so is this the memory stick inside the console that the software runs from?

Sadly that doesn't help as the desk seems to unblock any and all cues saved on the console?

so can these be upgraded to make the console more faster?

Wonder if you can help me, I own an ma dot2, I programme lots of musicals on it which takes a lot of cues, I'm finding now that if I have 100+ cues which is normal for a musical, when I update a cue the desk will update I get a bar on my screens while the desk unlocks the cues, I'm finding if im in a cue where I have effects running etc the desk stops running these effects while this unblocking takes place and then it carries on when its finished, this can be extremely frustrating if you want to make a subtle change during a tech run etc, is there anything I can do to stop this from happening? or anything I can do to the hardware to speed this process up?

I did a musical last week which had 380+ plus cues and it took 6 seconds to unblock all cues which isn't ideal during a technical?



any advice id be most grateful

Hi All,

Does anyone have a fixture template for a TW1 that has the dimmer correctly so it works when MIB is active in the cue stack?

The template through the console effects the MIB from working properly, from what iv read it should be that DIM 2 should be Dimmer Mechanism?

Any help id be most grateful?

Cheers

No that’s gobo 1

Hi there

Does anyone have a fixture profile for Robe DLX where you can rotate and control the spin of gobo 2?

All the ones iv tried you can’t do it?

Hello there,

Is there a way dot 2 can tell you how many cues you have recorded including . cues?

iv also tried changing the magic timing for execution and programming and it still makes no difference?

strange because being a macro you'd think you can tell it what you want and it

Oh okay so you have to have that time set for the macro to work?

Hi

Iv tried what you suggested but what ever I do it doesn't take my fade command so the lights just snap on and off?

how would I create one that's a grid check/pre heat?

say I want every fixture to turn on to full with a fee of 30 seconds?
