Well, you're just trying to be awkward now!! So I see two 'potential' ways of achieving this. 1st is to overlay two shapes and match up speed and phase. Tilt shape would be some sort of saw as you say and dimmer shape would probably need a custom pattern to only shut down the light output briefly. Y...

Speaking from a Pearl point of view, the Groups are simply a way of selecting fixtures. They are not related to programming as such. If you have memories made from palettes then adjusting the palettes will change the memory.

Indeed. This is very difficult to achieve. You would have to record the probable intensity of fixture one at the point that fixture two begins etc. Additionally you would require a third step to allow a 'snap', without the previous fixture changing intensity (using complex timing). This is a nightma...

2000 and 2004 desks are essentially the same. Software will work identically on each machine.
Are you sure you are looking in the correct place? If the software didn't install properly then I doubt the desk would boot.

Set Legend is found via the [shift] (avo) menu in Program and Run Takeover.

ROFL

I do agree with both. Sim interface certainly isn't particularly practical and you could write code to intercept the comms between sim & vis. But, if you're good enough to do that & get it to output to the 3rd party DMX output device then you would probably write something less complicated b...

I somehow doubt it. Would be like giving away a console, or at least a software version of.

hehe! Actually I like most of your FR's, but I try to avoid turning the sticky into a discussion. You said exactly what I was thinking regarding the Dimmer OFF idea and it is difficult to know what is what in the LCD. I had a simlar idea of inverting (display colours) the values of selected fixtures...

Ok. Understood! Over to Olie I guess.

Is this not correct? The encoders only detect movement and direction, not position. Thus the only time a value is displayed is whilst moving with indication of speed and direction.

I also never use the tap function, but certainly sounds like a simple timing error. With so many functions some things end up being missed or not tested fully. Now that it has been reported I would imagine this will be easy to fix.

Wow. Not something you see everyday! Tnx.

Hehe! Well, there's nothing you can damage anyway. Unfortunately the only requirement for the new software is extended memory, which you appear not to have. Ooops. I guess I should have mentioned that! I'm not sure of the exact details of memory requirements against the various builds. I'm also conf...

Hmmm. The only time the menu should remain is if you do not select any suitable fixutres in which case a prompt will appear at the top of the display. Can you make this happen after a wipeall? I strongly recommend you update your software. It sounds like you are running a very old build. The 2004 bu...

No. The USB port is currently unused, but AFAIK cannot ever be implemented as an alternative to floppies. 2004 has four individual outputs for the four universes. 2000 has two each containing two universes (split over the 5 pins). Otherwise there is very little difference except for a slightly more ...
