Questions on how to use Rate Masters

Hello,

I'm using the Avolites Titan Mobile since a few weeks and now found some questions.

I would like to create a cue or cuelist with dimmer shapes and this shape speed shall be controlled from the TAP button through a Rate Master.
When I link the cue with the settings for speed and shapes with the Rate Master as described in the manual I can control the speed of the shape with the fader of the Rate Master, but when I set the fader to 100% and use the tap button it does not have an effect on the speed of the shape. Or is that not possible?
Chases change the speed when I tap the tempo.

The next question - can I change the status of the LED of the blue button of the Rate Master that it flashes in the speed of the master? Or can I see that in the screen somewhere? Would be helpful to see if I'm in the beat of the band before I start a chase.

Thanks
Jürgen

Unfortunately currently it's not possible to tap the tempo of a shape. This has been requested by others though and hopefully can be implemented in the future.

There is no function to flash the LED but is a good idea. May largely depend on whether the hardware is capable.

Ok, thanks for the quick reply.
To bad, would be very nice to tap the tempo of a shape. So I need to program it as a chase.

Thanks
Jürgen

However, it *is* possible to use the TapTempo key profile to set the rate of a BPM master.....then just set the Speed Source playback option of your cue containing the shape to take its speed from the corresponding BPM master....
