I have reported this to ACT and am told it is on the list but it has not made it in the last couple of updates. If they want that functionality they need to have an option to disable it. It needs to be able to runs as MA2 with a cue respecting its follow and trigger commands. Also needs a way to have an option to stop recording trig time and follows in the timeline. going in and deleting all the trig time cues in the timeline is a pain.

It would be nice if you could directly enter a fade delay and wait time for each phaser step. Also allow any individual fixture timing in presets to be used when it is in a phaser.

Hi can anyone help me with this? My desire is to select a group of fixtures, press a macro which will input fade and delay times in to the programmer and then I can select a preset and see the preset happen in the selected timing. I want to do this so i can quickly look at different presets with different fade and delay timing without storing a seq.

I ran in to a few issues.

1) I have some macros which will put fade and delay times in to the programmer.

Select featuregroup “color”

On featuregroup “color”

Delay 0 thru 3 thru 0

It all works good.

If i have a popup in the macro it does not accept the thru syntax only a single numeric value.

Select featuregroup “color”

On featuregroup “color”

delay (Delay Time)

It works if i enter a single value "2" but not if i enter "0 thru 2 thru 0" in the popup window.

2) Second problem once I apply the timing and go to the preset it will use the timing in the preset even if no timing is recorded in the preset.

so fixture 1 thru 10 , macro applies individual fade and delay times to fixtures in the programmer, recall position preset with no timing record in the preset and the lights move in zero time.

If there is no timing values in the preset should it not take the timing applied to the fixtures in the programmer?

Thanks.

Thanks Ryan, getting the hang of this now.

I found a issue that has been reported when creating a phaser using dimmer in a preset, it is not using the values set in the preset. I was trying to recreate all the effects I had in MA2. I think I am missing something. Can anyone help explain how to create a phaser like the predefined one in MA3 called snap on from scratch? A phaser that snaps an attribute on and fades it out? In MA2 I would use a form but in MA3 I am stuck. It clearly is possible as it is a predefined phaser I just don't know how to do it?

Thanks.
