Hi

I am running a pearl 2004 with the latest software etc etc.

We have programmed the show in theatre stack and all is working fine except for one small error. In a cue with a shape you can not run a chase.

What I mean is, if I had a shape in the cue playing i.e 4 mac 700's doing a circle and I then put up a playback with a parcan colour chase on the shape stops, this also happens if you assign a autoload on the cue. I have checked the mac 700 information has not benn captured in the chase and have tried recording the chase in both channel and fixture mode.

If you try and reload the shape as soon as the chase reaches the next step the shape will again freeze.

Any Ideas?

I'm also having the exact same issue. Does any one have any suggestions on how to resolve this? Or alternatives?

Without testing this does sound like a bad bug. But I have no real experience with Theatre Stack, so the only solution I can suggest is operating in non-stack?

Hi - I'm new to the Pearl, and am playing around with the simulator to get familiar with the desk. I'm seeing the same problem where shapes freeze when you play back a chase in theatre stack (this seems to happen when you play back a chase manually or with an autoload). Is this just a bug in the software version in the simulator, or does it happen on the real desk too?
