Hi,
I`m having a problem with RGB Shapes. The fixtures are CLS Pixelbar 36, and the personality is the CLS Pixelbar 36 3ch mode. I`ve patched 96 of these fixtures.
When i use a RGB shape everything is fine, but when i change the size in Timed and the speed in Static, and i dim all the shape everything stays on. When i put the fader to 100% the shape is running how i made a memory of it.
This happens at all shapes, except the shapes 'Red User', 'Blue User' and Green User.
Is it normal?
Ohw, i`m using an pearl expert classic.

I'm not sure that this would work how you want.
The rainbow and individual colour shapes all work on a sin pattern, offsetting both above and below an origin. Additionally, these colour shapes are absolute meaning they have an origin of 50%. So fading down the size on a rainbow would end up at RGB 50/50/50% respectively.
As I understand, the 'user' tag enables relative shapes, but the only way you could get a complete fade would be to set an origin of 0/0/0 and then the maximum offset will be +50%.
Why don't you use Titan? Not only can you have virtual dimmer (keeping the colour side of things separate) but also the shapes work over a larger range so that with an origin of zero you can still achieve an offset of 100%.

Dude, stop telling everywhere they should use titan. I`d choosed classic because i needed some things in HTP instead of LTP. And that`s (still) not possible in Titan.
But thanks for the info about the shapes. Maybe next time i`ll use titan.
I only asked the question. You only needed to give the reason.
Anyway, having thought about this more, I think you could get a full fade out if you used relative colour shapes, set RGB to 50% (as required) in the cue and then manually set an origin of 0%.
With a cue in mode2 and size set to timed, both the size and the origin will simultaneously fade to zero.

I was looking in the pearl, and i saw a Generic RGB personality with virtual dimmer, in classic mode. Does it works just like the virtual dimmer on titan?
And when i make a shape of a rgb fixture with virtual dimmer, can i record a shape, without the dimming part of the personality? So i can set the speed on a fader and a separat dimmer on a fader?
