I'm assuming these are Showtec ARCBAR 3? If so, which mode did you patch in the console?

If you patched 'Mode 1, 12 DMX' this does not contain a virtual dimmer and so preferably you need to change to 'Mode 1 +vDim'. I don't know why there is a non-virtual dimmer. This should have been removed IMO.

Annoyingly I can see there appears to be a fault in the vDim code which means the Magenta attribute still won't be controlled by the dimmer. If you can't wait for an official update this is very easy to fix yourself either using Personality Builder or a cheeky text edit.

Yes Showtec Arcbar 3"s patched in mode 1.

This problem isn't critical just very annoying in both programming and running show

Programming tomorrow for show on Saturday so cheeky text edit or builder solution would be great.

Sorry yes patched TT in mode 1.

I'll just email you a fixed file. It will be quicker than explaining. I will add instructions in the mail where to place the file etc. If you haven't done any programming yet then just patch the new version, otherwise you can use fixture exchange.

Many Thanks. help really appreciated!


Might have have 6 crappy Arcbars wanting new home after this. spent more time on these than the rest of the rig.
