Hi All, As i am a newly converted user of Azure 2000, i jumped from Pulsar & Coef consoles, to discover the convinient of AVO. But i feel a lots of lack in this product which are usualy present in many conventional desks, i had mention some in my previous posts.
A big thing what i am feeling about AVO community is, NOT EVERY ONE IS READY TO HELP EACHOTHER EXCEPT A FEW. and these nice people are not much know about all of the AVO consoles. mainly PEARL users are every where. Even Mederator NICLIGHTS also dont know much about Azure. Kindly do help the Azure users as we are in deep trouble without your kind sugestions.
My three new questions about Azure Are;
How can i add a existing memory into a saved chase. ( normaly we use include option to add existing memory in new chase). ?
How can i erase or delete or wipe some HTP channels from a saved memory(OFF button just off the channels but the channels be still there) ?.
Can we download the Avo software from another console to upgrade another ( same model ), insted of Avolites website, Do its work perfectly ?
Hope Few of you intentionaly reply me, regards. zahoor jury

I did not understand your reaction...
This is here only a forum, not a support website.

Why your local dealer did not sold this desk with a training day? I think it is very important because you only have only work on a masterpiece, which is not a real moving light desk because it only controls HTP channels. You need also to read all the manual, that you can find on the avo's website if you do not have it.

Your are trying to use the Azure like a masterpiece, so i said no!!!
The Azure is really a powerfull desk, it has also more memory than the MP, so why always need to include memory in memory? why not launch 2 different playback at the same time?

It is not possible to add an existing memory into a chase only using the include function, because a chase is a sequence of memory, and the include function take only a static moment ( memory, chase step, DMX in...). So if you really need that, you will need to include in each step of your chase your memory,
Try this:

playback your chase and stop it at each step,
playback your memory
include your memory
Press Record Live to include your memory in the stopped chase step.
Press enter to confirm...
Do the same thing for each step...

You can also playback and include your memory then unfold the chase to rerecord all step with the memory in +... or also unfold your chase and record using the function record stage...

The best way for you i think is to store snapshot then create a complete memory with the snapshot you want.... Or also work in Theatre stack mode, where you can autoload chases and memory on each step of your stack.

To erase some parameters on an existing memory, it is explain on page
130 of the manual. It work, i have tried it on azure and pearl.

For the PC keyboard to trig memories, not possible but try to have a look on the Azure midi documentation.

At the end, i personnaly think that the best way to work with azure desk is to record only HTP channels on faders playback, and the complete memory ( without dimmer of course...) above playback.

For example you have on playback 1 only the dimmer of 10 Golden Scan, and memory 11, 21, 31 41 are memories or chases for those scanners. In the last software, you can split faders and button page, so you can always have the same faders page (SHIFT+ PAGE)and only change the button page.
For this, you need to work in record by channel mode, and be very carrefull with this mode, you only record what's in the programmer...

Hi Nick , Glad to view your reply, your question that ,Why your local dealer did not sold this desk with a training day?. Actualy i belongs to Pakistan. Here we don`t have any dealer, nor any sort of support.
Regarding, Do i want to use Avo like MasterPeice ?. I say Yes. Because At here most of the people using that and well learned. i am the very first who dare to convert the format.
Desperately,with no support i was confused, i feel some fresh air after your reply and wish to get more from you in future. i wiil follow your sugestions. warm regards, zahoor jury

I spoke to persons today and raised my concerns at the number of unanswered questions here, especially for those in other countries where alternative support is perhaps limited.

They are aware and want to help but time and resources are often a problem. Please be patient.

Can we have a week together at the AVO office, all book a holiday and get all the consoles thrashed to death?, good for us, good for AVO

[zahoorjury]

Hi capitan, are you seriously standing along me or joking ?. Do you also have some issue like me ?. kindly let me know.
And the idea to go AVO together, i am living in Pakistan (Asia). not easy to get there , insted of that i prefare to get a brandnew desk.

[niclights]

Whether a serious suggestion or not it wouldn't be so useful.

Although it is undoubtedly much clearer and easier to explain about difficulties and bugs in person, the idea of 'thrashing' a console would not help because this is already done in-house.

It is the feedback from real working environments that matters since this is what cannot be simulated at base.
