[harima34]

Hi everybody, i have record a chase (4 different cue) with the Circle shape generator,
the problem i have is when i record it and play it, the Circle shape play from the beginning when the new cue is playing, is make like all my beam are shacking but not making the circle.
Did is possible to have an issue about that ? Have a tips ?

Thank you for everybody who will take time to read and answer me.

As there is a separate shape stored in each cue of the chase each time the cue is changing it will be cross fading to the new shape which may affect how the shape runs on the output. Depending on what you are trying to achieve you may wish to consider using cue lists which by default will track the shape from one cue to the next so that it will keep running consistently throughout. If you would like to elaborate more on what you are are trying to do then we may be able to suggest ways of achieving it.

Thanks for answer, what i'm trying to do is i have 2 groupd of beam (Left and Right), I take both group and make a Circle shape generator, then begine the cue
Cue 1 : Left group dimmer 100%
Cue 2 : Both group dimmer 0%
Cue 3 : Right group dimmer 100%
Cue 4 : Both group dimmer 0%

Then i change the fade in/out of each cue for the effect follow the music y play.

So how can i do you think for i can make that with the Circle shape generator wroks properly ?
Thank you

I have a couple of suggestions, the first is to create a cue list with a single step that contains the shape and autoloads the chase, the cue list can be set to Fire First Cue and Kill at 0 to make it work more like an ordinary cue.

Another option might be to record the dimmer pattern as a key frame shape and have both that and the circle shape in a cue. You could either set the times of the shapes independently on the shapes themselves or use the Local Clock option in v10.1 and set the BPM of the cue (and set the beat counts appropriately for each shape).
