Wherever a fixture macro is named the same the software will attempt to follow the rules for multiple fixture types simultaneously, so you can make this simpler by using a group that contains all fixtures and fire one 'lamp on' command (from the fixture macro menu you will notice 'lamp on x', where...

Having the group created, selected and layout editor started: - use wheels to rotate all to 270° (or 90°, depending from your setup) - [Arrange Fixtures>] - Height = 1 - [OK] That's it. The default orientation is defined in the personality: <Cell ID="Cell1" Name="Cell 1" Channe...

In particular Niclights has already posted some really sophisticated examples, e.g. http://avolitesshop.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=1480 or http://avolitesshop.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=1801 As for shuffle, another approach (of course for Dimmer/Colours only) would use the Pixelmapper. Have a re...

Although I personally prefer the 'real' keys - and thus: record key, include, clear/off, replace... the more elegant way is in the cue view: - record the same cue n times (I + P + C gives 3 separate cues) - View Playback (<Open> and the cue) - click [View] in the View Playback window - select the at...

File sent. Will submit it to Avolites as well

As for chasers, actually, either you control it via tap button, or via the standard way (connect, control speed with wheel).

When you mention effects: for shapes, you can set 'speed on fader', which would be your choice...

Does the <Open>-Button work at all? - alternatively, on the computer keyboard, hit Alt+V - verify correct switch operation in USB Expert console Global timing/tap: I'm tempted to count this as another vote for a speed master (tap would just be a subset of this). Gods in Park Ave, please listen to yo...

Hi, well, there is no direct connection between Vis and the virtual panel; the latter is only the simulated surface of the desk. I reckon you're running the Titan Simulator - and Titan is the computing kernel which cares for everything, including connecting the Vis... In that case, to get you runnin...

Well, I guess the display in Titan is limited to 4 lines, because I have the same thing with Lightconverse: it displays only 4 lines in the desk. But you can patch (and keep going), and assign the universes manually (if autoincrement doesn't work correctly). Even if the desk doesn't 'see' the ArtNet...

Hm. Titan in all flavours - including the mobile - definitely sends out more universes. A-D refers to the Expert DMX ports - the 4 DMX sockets (and yes, only 4 available). But Artnet can do more. Just patch ArtNet to the number of lines you wanna use, and adjust the universes manually, e.g. to 0~11....

you sure selected the correct option when syncing? You have to select which library to sync - select the AvoCache there. I did this wrong at first.

Else, and as a quick workaround, select the thumbdrive as source when patching

With a new PerlSim installation, select the folder aps2 in the Pearl 2004 Simulator directory as source when patching - contains all Mac 250, Mac 250+, Krypton and Entour.

Edit: pardon me, of course you're right, and Nic even more. The wash isn't in...

Of course you can use it as DMX source, to trigger the Expert. But apart from that: no. Different technologies, different generations.

Kurt, which fixtures did you patch, and attempted to use the pixelmapper with? Which language?

'ACW Service not running' was a startup timing problem in 4.2, you needed to start the service manually before starting the simulator. Easiest way to start the service: open a command line (Win+R), and type net start "Avolites Expert USB" Better: open a console window (Win+R, cmd) and then...
