pain when i doesn't work. So far just tried uninstal...

Re: Create a sparkle effect

I often use the method suggested by Nic particularly for super-fast twinkles and e.g. program a pair - one which bumps to white and one which is just intensity. But I'll also use pixel maps - there's an example in the manual for generating random blobs and it's a different type of twinkle look to th...

Re: Moving showfiles from Quartz to/from Pearl Expert ?

Thanks Gregory, the handle world insight was exactly the sort of thing I was after. One thing I have noticed - on the quartz I can change the pages of the Fixtures and Playbacks workspace window using the built-in Macro "Change to Fixture Page 1 etc" but I can't find the equivalent for the...

Moving showfiles from Quartz to/from Pearl Expert ?

Looks like I'll be doing a bunch of shows at a venue with a Pearl Expert running V10.1 (with additional touchscreen). I won't get that much time on it beforehand and I've not used it before. I have a quartz+wing on which I'll do some pre-production- I'd prefer to do this than use the simulator if I ...

Re: Show Import

Hi Gregory, tried this with a couple of very different showfiles. One of them works fine - can see all fixtures/playbacks/groups. The other doesn't - get fixtures, palettes, groups but no playbacks. However as a result of your encouragement to experiment I have now managed to find an older version o...

Re: Show Import

I have a very similar problem to the second one listed here, again on 10.1 On import I can see/map fixtures but in the show library I'm trying to import from there are no playbacks, macros or workspaces listed in the import window. Palettes and groups are present and correct. Makes no difference if ...

Re: bpm tap tempo averaging algorithm ?

Riscster, Thanks for following up on this. It would be really good though to know exactly what the algorithm is particularly the timeout values for when a new group of taps starts - hopefully an avo insider will help ! I've had an issue where if I do some taps and then start another group (e.g. the ...

Key frame shapes - relative values

Been using keyframe shapes to get more interesting tilt and position+dim shapes than are available with the normal shape generator. Is it possible to set the keyframe shape so that it's based around the current fixture position rather than the absolute values in each frame ? (i.e. behaviour similar ...

bpm tap tempo averaging algorithm ?

What is the algorithm for averaging across taps ? The 10.1 release notes say that taps are averaged but not exactly how. It doesn't seem to just take groups of three. Does it timeout the count at any point so if I do two taps the third is assumed to part of a new set as opposed to averaging right fr...

Which group used/linked to a cue

I've been using multiple groups with different fixture orders to get different shape effects. When that's saved in to a cue what's the easiest to discover exactly which group was used ? I can use View Cue and it will give me a numeric listing of the fixture order, but not tell me which group is refe...
