Submaster working and not working
Posted: Fri Jul 07, 2017 9:45 am
Hello everyone, (Massimo, listerning
seems like the submaster subject is every now and again an issue. And now I will probably complicate matters .
In the attached project, you will find a solo frame containing lots of buttons, actually with two scenes in them (Haus 1 and Haus 2 (meaning "house"). And on the right side are tons of faders in various frames. I had this all working . Tons of submasters, and a "Grand Master Submaster", colored red. I hoped that each Submaster would control the output of every frame of lower hierarchy. When I move faders down the first time I touch them, everything is fine. When I move them next time, they will pretend to have come from full value... (If you look at the DMX monitor)
Yesterday, they worked perfectly. Today I open the file, they act weird.
Why do I need all this? This is a virtual console for touring theater going from location to location, working with different kinds of laterns each day, so I need to be able to adjust their general output, and even for the same spot (like Portal Links (in English theatre terms Upstage Left)) I might need two different kinds of laterns (like 2kW and 1kW together), so I set up two "motorized" faders with their own submasters, to act as a sort of limiter. The Submaster called PL Master (Portal Links Master (upstage left master) should influence the output of both subframes, while the red "Grand Master Spiellicht (house lights)" should influence ALL frames. In general they do, but as I said, the moment you touch them a second time... Why did this work yesterday, but today not anymore? Am I already beginning to hallucinate?
Ideas, anyone? Massimo?
